Remove Music From Video
Remove music from video for free with Veena, an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Drop in your clip, pull its sound onto its own track and split it into vocals, drums, bass and other. Keep the voice, mute the song, and export the same video with the picture and the sound you chose.
Most music removers end at a download button. Veena ends at a session: the voice is already on a timeline, beside a mixer and a producer who can write a new soundtrack under it, then export the whole thing as an MP4.
Remove background music from a video, step by step
- Open daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Nothing to install; it runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc or Firefox.
- Import the video. Press Upload in the transport bar or drag the file onto the timeline. Veena reads MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI.
- Right-click the video clip and choose Separate Audio. The sound lands on its own audio track; the picture stays in its clip.
- Right-click the audio and choose Separate into Stems. A "Separating…" badge sits on the clip while it works, then four tracks appear: vocals, drums, bass and other, each lined up with the source.
- Mute drums, bass and other. What plays is the voice. Veena mutes the original audio rather than deleting it, so nothing is lost.
- Open Export and choose MP4. The picture leaves with the sound you kept.
Keep the voice, or replace the music
| You want | Do this |
|---|---|
| The voice alone | Mute drums, bass and other; export MP4 or a WAV of the vocals |
| The music alone | Mute vocals; export the instrumental as a WAV or MP3 |
| A new soundtrack | Mute the old music, then describe the new one to CoProducer |
| A balanced mix | Keep every stem, lower the music's fader and mix the voice on top |
Guitars, keys and synths come back together in the other track, so a video's music usually lands across drums, bass and other. Mute all three, or lower them one at a time to leave a trace of room in the sound.
Score it again with CoProducer
Once the old music is out, the video still needs something under it. Tell CoProducer the tempo, the mood and where the important moment falls, for example "warm piano and light drums, with a lift for the reveal at bar 9". It writes ordinary parts on their own tracks, offers three takes of each, and keeps the voice where you put it. The steps for making music for video in Veena cover the arrangement side.
Use your own video and recordings, and export without a watermark on the free plan.

What to expect from the split
Veena places the stems on tracks beside the original, so every choice can be undone and compared. Solo the vocals to hear what the voice sounds like on its own, then bring the other tracks back one at a time to find the balance you want. A video with speech over music, a vlog with a song underneath, a cover recorded to a backing track and a rehearsal clip all split the same way. When the voice needs more help, the clean-up tools below take over.
Then finish the sound
A video with the music gone often still needs a clean voice. Veena's clean up audio in video workflow adds Noise Removal and De-Esser, then balances and masters the result. The free vocal remover and the stem splitter work on the same split when you start from a song rather than a clip.
Veena is the place to remove music from a video and have a producer, a mixer and an MP4 export ready for what comes next. Open your video free.

Take the audio from my video, keep the voice and mute the music underneath, then write a quiet 90 BPM piano bed in C major with soft brushed drums that stays behind the speech and lifts a little at bar 9 for the reveal.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove music from a video for free?
Import the video into Veena, right-click the clip and choose Separate Audio, then right-click the audio and choose Separate into Stems. Mute the drums, bass and other tracks, keep vocals, and the song drops out while the voice plays. Export an MP4 and the picture leaves with the new sound. It runs free in your browser.
Can I remove background music from a video and keep the voice?
Yes. Veena splits the video's sound into vocals, drums, bass and other on time-aligned tracks. The voice lands on the vocals track and the music lands on the rest. Mute the music tracks, solo or keep the vocals, and compare it with the original, which Veena mutes beside the stems rather than deleting.
Do I need to sign up to remove music from a video?
You sign in once with Google, and that is the whole setup: no card, no trial clock and nothing to install. Removing music from a video runs in your browser inside Veena's free studio, so the voice sits on a timeline with CoProducer, a mixer, your own plug-ins and MP4 and WAV export beside it.
What video files can I remove music from?
Veena opens MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI. Drag the file onto the arrangement or press Upload in the transport. The picture sits in its own clip, and Separate Audio puts the sound on an ordinary audio track you can split into stems, edit, mix and export with the video.
Can I replace the music in my video with something new?
Yes. After you mute the old music, ask CoProducer for a new soundtrack: describe the tempo, mood and where the moments fall, and it builds drums, bass and chords as editable tracks beside your video. Mix it under the voice, then open Export and choose MP4 so the picture carries your own music.
Can I export the video without the music?
Yes. Open Export from your avatar at the bottom of the left sidebar and choose MP4, which appears whenever the project holds a video. Veena renders the picture with the audio you left unmuted. For the voice on its own, export a 24-bit/48 kHz WAV or a 320 kbps MP3. Exports have no cap and no watermark.
How long a video can Veena take music out of?
Veena splits files up to 95 MiB, about 8½ to 9½ minutes of stereo audio. The right-click split doesn't use your daily CoProducer allowance on the free plan.
Can I remove music from my own recordings, not just videos?
Yes. The same split works on a voice memo, a rehearsal take, a demo or an old bounce: import the audio, choose Separate into Stems and keep the parts you want. Your own recordings stay yours, and you own the music you make in Veena on every plan.
