Getting Started with AI Vocal Remover in Filmora 13 and 14
So here’s the deal: not every version of Filmora has this AI feature. You’ll need at least version 13 or 14. If you’re still on Filmora 12 or older, it might be time for an upgrade. I’m running Filmora 14 here, and this is how it goes down.
Import Your Song or Video File
Open up Filmora and drop your audio or video file onto the timeline. You can use any song, but for this demo, I’m using a track that’s got both vocals and instruments mixed together. If the audio’s too loud, you can enable auto normalization, but that’s optional.
Play and Preview the Audio
Before you start splitting things, hit play and listen for a few seconds. Make sure you can hear both the vocals and the background music. This helps you know what to expect after the separation.
Trim the Audio (Optional)
If you don’t want to process the whole track, just split and delete the parts you don’t need. This saves time, especially if you’re just testing things out.
Use the AI Vocal Remover
Here’s where the magic happens:
- Click on the audio file in your timeline.
- Right-click and choose AI Vocal Remover.
- Or, go to Tools > Audio > AI Vocal Remover.
Now, just wait for it to process. The cool thing? It doesn’t use up your AI credits and doesn’t need an internet connection. The AI runs right on your computer.
Check the Results: Two New Audio Tracks
Once it’s done, you’ll see two new audio tracks in your project:
- One is just the vocals.
- The other is just the instrumentals.
Mute or solo each track to hear the difference. If you only want the vocals, mute the music. If you want a karaoke track, mute the vocals and keep the instrumentals.
What to Do With the Separated Tracks
Now you’ve got options. Export just the vocals, just the music, or both. Use them for karaoke, remixes, or background music for your next video. If you’re into video editing, check out how to blur face in Filmora or how to remove background noise in Filmora for more audio tricks.
Troubleshooting and Tips for Better Results
- Make sure you’re using Filmora 13 or 14. Earlier versions don’t have this feature.
- The AI works best with clear, well-mixed songs. If the vocals are buried in the music, results might be less clean.
- Processing time depends on your computer’s speed and the length of the audio.
- You don’t need to worry about AI credits or internet usage. Everything’s local.
