Remove audio from video in QuickTime player 10.4

The article How to Use QuickTime Player 10 says that you should be able to remove either audio or video underneath the Edit tab. Article published June of 2020.


That option does not exist under Edit in my version 10.4.


Anyone else know how to actually remove audio from a video?


Thank you!

Hi Katie,


maybe that feature has been introduced with QuickTime 10.5 which is available from Mojave (10.14) above.


I've checked on a Yosemite machine (10.10) which carries QuickTime 10.4 (the same as yours) and indeed the audio/video remove commands aren't available.


You can remove audio track using a utility like Subler. Remember to make a copy of your video first and work on the copy.


There's even an Automator action for that, although some users claim it's not working properly: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/238653/remove-audio-track-in-quicktime-10


On Catalina the specific action has been removed from Automator, so I couldn't try.


On Yosemite it's available. I got actually a strange error, though – something protection-related (not possible to edit/modify the video).
