1. Mute Video with FilmForth Free Video Editor in 3 Clicks

First of all, I highly recommended FilmForth which is free and easy-to-use which perfectly replaces the Windows Movie Maker. With its powerful free video editing features, you can replace audio, increase video volume, add transitions between videos, and trim video, etc. easily!

The best part about being a free video editor is that you won’t have annoying watermarks on your videos. Now, how do you remove the voice from video clips with FilmForth? Let’s check out the steps below!

Step 1. Install and Launch FilmForth

Go get it for Microsoft Store. Once you’re on the page, click on Get. For me, the entire installation process took between 3 to 5 minutes. Once the installation is complete, launch the app, and you’ll be ready to roll.

Step 2. Import the Video

Once you’ve launched the app, click on New Project to import the video.

Create a new project

To upload your video, click on Add Video/Photo Clips, and you’ll be taken to your storage area. Navigate to where you’ve stored your video, select it, and hit Open. Or just drag or drop the video to FilmForth.

Drag and Drop the Video to FilmForth

Step 3. Mute the Video Now

This is the easiest part. Simply tap on the video on the storyboard to reveal a set of editing options for your video. Select Detach Audio.

Select Detach Audio

A red bar will immediately appear under the video. Tap on the red bar and select Delete.

Remove the Audio from the Video

That’s it, the audio is gone! You can now tap on the blue arrow button at the bottom left corner of the project window to proceed with saving your video.

Step 4. Save the New Video

Hit the blue Save button on the bottom right corner of the project window. You’ll be asked to choose your desired video quality, from 480p to 4K.

Save the New Video

Here we recommended the 720p which is the best balance between size and quality. So it is recommended that you leave it at that default value. Then hit Save to export the video to your computer.

2. Using Windows Photos to Remove Sound from Video

Microsoft Photos, a great free MP4 editor that works on Windows 10 and 11, can be used to do quite a few things, including getting rid of sound from your videos. So many people can’t figure it out, but in this section, I’ll show you how it’s done. You can find Microsoft Photos from Windows start menu.

Step 1. Open Windows Photos App

If you can’t find your Microsoft Photos app right away, simply tap on the Windows icon on the bottom left corner of your screen and start typing Photos, the Microsoft Photos icon will show up. Click on it, and you’ll be taken into the app.

Step 2. Select Video Editor and Start a New Video Project

At the top right corner of the Microsoft Photos app, you will see an array of options: Collections, Albums, People, Folders, and Video Editor. Select a video editor. On the new window, select New Video Project.

Select New Video Project

When you click on New Video Project, you’ll be prompted to input a file name. You can choose to add a file name or simply select skip.

Step 3. Add the Video

First, click on Add. If you have stored your videos on your PC, select From this PC, navigate to where you’ve stored your video, and select it.

Project Library

The video will show up in the Project Library section. Now it’s time to remove the sound from your video.

Step 4. Remove the Sound from the Video

Drag the video from the Project Library to the Storyboard section.

Remove the Sound

Next, tap on the sound icon on the video thumbnail twice. This will mute the sound of the audio.

Mission completed! You can now proceed with saving the new video. To be fair, using Microsoft Photos for removing voice from videos is not easy for most people. So if you’d like to do this way faster and easier, we do much more recommended FilmForth as the most convenient audio removal utility.
