Grab the soundtrack, voiceover, or interview audio out of a video clip without special software.
Recording an interview, a lecture, or a memo on video is easy; getting just the audio back out usually is not, unless you own a video editor. This shortcut hands that job to Filemorph's Extract Audio from Video action, which reads the audio track straight out of the video container with AVFoundation and writes it as a standalone M4A file — no re-encoding the picture, no importing into an editing app first. Point it at any video from Files or Photos and it returns audio you can save, share, or feed into another shortcut. Because the extraction happens on the device's own media frameworks, the video clip — which might be a client interview or a personal recording — never has to leave the phone to get its audio pulled out.
There's no one-tap install for this one yet — add each action below in the Shortcuts app and you'll have it running in about two minutes.
No. Extract Audio from Video reads the track locally with AVFoundation; the shortcut works without a network connection.
No, Extract Audio from Video is a Pro feature ($29.99/year, 7-day trial). Basic image conversions are what Filemorph's free tier covers.
Every action in this recipe runs entirely on-device — no upload, no account.
