Today I have made a quick tutorial on how to strip audio from a video file using Quicktime Pro. I know most major video editing software will do this for you but some people don’t have that.

Remember, all video on a Mac is based on Quicktime anyway, even if your using Premier Pro it will just be a fancy front end for Quicktime!
