Frequently asked questions
- Does removing audio re-encode the video?
- No, it uses stream copy to strip the audio track without touching the video data. The operation is nearly instant regardless of file size. All processing runs on your self-hosted SnapOtter server.
- Can I remove just one audio track from a multi-track video?
- This tool removes all audio tracks. For selective track management, a video editor is more appropriate. The muting process runs entirely locally on your self-hosted instance.
- Is this suitable for removing sensitive audio from recordings?
- Yes, the audio track is completely removed from the output file. Since SnapOtter is self-hosted, the original recording with audio never leaves your network during processing.
