How to Remove Music from Your AI Videos (Easy Tutorial)
Solves a common post-production issue in AI video creation where models bake background music into clips, providing a straightforward stem-isolation workflow to extract clean sound effects.
What this lesson covers
Caleb from Curious Refuge demonstrates how to use Meta's free SAM Audio playground to isolate unwanted background music from AI video generations. By uploading clips from tools like Seedance 2.5 and applying prompt-based separation, creators can extract clean sound effects for flexible video editing.

Meta's SAM Audio provides sound separation capabilities accessible via a web playground, ComfyUI workflow integration, or local machine deployment.
- 1:09 ↗
AI video generators like Seedance 2.5 frequently embed unwanted background music into output audio tracks even when prompting against it.

SAM Audio stem isolation works on standard camera footage and smartphone video as well as AI-generated clips.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Access the Meta SAM Audio playground web interface.
- Upload the video generation containing unwanted background music.
- Type 'the music' into the prompt text field to specify the target audio element.
- Click 'Isolate Sound' to process the audio track into isolated stems.
- Review the resulting music-only and sound-effects-only panels to verify audio separation before export.
