Mute Video
The Mute Video block removes the audio track from a video file, producing a silent version of that video.
Remove audio track from a video file
The Mute Video block removes the audio track from a video file, producing a silent version of that video. It takes a video URL as its primary input and writes the resulting muted video's URL to a variable you specify via the destinationVar parameter. This makes it straightforward to pass the output into downstream blocks that need a silent video asset.
The block includes an optional intermediateAsset flag. When set to true, the output asset is created and stored but kept hidden from the gallery, which is useful when the muted video is an intermediate step in a longer pipeline rather than a final deliverable you want surfaced to end users.
This block fits into video editing and media processing workflows where audio removal is a required step — for example, before overlaying a new audio track, adding text-to-speech narration, or delivering a silent version of a clip for a specific platform or use case.
What you can build
Real-world workflows powered by the Mute Video block.
Replace Original Audio Track
Mute a source video before attaching a new voiceover or background music track generated elsewhere in the workflow.
Add AI Narration
Strip the original audio from a video so a text-to-speech block can supply AI-generated narration without mixing with existing sound.
Silent Social Media Clips
Produce muted video clips intended for platforms or placements where autoplay audio is disabled or unwanted.
Subtitle-Only Video Export
Mute a video as part of a pipeline that burns in subtitles, ensuring the final output relies solely on on-screen captions.
Intermediate Pipeline Asset
Use the intermediateAsset flag to create a hidden muted video that feeds into further editing steps without cluttering the asset gallery.
Compliance Content Preparation
Remove audio from recorded videos before sharing them in contexts where the original audio cannot be distributed.

Get Started FreeCommon questions about Mute Video
What parameters does the Mute Video block require?
The block requires two parameters: videoUrl, which is the URL of the video file to be muted, and destinationVar, which is the name of the variable where the output URL of the muted video will be saved.
What does the block return?
The block saves the URL of the muted video to the variable specified in destinationVar. That URL can then be referenced by subsequent blocks in the workflow.
What does the intermediateAsset option do?
When intermediateAsset is set to true, the muted video asset is created and stored but hidden from the gallery. This is useful when the muted video is only needed as an intermediate step and should not appear as a final output for end users.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block is used in video editing and media processing workflows — for example, pipelines that replace audio tracks, add AI-generated narration, produce silent clips for specific platforms, or prepare videos for subtitle overlays.
Does the block modify the original video file?
No. The block takes a videoUrl as input and produces a new muted video, saving its URL to destinationVar. The original video at the source URL is not altered.
