So it places a watermark on your output unless you purchase it...not terribly helpful as a trial how do we know the full version works as expected. Why not provide a time limited trial instead of this watermark crap
Hi, Mahgoog. Firstly, you can drag the music video to the video track then right click on the video thumbnail and choose Audio Detach. Then the audio track of the music video will be separated in the audio track. Next you can only delete the original video in the video track and then drag the target movie to the video track instead. Lastly,click the Export button to generate the final result.
