How do you add only an interview clip's audio, without its video to a Sequence?

• A. Activate the Source-side video track and deactivate the Source-side audio track, then drag and drop
• B. Activate the Source-side audio track (green) and deactivate the Source-side video track, then drag and drop
• C. Edit the clip in place and mute the video
• D. Use a separate audio-only sequence

Answer: (B)

In Media Composer, you decide what gets inserted into the timeline by choosing which Source tracks are active. For adding only the interview’s audio, turn on the Source-side audio track (green) and turn off the Source-side video track, then drag the clip into the Sequence. With only the audio track active, the drag-and-drop operation brings in just the audio portion, leaving the video out of the insertion. This is the direct way to place only audio from a clip. The other approaches would bring in video or require extra steps like muting video afterward or creating a separate audio-only sequence, which isn’t as efficient for this goal.
