How do I extract WAV audio from a MOV video on Mac?

Open the MOV video in Vid2Audio and choose WAV for export. Set the available sample-rate and channel options to suit your editing project, then export and check the result in your audio editor. WAV is useful for workflows that need uncompressed audio, but converting an already compressed source does not restore details that were previously lost.

Steps to follow

1. Make the MOV file available locally and confirm the source sound before importing it.
2. Choose WAV and match available sample-rate and channel settings to the requirements of your editing project.
3. Open the export in the target audio editor and check its duration, channels and playback before using it in a larger project.

WAV size and quality are separate questions

An uncompressed export can be much larger than the video's compressed sound. It is useful for compatible editing workflows but cannot recover missing detail. Keep enough free storage and avoid raising settings solely because larger numbers seem to promise better sound.
