Detach audio from a video clip in Final Cut Pro for iPad
By default, Final Cut Pro for iPad imports audio and video from the same source media into one clip. You can separate audio from a video clip in the timeline so you can move, trim, or edit it independently. For example, you might want to use just the audio portion of dialogue or interview clips to layer under titles or B-roll, or use the natural audio of a landscape shot to create an ambient sound edit.
Go to the Final Cut Pro app on your iPad.
Open a project, then select one or more clips in the timeline that contain both audio and video.

Do one of the following:
Touch and hold the selection, then tap Detach Audio.
Tap Clip in the menu bar, then choose Detach Audio (or press Control-Shift-S on a connected or paired keyboard).
A new audio clip appears as a connected clip beneath the video clip.
