Yet Another Audio Splitter

This is Yaas 0.6.0, a tool to split video soundtracks into separate tracks using OpenUnmix.

Installation

Using the installer

If you are under Windows and don’t know how to use pip (see below), you can use the latest yaas_installer.exe in https://github.com/kleag/yaas/releases

You must also install ffmpeg. It seems that the simplest way to do so under Windows is with winget (winget is installed by default on Windows 11, and can be installed using the Windows Store on previous versions).

To install ffmpeg with winget, start PowerShell, and then run:

winget install ffmpeg

Using pip

pip install yaas

If you are under Windows, you will have to ensure to have a working python installation and to have ffmpeg installed.

Usage

Starting the application

When installed with the Windows installer

Search yaas in your installed applications and start it.

When installed with pip

Just run

yaas

Using Yaas

Search the video from which you want to extract the sound tracks using the integrated browser, click the Start button, wait (it can be long), and then use the generated audio files. Those are put by default in $HOME/yaas_tracks. You can change the destination dir with the --out option.

If you want to interrupt an extraction, just click the Stop button that replaces the Start button during work.
