Audio Exporter stands out in the Blender Extensions library for keeping audio export self-contained within the VSE, offering separate and combined modes alongside codec, sample rate, bit rate, and channel controls.
Audio Exporter adds an audio export workflow to Blender's Video Sequence Editor. From Sequencer > View menu > Audio Export, it exports audio strips individually as separate files or bundled into a single combined file, letting you match the mode to the job.
The add-on works with Blender's audio codecs, including AAC, AC3, FLAC, MP2, MP3, PCM, and Vorbis, and lets you set sample rates, bit rates, and the audio channel layout across Mono, stereo, 5.1, and 7.1. File naming and path management include an auto-numbering feature to avoid overwriting existing files, and sample and bit rate control covers both high-quality and compressed outputs.
Built by Dinesh007, Audio Exporter is compatible with Blender 4.5 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It sits at rank 456 in the Blender Extensions library, with source and issue tracking available on the developer's GitHub page.
Audio Exporter is best for blender VSE users who need to export audio strips as separate or combined files with control over codec, sample rate, bit rate, and channel layout.
Audio Exporter is completely free to download and use.
Audio Exporter is compatible with Blender 4.5 LTS and newer, so you'll want a Blender install at that version or later to run it. The add-on lives inside the Video Sequence Editor, where it handles exporting audio strips either as separate files or as a single combined file. It's a compact extension at 6 KB and is currently at version 1.1.0. For the latest compatibility details and updates, check the developer's GitHub page.
Audio Exporter supports Blender's audio codecs, including AAC, AC3, FLAC, MP2, MP3, PCM, and Vorbis, so you can choose a format that fits your project. Alongside the codec, you can set the sample rate and bit rate, with options aimed at either high-quality or compressed outputs, and pick the audio channel layout from Mono, stereo, 5.1, or 7.1. These settings apply whether you export strips as separate files or as a single combined file.
Audio Exporter is accessed from within Blender's Video Sequence Editor at Sequencer > View menu > Audio Export. From there you can choose between Separate Files and Combined File export modes and manage filenames and paths, with an auto-numbering feature that helps avoid overwriting existing files. The add-on requests file access permission because it needs to write to the directory where it exports your audio. Installation follows Blender's standard flow, using drag and drop into Blender or Install from Disk.
Audio Exporter is listed as free here, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, an open-source license. That means you're free to use it, and the source code is available for review. For current licensing terms, download options, and any updates, the best place to look is the developer's GitHub page, where the project and its issue tracker are hosted. The add-on is currently at version 1.1.0.
