I’m making an animatic, and want to know how to extract audio from a video and turn it into a file I can insert into a movie making program.

With ffmpeg installed, you can extract just the audio. Here is a sample command usage:

ffmpeg -i video_file.mp4 audio_file.mp3

    You may want to pass through the audio so it's not reencoded. The top answer on this stack overflow article has an example. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9913032/how-can-i-extract-audio-from-video-with-ffmpeg

    And a copy/paste:

    ffmpeg -i input-video.avi -vn -acodec copy output-audio.aac

    I’m trying to download it, but my Chromebook is making the file register as “read only.” How do I fix that?
