How to add music to a video
Give your footage a soundtrack with a purpose
Adding music to video can set a pace, connect scenes, or make a short montage feel complete. Start with the message of your clip rather than the loudest track. A quieter instrumental can support a spoken explanation, while a stronger rhythm may suit a product reveal. Preview the music against the footage before committing to it, and keep the sound consistent when you move between scenes.
Browse music or upload your own audio
The Audio app lets you browse categories including Hip Hop, Pop, Chill, Dramatic, and Cinematic. Preview tracks to compare their pace and mood before adding one to your video. You can also use Upload for an audio file from your device. Check the track’s terms and your intended use before publishing; an available audio file is not automatically cleared for every platform or commercial project.
- Use a track that fits the story
Add a voiceover when the story needs an explanation
Music supports a mood, while a voiceover can explain a product, introduce a scene, or guide a tutorial. Keep narration clear and leave space between spoken lines when the visuals need attention. Explore AI Voice Generator for a separate text-to-speech workflow, then use audio you are allowed to add to your video. Listen to the voice and music together before exporting.
Balance background music with voices and sound effects
Listen to your video at a normal playback volume and check every section that includes speech. Lower the background track where necessary so the words remain clear. If your edit includes a sound effect or more than one audio layer, review the overlap rather than judging each track alone. Check available fade controls for a softer opening or ending, and avoid an abrupt music cut when the final scene is still visible.
- Give speech and music room to work together
Finish the picture after you set the sound
A soundtrack works best with a clear visual sequence. Trim your video to remove a slow opening or an unwanted ending, and use text overlays when viewers need a title or a short label. Review the music again after changing the duration so it still fits the final cut. The goal is one finished video whose audio and visuals support the same message.
Add a soundtrack for your video’s purpose
Create a new audio asset when you need one
Adding an existing track and generating a new one are separate jobs. Explore the audio models catalog for available music and voice workflows. Review the model’s output and usage terms before adding it to your video. Check the finished audio against your footage, then adjust its timing and volume like any other soundtrack.
