How To Add Background Music To A Video Clip In Under 5 Mins?
Step 1: Log in or Sign up for a free account on InVideo.
You can choose to work with the ready-to-use templates from our library or you can also upload your own video using the Blank Canvas option.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the Blank Canvas option. Don’t forget to select the aspect ratio for your video depending on where you will be uploading it.
Step 2: To upload your video to the editor, click Uploads on the left hand side panel of your screen and use the Upload Media button to upload your video. Once your video is uploaded, simply drag and drop it on the center of the screen to add it to your scene - and you can also trim it here, if needed.
Step 3: Once your video is uploaded to the scene, click on the Music tab on the left hand side panel of your screen.
You can search for the perfect music track on Invideo's royalty-free SFX library. InVideo’s in-built library lets you filter audio tracks based on genre, mood, sfx and more.
And if you want to upload your own track, select the Upload Music button next to the search bar to upload a music file from your computer.
You can use the Play button on the image of any music clip to listen to the audio. When you find the right track, click the plus (+) button to add the music to your video.
Step 4: Hover the mouse cursor over the timeline where your track has been added and click on Edit.
You can find a host of music editing options here such as:
- Volume and fade (Adjusts the volume and time for fade in and fade out)-
- Trim (Shortens the length of audio)
- Loop (Plays the sound after it ends on a loop)
- Duplicate (Adds a copy of original sound)
- Delete (Deletes the soundtrack)
Step 5: You can also click on the Timeline button to adjust your music and align it to your video.
Step 6: Once you’re done with your edits, you can click the Download & Share button on the top right corner of the screen. Select the resolution you want to download your video in and click on the Export button to save the file to your computer.
