How to Add Background Music to a Video
Imagine watching a video without any background music. It feels hollow, lacking that special something that enhances the overall experience. Background music has that power to captivate our emotions and immerse us in the story by building anticipation, enhancing drama, or, on the contrary, providing a sense of calm.

When chosen thoughtfully, music has the ability to transform a mundane video into a captivating masterpiece. It shapes the viewer’s perception, influencing how they interpret the scenes unfolding before them. The right musical accompaniment can evoke nostalgia, make us feel empowered, or even bring tears to our eyes.

So, the next time you sit down to create a video masterpiece, remember the indispensable role of background music. Consider the mood you want to convey and the emotions you want to evoke, by selecting your music wisely. Use the effect of background music to transport your viewers on an unforgettable cinematic journey. 
Where do I find fitting quality music for my project?
Remember, it’s essential to respect copyright laws and ensure that the music you use is properly licensed, especially if you plan to publish your videos online on platforms like YouTube or for commercial purposes. 

You can always find like-minded people, who are professionals when it comes to sounds, however it comes at a hefty price. This used to be a common issue that luckily is no more. Today, there are numerous platforms offering royalty free audio tracks of different genres, and you can definitely find one that satisfies your needs.

Personal go-to is Epidemic Sound, it's a paradise of more than 40000 tracks for your needs. There you can find tracks categorized by the intended purpose, be that a podcast or a movie. Rates start at $17.99 a month, but it can be as low as $9.99 if you commit to an annual subscription. Make sure to use the free trial period to see whether it suits you before purchase.
Bensound is a great alternative at the same price rate, but also offers a pay-per-track option.
Artlist is a close alternative to Epidemic Sound, offering a plethora of music at a lower price, if you decide to pay monthly.
Picking the Right Tools for the Job
Now that we understand the significance of background music, let’s delve into the practical aspect of things. To start adding the perfect sound into your videos, you’ll need the right tools and resources.

First and foremost, you’ll require reliable video editing software. Explore options like iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or Movavi Video Editor, and to understand their differences more, make sure to check out this article with the best software to edit mp4. 

These tools offer a range of features, including the ability to import and edit videos, adjust audio levels, and synchronize your chosen background music with your visuals. Some applications even come with libraries of preinstalled sounds to select from.

Once you have your video editing software in place, the next step is to obtain or create the music file you want to use. We have already discussed browsing through royalty-free music libraries, such as Epidemic Sound, Artlist, or Bensound. But there is an alternative that can take your content even further.

You can tap into your creativity and compose your own music using software like GarageBand, Ableton Live, or try more advanced programs like FL Studio. This allows you to have complete control over the composition, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your video’s mood and theme.
Step-by-step guide to adding background music
Most tools in the modern day editing software are alike. From the looks of the UI to the functions they fulfil. Coming from personal preference and the idea to make this article educational for people of all levels, I am going to discuss the steps on the example of Movavi Video Editor.

When I mention people of all levels, the idea is that Movavi as a company strives to make the products user-friendly and full of features at the same time, so that it can suit all levels of technical know-how. Also, the software is a great example due to being accessible both on Windows and macOS.
Step 1: Install the software of your choice
Start by downloading the video editing software from the official website page. In my case, I use Movavi Video Editor and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Once installed, I launch the program.
Step 2: Add media files to the program


Click on the “Add Files” button, then select your visuals and audio files you want to combine them with. These files will be placed in the Media Bin. To add them to the timeline for editing, drag and drop the media files at the bottom. There, video files will be added to the Video Track, while audio files will appear on the Audio Track.
Step 3: Adjust the length

Now that we found our audio of choice, we can trim them as desired. If the song is longer than the video, move the red line to the end of the video and use the Scissors icon to split the audio. Delete any unnecessary parts after that. Conversely, if the video is longer than the audio, you can add another soundtrack and edit it to fit the video’s length. 

Keep in mind, that for a consistent audio experience throughout the video, you should copy the music track and place it where the first audio ends. It will result in the song playing from the beginning, so my personal piece of advice is to try finding looped versions of audio or tinkering with it yourself, striving to achieve smooth transitions.
Step 4: Adjust the sound volume

Maintaining the right balance between background music and video sound is crucial. Click on the audio track you want to edit and open Clip Properties. Use the Volume slider to make adjustments, ensuring the background music doesn’t overpower the video sound while remaining audible.

Step 5: Save your results

To save the final version of your video with the newly added background music, click on “Export” highlighted in blue in the lower-right corner. Choose your preferred video format from the list and select the destination folder where you want to save your clip. Click “Start” and wait for the export process to complete.
