Editing How to Add Background Music to a Video in iMovie


iMovie is a popular video editing software available for macOS and iOS devices. Adding background music to a video in iMovie can help enhance the overall quality and impact of your video. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open iMovie and create a new project.

2. Import the video clip to which you want to add background music.

3. Click on the "Audio" button in the iMovie toolbar to access the audio library.

4. Browse through the available music tracks or search for a specific track using the search bar.

5. Once you have found the track you want to use, drag and drop it onto the timeline at the bottom of the iMovie window.

6. Adjust the volume of the background music to ensure that it doesn't overpower the video's audio by dragging the volume slider in the audio track's settings.

7. If necessary, you can trim the music track to match the length of the video clip by clicking on the track and using the yellow handles to adjust the start and end points.

8. You can also adjust the timing of the music by clicking on the music track and selecting "Clip Adjustments" in the dropdown menu. This will allow you to adjust the start time, end time, and duration of the music clip.

9. Once you're satisfied with the changes, preview the video to ensure that the background music complements the video and enhances its overall impact.

10. Finally, export the video with the added background music and save it to your desired location.

That's it! With these steps, you can add background music to your video in iMovie and create a more engaging and impactful video.
