How to Add Music in Final Cut Pro

Adding music to your Final Cut Pro project is a great way to enhance the overall mood and atmosphere of your video. Here's how you can add music to your Final Cut Pro project:

1. Import your music file: First, you need to import the music file you want to use into your Final Cut Pro project. To do this, click on the "Import Media" button in the top-left corner of the screen, select your music file from your computer, and click "Import."

2. Create a new project: Once your music file is imported, you need to create a new project or open an existing one. To create a new project, click on "File" in the top-left corner of the screen, select "New" and then "Project."

3. Drag the music to the timeline: Once you have your project open, you can drag your music file from the media browser to the timeline at the bottom of the screen. You can also right-click on the music file and select "Insert into Primary Storyline" to add it to the timeline.

4. Adjust the music volume: Once the music is in the timeline, you can adjust its volume by selecting the music clip and dragging the volume slider up or down in the audio inspector. You can also add keyframes to the volume to create fades or adjust the volume at specific points in the video.

5. Trim the music: If you need to trim the music clip to fit your video, you can do so by selecting the music clip and dragging the edges in the timeline. You can also split the music clip into multiple segments and move them around in the timeline.

6. Add effects: If you want to add effects to the music, such as EQ, reverb, or compression, you can do so by selecting the music clip and opening the audio inspector. From there, you can add and adjust audio effects as needed.

7. Export your video: Once you have added music to your Final Cut Pro project, you can export your video by clicking on "File" in the top-left corner of the screen, selecting "Export" and then choosing your desired export settings.
