Installing a Music Editing Program
Before you can start adding music to your video clips, you will need to install a music editing program. There are many different programs available, but for this tutorial we will be using the free software Audacity. You can download Audacity from the following website:
Once you have downloaded and installed Audacity, launch the program and open the first video clip that you want to add music to. To do this, go to the File menu and select Open. In the file browser window that appears, navigate to the location of your video clip and then click on the Open button.
Adding Music to Your Clips
Adding music to your clips can enhance the emotion and set the tone of your video. You can do this using free software such as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. Here’s a quick guide on how to add music to your clips.
1. Start by opening the software program you will be using.
2. Import the video clip you want to add music to.
3. Find the track you want to use as background music for your clip. You can either use a song that you already have on your computer, or search for a song online.
4. Once you have found the track, drag it into the timeline of your video editing software. Place it underneath the video clip so that it doesn’t cover up any of the action.
5. Adjust the length of the track so that it matches up with the length of your clip. You may need to fade in or fade out the music so that it doesn’t start or end abruptly.
6. Once you’re happy with how everything looks, export your final video and enjoy!
Exporting Your Edited Clip
Once you have edited your clip and added all of the music and sound effects that you want, it is time to export it. This simply means saving your work so that you can view it later or share it with others. To do this, open the File menu at the top of the screen and click on Export.
In the Export window that appears, give your file a name and choose a location to save it. Then, under the File Format drop-down menu, select MP4. This is a widely used video format that will work on most computers and devices. Finally, click on the Export button to save your file.

Adding music to your video clips is a great way to set the mood, enhance the visuals, and make your videos more engaging. However, finding the right music for your project can be a challenge, and paying for licensing can be expensive.
Fortunately, there are a number of ways to add music to your video clips for free. In this article, we’ll show you how to add music to your video clips using three different pieces of free software: Audacity, GarageBand, and Windows Movie Maker.
Audacity is a free and open-source audio editor that can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux. To add music to your video clips using Audacity, you’ll first need to convert the video files into audio files. You can do this by using the “File” > “Export” > “Export as WAV” function in Audacity.
Once you have your audio files, you can import them into Audacity and begin editing them. To add music to your video clip, simply drag and drop the audio file into the track at the point where you want it to start playing.
GarageBand is a free digital audio workstation that comes installed on all new Mac computers. To add music to your video clips using GarageBand, you’ll first need to create a new project by going to “File” > “New” > “Project.”
Next, click on the “+” icon in the track list and select “Import.” Choose the audio file that you want to use as background music for your video clip and click “Open.” The audio file will be imported into GarageBand and added to the track list.
To add the imported audio file to your video clip, simply drag and drop it from the track list onto the timeline at the point where you want it to start playing.

License
Adding music to your video clips can be a great way to set the mood, add interest, or provide background ambiance. However, before you add music to your clips, it’s important to make sure that you have the legal right to use the music.
There are many ways to find music that you can legally use in your video clips. You can purchase royalty-free music, find free music that is licensed for public use, or create your own original music.
Once you’ve found the perfect piece of music, you’ll need to add it to your video project. If you’re using free video editing software like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, this process is usually as simple as importing the file and dragging it into your timeline.
With a little bit of planning and care, you can easily add music to your video clips without running into any legal trouble.
