how to add music to a video

To add music to a video, the general steps involve these actions:

1. Upload the video to a video editing platform or software.
2. Import or upload the music or audio track you want to add.
3. Place the music on the timeline where you want it to start.
4. Adjust the duration, volume, and fade effects of the music as needed.
5. Preview the video with the added music to ensure it syncs well.
6. Export or save the final video as a single file with the added music.

There are many tools available for this, including online platforms like Riverside, Adobe Express, and VEED, which allow easy drag-and-drop addition of music, adjusting timing and volume, and even selecting from stock royalty-free music libraries. Some video editors like iMovie or Canva also offer similar features for adding music to videos. Additionally, YouTube Studio has built-in options to add licensed music tracks to uploaded videos directly through its editor. Each tool may have slightly different steps, but the core process remains consistent: upload video, add/import music, position and edit the audio track on the timeline, then export the final combined video.
