Why Add Music and Sound Effects?

Music can change how people feel about your video. Happy music makes people feel good. Sad music can make them feel emotional. Sound effects are also important. They can make your video more exciting. For example, you might want to add a sound of laughter or applause. This helps your viewers enjoy your video more.

Importing Your Video

Next, you need to add the video you want to edit. You can choose a video from your phone's gallery. To do this, tap on the "Media" option. Find the video you want and select it. Your video will appear on the editing screen.

Adding Music to Your Video

1. Find the Music Option: Look for the "Audio" option at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to see different music choices.

3. Preview the Music: Before adding the music, you can listen to it. Tap the play button to hear it. If you like it, tap the “Add” button to include it in your video.
4. Adjust the Music: After adding the music, you can change its length. If the music is too long, you can cut it. To do this, tap on the music track. Then, you will see options to trim or split the music.
5. Change the Volume: You can also adjust how loud the music is. Tap on the music track again. Look for the volume option and slide it left or right. Make sure the music is not too loud. You still want to hear your voice if you are talking in the video.

Adding Sound Effects

Sound effects can make your video more exciting. Here is how you can add them:

1. Go Back to the Audio Option: Tap the "Audio" option again. This time, look for the "Effects" section.
2. Choose Your Sound Effects: You will see many sound effects. There are sounds like laughter, applause, or even nature sounds. Browse through the list and find the ones you like.

4. Position the Sound Effects: You can place the sound effects where you want them in the video. Drag the sound effect track to the right spot. For example, if you want laughter when something funny happens, place it right after that moment.
5. Adjust the Volume: Don’t forget to adjust the volume of the sound effects. You can do this the same way as you did for the music.

Final Touches

After adding music and sound effects, it’s time to check your video. Tap the play button to watch it. Make sure the music and effects sound good together. If something feels off, you can go back and make changes. You can adjust the volume or move the sound effects around until it feels right.
