Add audio to your video
To start open VideoStudio and add your videos, photos, or record your screen to the timeline. To add a soundtrack to your video, you can drag and drop any music file into your library and then on to your timeline. Alternatively, VideoStudio offers a selection of royalty free music, meaning you can use this music freely for both personal and commercial use. To access this library, on the Timeline toolbar, click the Auto Music button. Here you can search and explore a range of different songs and tracks by using the drop-down lists. Press Play to preview the selected music. You can also access the music library in the Library panel, under ScoreFitter music. Alternatively, you can import a soundtrack from your own content files by importing into your library and then adding it to the timeline. ScoreFitter tracks are designed to automatically match the length of your video project. To enable this, be sure that “Auto Trim” is clicked on before you add the track to your timeline.
