Adding background music to your video is one of the easiest ways to make it more engaging. Whether you are creating a vlog, a music video, or a promotional clip, the right soundtrack sets the mood and keeps viewers watching.

However, if you don't do it correctly, you risk getting a copyright strike on YouTube or having your video muted. In this guide, we will show you how to add background music safely and professionally using our free online tool.

Step 1: Choose Copyright-Free Music

Before you even open a video editor, you need to find the right audio. Do not just download any song from the internet. Instead, use royalty-free music libraries like the YouTube Audio Library, Epidemic Sound, or Pixabay Music. These platforms provide tracks that you are legally allowed to use.

Step 2: Upload Your Files

Once you have your video clips and your audio track ready, head over to our AI Video Scene Mixer Pro. You can drag and drop up to 10 video files and upload your MP3 or WAV audio file.

Step 3: Choose Your Audio Mode

This is where our tool shines. Depending on your needs, you can choose:

• Replace: Completely removes the original video audio and replaces it with your music.
• Mix: Keeps the original audio (like people talking) but adds your music as a background layer. You can adjust the volume slider so the music doesn't overpower the voices.
• Keep Original: If you only want to apply video effects and keep the original sound.

Step 4: Process and Download

Click "Start Processing." Our system will mix your video and audio seamlessly. Once it's done, download your final video. Remember, our system automatically deletes your files within 24 hours for your privacy, so download it immediately!
