Add Background Music to Video
Import a music track and place it under tutorials, product demos, social clips, training videos, or event videos.
Put the Right Soundtrack Under Your Video
Music changes how a video feels. It can make a tutorial less silent, give a product demo more rhythm, support a short social clip, or make a family and event video feel more complete. The important part is not only adding an audio file, but placing it at the right time and keeping the final sound comfortable.
GiliSoft Video Editor helps Windows users add music to video, adjust volume, mute or keep original sound, add voiceover-style audio, preview the result, and export a finished video in practical formats. Use it when your video needs simple audio polish along with trimming, joining, subtitles, watermarks, or other everyday edits.
For more advanced Windows editing, see Video Editor Pro. If the audio file itself needs cutting or cleanup before import, see Audio Editor.

Add Music to Video FAQ
Can I mute the original video audio?

Can I add music only to part of a video?
