Overview
Selecting the right background music is a great way to set the tone of your video and make your message more memorable. You can choose a track from the stock music library (30,000+ tracks in a wide range of genres and moods) or upload your own custom track.
By default, videos started from scratch do not include background music. Videos started using a prebuilt video selected from the Inspiration Gallery or with the AI Copilot do include music.
Here are the key points to know when adding music:
| 1. | A music track is added to the entire video, not to individual scenes. |
| 2. | If the video is longer than the selected track, the music loops with a short gap between loops. For longer videos, we recommend choosing a track with a longer duration. |
| 3. | After adding a music track, you can adjust its volume. See Adjusting Audio Levels to learn more. |
Selecting Music from the Stock Library
| 1. | Open the relevant video in the Studio. |
| 2. | Select Music in the sidebar. |
| 3. | On the left side of the page, select Stock music. |
| The stock music library opens. Each track includes tags that describe its mood and genre. | |
| 4. | Browse the library and preview any track by clicking the play button next to it. ▶ The audio watermark you hear during preview is not included when the track is added to your video. ▶ For tips on finding a track, see Tips for Searching. |
| 5. | After choosing a track, click the radio button in its row and then click Save at the bottom of the page. |
| The music is added to the video. |
Tips for Searching
| 1. | Click a filter at the top of the page to find tracks that match a popular mood or genre. |
| 2. | At the top of the page, use the Track duration filter to search for tracks by minimum or maximum duration (in seconds or minutes). |

| 4. | In the upper-right of the page is a search bar. You can type a mood, genre, or the name of a track (if you know it) to find matching music. |
| 5. | You can also use our AI-powered recommendation system to find tracks that match the mood of your video. |
