3 Add background music

Drag the videos from the media library into the timeline panel. The video and audio will be displayed separately in the video and audio line. Now what you have to do is to import a song and drop it onto the music track in the timeline. After your song is in place, you can trim and adjust the song so that it is the same length as the video. Also you should adjust the volume so it doesn't drown out the original audio of your video.
