Way more than background music

With our video editor, you've got so many easy ways to pump up the tunes! Build a mood with background music, set the perfect fade-in and fade-out, and boost audio volume for max effect.

It's not all audio, either. Polish up your video online with motion titles, transitions, animations & more.

How to add audio in video

Start a new project in the WeVideo app or online video editor. Or start with a video template instead!

Upload a new audio or video file from your device or choose a song, soundtrack, or sound effect from our stock library. Then drag and drop your clips to the Timeline to get started editing.

Time to add music! Click into the Audio submenu to find an audio track for any mood: sad, happy, playful, relaxing...anything. (Audio tracks are categorized by mood to help ya out.) 

If the sound or background music is shorter than your video, auto-loop the audio for an easy end-to-end solution.

After adding music in our app or video editing software, you can continue editing to add transitions, text, annotations, and more. Just drag any feature down to your Timeline.

When you're done, choose your preferred video resolution and export your new video with music. Done!

From our customers

"WeVideo gives us the ability to scale our video offerings without extensive staff training or design experience. For example, a social media manager is empowered to create simple videos using the templates we establish in the system, and this allows more people within the agency to be video creators."

David Tisdale Marketing Director, Vx Group

"As an avid content creator, I have tried numerous video editing tools, but none have come close to the versatility, user-friendliness, and feature-richness that WeVideo offers. A standout feature of WeVideo is its collaborative capabilities. WeVideo's real-time collaboration feature allows multiple users to edit a project simultaneously. This collaborative environment promotes seamless communication, enhances productivity, and streamlines the entire editing workflow."

"We needed a tool that would be straightforward and suit everyone, regardless of their technical expertise or hardware. The biggest benefit we’ve seen implementing WeVideo is now hundreds of reporters are editing video that previously were unable to. By expanding our video production capabilities even further, we hope to grow our 50% share of digital news subscriptions of Norwegian households."

"The video content I’ve created with WeVideo has added credibility to my work and has helped me scale my business. It has completely freed up my time so that I’m able to take on more. I went from having the capacity to service five clients at one time to 25 clients."

"I teach with projects, and WeVideo is an excellent platform for students to work collaboratively on video projects. While most teens have some ideas about video from their cell phones, [WeVideo] takes their creativity and skills to a whole new level, allowing them to find their voice in new and exciting ways."

Frequently asked questions

You're in the right place! There are plenty of online tools and video editing apps out there, but we're partial to WeVideo (naturally). Just upload your video file, add music from your device or our library, and then export your project in your preferred size and resolution. 

Absolutely! WeVideo's free plan gives you access to all our app's key features, including a selection of free sound effects and background music options. To access the full stock library (and to remove the watermark from published videos), upgrade to a paid plan.

Not sure we've got the right music for you? You can give it a try with a free trial to find out.

Easy! With WeVideo, once you've uploaded your media clips:

  1. Drag media elements to the Timeline in your preferred order
  2. Find the Audio submenu to select the right tunes
  3. That's it!

Edit to your liking with additional video overlays, transitions, slow motion (or fast motion), and more. When you're ready, export and share!

WeVideo supports the following audio files: AIF, MP3, M4A, OGG, WAV, and WMA.

Our video maker supports the following video files: 3GP, 3GPP, AVI, DIVX, DV, FLV, M4V, MJPEG, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, M2TS, MTS, MXF, OGV, WEBM, and WMV. 

When it comes to saving your video, you can export your clip with sound however you want it: MP4, GIF, or even audio-only MP3. Choose the right video resolution, too, so that your file is well-sized to upload anywhere.

With our video editor, yes! Simply upload all your media clips to your video project and then drag them to your Timeline. You can place clips on individual tracks (allowing you to layer them), or you can place them on the same track and then merge them with transitions.

Definitely! However, do be aware of copyright laws in your region. Most social media platforms will remove videos that use copyrighted music without explicit and obvious permission.

The safest way to avoid these issues is to use royalty-free music clips or your own personal audio file — both of which are easy to do in WeVideo.
