Add and manage music in your video

Add music from Biteable's royalty-free library or upload your own tracks, then trim, time, and mix them — all from the music layer at the bottom of your timeline.

Add, replace, or upload music

Add a track: with no existing track selected, click the Soundtrack (music) button to open the music library, then click the plus icon on a track. You can add multiple tracks — new tracks adjust existing ones so everything fits, or land at the end if you've customized durations.
Replace a track: select your existing track first, then open the music library — tracks now show a replace icon instead, and clicking one swaps it into your project.
Upload your own: choose the Uploads tab when adding or replacing music. MP3 works best (WAV and M4A also supported, up to 250 MB).

Timing, trimming, and looping

By default a track stays connected to the full length of your video: shorter tracks loop (with a brief pause between repeats), and the music always fills the video.
Once you manually adjust a track's start or duration, it disconnects from the video length — extending your video won't extend the music. Drag the end handle to lengthen it, or delete the track and re-add it to restore auto-fit.
Trim or move: select the track, drag the handles at either end to trim, or drag the whole track to reposition it.

Volume, fades, and removing a track

Select the music track and use the properties panel to the right of the canvas: volume slider, fade in/out, or remove the track. To delete an uploaded audio file from your account, open the music panel's Uploads tab and click the trash icon next to the track.

Music fading in and out on its own? (auto-ducking)

When a scene contains audio — a voiceover or an uploaded clip with sound — Biteable automatically lowers your soundtrack volume so the speech can be heard. If your music dips unexpectedly, the scene probably contains audio you didn't notice (often a near-silent uploaded clip).

To keep the soundtrack level steady: select the scene, select the video or voiceover element on it, open the volume controls on the right, and untick Lower soundtrack volume. To eliminate ducking entirely, mute the clip's own audio.

A second audio layer

The voiceover layer accepts any audio (narration, sound effects, extra music) and its clips can overlap — see Add, record, and adjust voiceovers.

Finding more music

Every track in the Biteable library is licensed for commercial use — see Music copyright claims if a platform ever flags one. If you want to source your own royalty-free tracks to upload, good options include FreePD (completely free, CC0), Incompetech (free with attribution), and AudioJungle (paid, ~$10–15 per track).
