Adding or uploading audio or music to your video
The right soundtrack can make or break a video project. That's why Biteable offers a library of royalty-free music and premium soundtracks for you to choose from, plus the option to upload your own audio files. Here's how to add audio to your projects.
To add one of our tracks to your project, follow the below instructions:
Click on the music note icon at the bottom left of your timeline .
A library pop-up will appear — click on the play button to hear a preview. Use the drop-down menus to filter by genre or length.
Select the soundtrack you'd like to use by clicking the circle to the left of that track.
Click Save.
Simple as that! Your project will now play with the selected audio background. The track will play according to the length of the project. If the duration of the audio is shorter than the video, it will automatically loop.
Pro tip: The soundwaves on the bottom of your Timeline represents the audio you choose, so you can edit your video to match the music! Place your most important message on the beat drop and you've got a recipe for a memorable video.
If you have something specific in mind, you can also upload your own audio. Here are the requirements of the files we support:
We support .wav and .mp3 files only
Below 250MB in size
Once you know your file is good to go, here's what to do.
Click on the music note icon at the bottom left of your timeline
A pop-up will appear. Click Uploads to shift away from the Library.
Drag and drop your audio file to upload it or select from your uploaded files.
Click Save.
If you'd like to upload audio tracks in bulk, or not to a specific video project, you can also upload audio via your asset library.
Open your asset library — choose between your personal asset library or your shared teams asset library
Hit the "Upload media" button and select the audio track/s you'd like to upload
These files will now be available in your uploads folder when within a project. To add to your video, click the music note icon at the bottom left of your timeline, then toggle to "Uploads" to find your pre-uploaded audio.
Pro tip #2: The soundtrack volume in a video will automatically decrease when audio is detected from a voiceover or a video clip that includes audio. Watch this video for an example of how soundtrack auto-ducking works.
You can also add a second audio track, or a Voice-over, to your videos. Find out more about Voice-over here.
