Working with music tracks
Enhance your videos by working with music tracks in Biteable. This guide will show you how to add, adjust, and time your music for professional-quality audio.
Common Questions
How do you keep audio synced to your video?
How do you shorten the audio to match your video length?
How do you extend the audio to match a longer video?
Can you have two different music tracks on the same project?
How do I add multiple songs to a video?
Can I add a second music track to a video?
How do I make a music track loop?
When you're working with Music Tracks In Biteable, the default setting is for the any added music in the music audio layer to stay connected to the full length of the video. That means the music will loop if it is shorter than the full duration of your video project and fill the entire video. When you edit the duration of the music track by adjusting it's start position or shortening it's duration manually, it is no longer connected to the video. So if you extend the video, the music track is not automatically extended. However, you can easily extend it by dragging the end of the track to the desired length. If you have adjusted the music track, but want the music to loop, follow the instructions below.
If you would prefer for Biteable to automatically determine the length of the audio track to match the video, do the following:
Delete the soundtrack from the timeline (read this article if you don’t know how to do this already)
Add the soundtrack back to your timeline
Our music library can only be accessed in the music layer (the bottom audio layer), and only one track can be added to that audio layer. But, you can add multiple uploaded audio files (we recommend mp3 files) to the voiceover layer. Those can be voiceovers, music, or any other type of audio.
If you want to add multiple soundtracks from the Biteable library, let us know which track you want to add and we can look and see if we have a copy of the track that we can add into your voiceover layer so that you can have multiple songs in the same video.
Keep in mind that not all tracks are going to be the same length or longer than your video. If you choose a soundtrack from the Premium library that is 10 minutes long, it should fit your entire video.
Basic tracks are not necessarily 10 minutes long. If you select a track that is shorter than your video, the music will repeat from the beginning. There will be a pause between the end of the track and when it repeats.
