Add music and keep your voice clear

Add a track and turn your clip's sound down under it.

Steps

1. Select Audio to open the sound tools.

   

2. Select Music or a sound to add a track at the playhead.

   

3. Switch on Turn your clip’s sound down under it so your voice stays clear.

   

4. Go back to Audio and select Mixer to balance the music against your voice.

   

If something goes wrong

• Pick the track's block on the timeline to change it. Its own panel has the volume and the switch.
• A long track runs past the end of your clip, so the last part isn't heard. Drag its block or trim its edge.
• Sounds you add show up in Mixer next to your clip's own sound, each with its own level.
