Musik zum Video hinzufügen

You can add background music to your videos on any video editor. Just make sure your music doesn’t overpower your original audio.If you’re using Riverside, follow these steps:

1. Start by uploading your video to Riverside’s editor.
2. Import your own music or sound file, or select a track from our license-free library.
3. Drag and drop the music onto the timeline and align it with your video.
4. Use the volume controls to ensure the music complements the original audio without overpowering it.
5. Finish editing with captions, text, and audio enhancements. Then, export your final video.

The quick way to do this is to record your background music live while you’re recording your video. You can do this with most video recording apps.

We don’t recommend it because you’ll find it hard to level the music against any other video audio. Your best route is to record your music separately and add it to your video afterwards. You can do this after recording.

If you’re using a platform like Riverside, you can do this live without worrying about sound levels or poor quality audio.

Use Riverside’s Media Board to add background music and sound effects while recording. Everything saves on a separate track so you can easily adjust volumes and audio in post-production.

Many video editing platforms, like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok allow you to add music to a video.

For more detailed edits, use a free video editor like Riverside. Riverside’s free plan gives you access to all our professional-grade editing tools.

You can add music, captions, and more! And if you record with Riverside, you’ll get it all in the highest quality audio and video.

If you are making a video for personal use, such a slideshow for a family gathering, you can use any music you want.

If you plan to post your video publicly, you must be careful not to use copyrighted music. Using copyrighted music without proper authorization can lead to legal issues, content removal, demonetization, or account penalties on platforms like YouTube.To avoid these complications, you can:

• Use platform-specific audio libraries. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok have their own music libraries that you are free to use on videos on those platforms.
• Produce your own tracks. If you have the skills, you can produce original music for your videos.
• License and pay for the music you use. You can pay a licensing fee for commercial use of music in a video, often through a music licensing company.
• Use license-free or stock music. This type of music can be used without paying ongoing royalties. Some tracks are free, while others may require a one-time payment or subscription.

If you edit your videos with Riverside, you can gain access to our library of license-free music, right inside the platform - for free. This allows you to easily add music to your videos without running into copyright issues.

Choosing the right music for your video can set the tone and influence your viewers’ emotional response to your content.

We recommend that you:

• Define the purpose and tone of your video. Think about what emotional atmosphere you want to create. Your music should align with and enhance that. Your music should also match the video’s content and style.
• Consider your target audience. Understand your target audience and choose music that is likely to resonate with them. This can increase engagement and relatability.
• Evaluate the role. Consider whether your music will serve as background support or be a foreground element in your video. Remember that background music in particular, shouldn’t draw too much attention to itself.

We recommend that you test multiple options to help you find the best fit.

In the Riverside editor, you can sort music by genres, which helps you narrow down your options.

Adding and removing tracks is super easy, so you spend your time finding what works best – not trying to figure out how things work.
