2. Import Video and Music
Click the Add File(s) button in the main toolbar and select the video and music files to import into the VideoPad file bin. You can also drag and drop your music and video files into VideoPad.
To record a voiceover, navigate to the Audio tab in the main toolbar and select the Record button to view the recording audio options. To add sound effects, select the Add Stock Sound music library option to download royalty-free sound and music clips.
3. Add Video to Timeline
In the File bin section, select the video file and drag it into the sequence timeline below. This can also be done by right-clicking the video clip and selecting Place Clip on Sequence. Add as many videos to the timeline as you need in the desired order.
4. Add Music to Video
Similar to the previous step, in the file bin, select the music file and drag it into the sequence timeline below. The audio track will be displayed under the video timeline. To mix or have multiple music tracks playing with the video, select the additional music file and drag it to the Audio Track 2 timeline.
5. Adjust and Edit Music
To trim the music file to match the video length, hover to the ends of the audio track and drag the music clip left or right accordingly to trim it. Alternatively, in the clip preview panel, use the red and blue Set Start and Set End buttons to trim the music by dragging the bracket symbols or changing the timestamps.
To split the music file, move the red cursor to the point where you would like to split the music and click the Split button or right-click and select Split Selected Clips.
6. Add Audio Effects
Select the audio track in the timeline and navigate to the Audio tab in the main toolbar and click on the Audio Effects button. Amplify the volume level, adjust the fade-in or fade-out length, change the speed, remove background noise, add an echo effect, and more.
7. Export Video
Once you have finished editing the rest of the video, click Export Video from the toolbar and select one of the many export options and output formats to save your new video with music.
