You can easily learn how to make a video with music using any video editing software. Before showing you the steps how to do so, let us first learn some theories about audio used in videos.

Let me share to you two kinds of sound that can be used in video making:

1. Natural Sound

Natural sound is simply the sound that was captured together with the video. When you shoot a person talking, the words that he is saying including all the background noise that we hear is the natural sound.

2. Sound Effects

These are the artificial sounds made to add some emphasis in a video clip during the editing.

3. Background Music

This is an additional sound added to a natural sound.

4. Music Video

This is the video without any natural sound. The sound is just a music that matches what is being shown in the video.

Alright, now that we learned those basic kinds of audio, it will be easier for us to make a video with music. You can do this with any video editing software that you have. I know even the simplest video editing software has a timeline and you have the chance to place the video and audio tracks. Let us then learn how to make a video with music in an output like what I discussed earlier.

Achieving Natural Sound

Well, this is easy because you don't have to do anything. All you have to do is grab the video with the audio in the timeline and that's it!

Having A Background Music and Sound Effects

In doing this, all you have to do is let the natural music volume go adding the background music with a lower volume. Background music will just add more feeling to the natural sound and it must not replace it. Sound Effects on the other hand can show some impact like what we see in horror movies. In also adds some fun in comedy videos.

Music Video

In making a music video, you must drag a videos in the timeline without the audio or natural sound. In some video editing softwares, all you have to do is unlink the video and audio then delete the audio. You can then add any music in the audio track in the timeline to match the video. Just a simple tip here, you must place the video cuts in the beat of the song.

So that's the way on how to make a video with music in different situations. I'm sure you can now make a video with music in your video editing using any software you have.
