Windows Movie Maker: Add Music To Video

Digital media is just about everywhere. Video and music production have created it to the grass roots level thanks to the availability and prevalent use of PCs and reliable software programs for music or video production these days.

It has become very easy to edit your own videos, and there are many software programs available now that can be used by both a beginner and an advanced user. The Windows OS for instance has its very own video editing tool called Windows Movie Maker that lets you make professional-looking videos.

As you look into this new world, you will invariably think of the need to edit the audio part of your video file. The quality of sound in most video cameras is just not that great, so you need to replace the sound with voice-overs or music and even process the sound to make it better.

It is really simple to separate the audio from the video. Free software tools which do this task include VirtualDub (if you are dealing with AVI files) and Windows Media Encoder (if you are dealing with WMV video files). Both of these software programs, and many others, let you save the audio part of video file easily and quickly.

When you have your audio file, you could process it for bringing up the volume, adding music, noise reduction or for carrying out any electronic digital magic to it that you want.

However it is nto necessary to separate the audio file from the video file because there are a lot of video editing tools today which have built-in features for dealing with audio enhancements. Even plain tools such as Windows Movie Maker have standard audio editing features, and you may add separate music or perhaps voice tracks and blend them all together through it.

If you have a certain audio that you want to use in your video (perhaps a particular effect or a voice over which you have recorded previously) just add that file to the media list then you can include it easily in your video.

The audio file may be placed anywhere on the timeline, and you can also use the same file several times without needing any extra storage space on your PC. For accurate positioning, zoom all the way to your timeline and insert the audio precisely in sync with the video.
