Substitute the soundtrack of a video
You have a video and you want to replace the soundtrack with one of your creation for any personal reasons :
Make l use the Windows Movie Maker (it comes with Windows, if this is not the case you can download it here: Windows Movie Maker).
We will proceed in four steps:
- 1 - Import Video
- 2 - Remove the sound of the video
- 3 - Create / Add new audio track
- 4 - Save Video
Import Video
First, run Windows Movie Maker.
Generally, it is found in Start Menu / All Programs / Accessories but it depends on your version of Windows.
- Start by importing the video. To do this, click on "Import Media" (or directly on the tab "Video").
- Now the video is present in the imported media.
- We will drag in the track "Video."
Remove the sound of the video
- We will open the "Video" to show the audio track.
- Now do a right click in the audio track of the video and select the "Mute".
Create / Add new audio track
To record your voice if you want to insert in the video, you can use:
- The recorder software of Windows (usually it is in Start Menu / All Programs / Accessories)
- Or an audio editing software like Audacity.
- You save the result in either mp3 or WMA, for Windows Movie Maker compatibility.
- Just as you opened the video, you will open the new audio track.
- Once the files are imported, it will drag in the audio track but this time not of the video, but below ( "Audio / Music").
- Just click on "Publish to" This Computer "
