  • If the audio and video's length, volume, and overall quality are satisfactory to you, click "Done."

How to add music to video on Windows

Windows don't have a built-in video editing program like Mac does. Therefore, choosing a desktop editor compatible with Windows, such as Adobe Premiere Rush, is your best option if you use Windows.

Using Adobe Premiere Rush on your Windows computer, follow these steps to add music to your videos:

  • Install Adobe Premiere Rush on your Windows laptop or computer by downloading it.
  • Bring in the video you want to have music added to.
  • When the prompt appears, select "media" by clicking the "Add Media" button or the "+" icon in the top left corner of your screen.
  • Select the location of your music from the dropdown menu in the media browser.
  • Drag and drop the music you want to include in the project schedule.
  • Use the slider to have the music last as long as the video.

When you're finished, export the video and save it in the location of your choice.
