Add Audio and Video Files to VideMake Video Editor

Open VideMake Video Editor on your computer, then import the audio and your video footage to the media box. Or you can directly drag them to the timeline.

Adjust the Audio

Once the audio and the video footage are added to the timeline, click on the audio so that you can adjust it. Head over to the upper right panel, you can adjust the volume of the audio clip. And you can fade in and fade out the video by dragging the markers, or you can directly type in the fade in and out duration.

If your audio contains a lot of background noise, you can use the Denoise feature to filter out the noise from the background to make the audio clearer. Also the VideMake Video Editor offers a built-in equalizer with 5 presets to adjust the frequency of the audio.

To add multiple audios to the video, simply add more music, sound effects or voiceovers to the timeline.

Match the Audio with Your Video

On the timeline, you can hover your mouse over the start or the end of the audio to adjust the length of it. Or if you want to trim your audio track into several parts, click on the audio track on the timeline and move the playhead to the time point you want to cut. Then right-click on the audio and click Split. You can then drag the smaller clips of the audio to match your video.

If you have added multiple audio tracks to the video, you can adjust the duration of each track to make them fit into the video. Also you can adjust the volume of each track to make them sound good when they play together.

Export Video

Once done editing your text, click the Export button on the middle left and export your video. Click the Settings, you'll be able to choose the output parameters. And by clicking the Change button, you can change the output location.
