Add Background Music to Video

Your footage is solid and the voiceover is clean, but the video still feels flat — that's the missing music bed. Upload your own track or pick one from Eliro's royalty-free library, and the AI mixes it under your voice: ducked during speech, looped to your video's length, faded out at the end. No DAW, no keyframing volume by hand.

A Music Bed Without the Mixing Session

Everything between "I found a track" and "this sounds finished," handled for you

Bring Your Own Track icon

Bring Your Own Track

Drop in any MP3, WAV, or AAC you hold the rights to, or browse the royalty-free library by mood and genre. Either way, it sits correctly in the mix.

Ducking That Protects Your Voice icon

Ducking That Protects Your Voice

The AI finds every speech segment and pulls the music down underneath it, then brings it back up in the gaps. Your narration stays clear without you riding a volume fader.

Loops and Fades, Handled icon

Loops and Fades, Handled

Tracks shorter than your video loop without an audible seam. Longer ones fade out cleanly at the end — no song cut off mid-chorus.

Safe for Monetized Channels icon

Safe for Monetized Channels

Every library track is cleared for commercial use, so you can post to a monetized YouTube channel without bracing for a Content ID claim.

How Adding Background Music Works

Upload video and music
Step 1

Drop In Your Video and a Track

Upload your video, then add your own audio file or pick something from the built-in royalty-free library.

Adjust music settings
Step 2

Set the Mix

Choose how loud the music sits, then let auto-ducking balance it against your dialogue. Preview until the blend feels right.

Export video with background music
Step 3

Export the Finished Mix

Download your video with the music layered in — ready for YouTube, TikTok, or wherever it's headed.

Pair Music with the Rest of Your Audio Polish

A music bed works best over clean dialogue and well-placed effects. These tools finish the job.

Layer whooshes, risers, and pops on top of your music bed so transitions actually land.

Scene changes that move with the music instead of cutting against it.
