How To Add Music In Canva Video - Full Guide

Introduction

Adding music to your Canva project can greatly enhance your video’s appeal and effectiveness. In this guide, we will cover how to incorporate audio using Canva’s built-in library and how to use your own music files from your computer.

Step 1: Open Your Canva Project

To get started, open your Canva project where you wish to add music.

Step 2: Using Canva's Audio Library

1. Access Elements: On the left side of your screen, click on the "Elements" tab.
2. Select Music: At the top of the Elements section, choose "Music" or use the search function to find it.
3. Explore Audio: Scroll down until you see the “Audio” section. Click on "See all" to access the available options.
4. Choose Your Audio: Here, you can browse through tracks. If you're a Canva Pro user, you will have access to a larger selection of music tracks. If you're using the free version, remember to filter for free options, as the selection may be limited.
5. Preview Tracks: Click on the cover of any track to preview it.
6. Add Music to Your Project: If you find a track you like, click and hold it, then drag and drop it into your project. You can adjust the position and change the start and end points of the audio as needed.
7. Adjust Audio Settings: At the top, you'll find options to adjust the audio, including volume control. This is particularly useful if you need to maintain audio balance with voiceovers. You can also set fade options and beat syncing for a more polished finish.

Step 3: Uploading Your Own Music

If you prefer to use music from your own collection, follow these steps:

1. Go to Uploads: Click on the "Uploads" tab on the left.
2. Upload Your Audio: Click on "Upload files" to add your own music from your computer.
3. Drag and Drop: Once your audio file is uploaded, it will appear in the uploads section under audio. Click and hold the file, then drag and drop it into your project area, just as you did with the library music tracks.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can effectively add music to your Canva videos, whether using Canva’s extensive audio library or your own music collection. Enhancing your videos with the right audio can make your project more engaging and enjoyable for viewers.
