What’s a movie without a soundtrack?

Once you’ve assembled the elements of your home movie on the storyboard, you’re ready to add music. Here’s how:

1. In the Tasks Pane, click Import audio or music (or click on File menu, then Import into collections)

2. Your My Music folder will open. Navigate to the song that you want and click on it, then click the Import button in the lower right-hand corner. This will bring your music clip into your collection.

3. Click on the Show Timeline button above the storyboard, or use the View drop-down menu and click on Timeline

4. Drag the audio file down to the Audio/Music track

5. You can move the audio clip left to right to coincide with a particular video clip. And if the music is too long for your video, you can trim it. Simply scroll along the Timeline all the way to the right, so you can see the end of the audio clip. Move the cursor onto the end of the song, and a red double arrow will appear. Drag the clip to the left as far as you want to create the end point of the music.
