Attach and edit an audio file to an MP4 file in just a few clicks. Edit videos and add your voiceover, music, or whatever audio in just a few minutes — all for free, with Descript.
Adding MP3 audio to your MP4 video clip is MPsimple. Follow this step-by-step process to add music, voiceover, or other sound effects to your clip.
Drag and drop your MP4 video file into a project in Descript’s video editor. Wait a few seconds while Descript automatically transcribes any spoken audio in your video. Then make your edits by changing the transcript just like you would a Word doc — Descript will edit the corresponding audio and video for you.
Select the audio (music track, voiceover, background music, etc.) that you want to add to your clip and drag it to the place in the transcript where you want it to play. Then adjust the time or volume it plays by clicking on the audio in the timeline. If it’s voiceover narration, Descript will transcribe that too, and you can edit the audio by editing the text in the transcript.
Export your clip with its new audio as an MP4 video. You can export directly to YouTube in a few clicks, or save it on your computer to upload to Instagram, TikTok, or wherever you want to share it.
