Supported Formats

Before we get into the details of adding music to Kinemaster, let’s take a look at the supported formats. The import image formats include PNC, WebP, JPEG, BMP, and GIF (with still images). The video formats include MP4, MOV, and 3GP.

Finally, the supported audio formats include WAV, AAC, M4A, and of course, MP3. If you have installed the Kinemaster app, you are nearly ready to add music to your videos.

First, you will need to get some free music files. You can add a file in any of the supported audio formats from your device (tablet or phone). If you don’t have any tracks you’d like to add to Kinemaster, don’t worry. You can use some free music sources, such as Soundcloud and YouTube creator studio.

Where to Get Free Music?

Soundcloud is a popular music platform, and you’re possibly already using it. Many great artists, including bands, DJs, and composers, add their music to Soundcloud. Since artists upload their music for free, they usually have some terms of use for their music. It’s wise to read through the rules and abide by them unless you want to get sued.

YouTube creator studio also provides excellent free music which you can use without having to worry about copyright issues. Since their clips are free, they usually require you to credit the artist, which is only fair. Some artists also demand contributions to use their music.

How to Add Music

Assuming that you’ve installed the latest version of the Kinemaster app, and have some great music on your Android device, you’re nearly ready. The only thing that’s left is to have a video already recorded on your device. You can also use an image if you only want to test this feature.

Now that you’re ready, here is how to add music in Kinemaster:

Open Kinemaster and load the video file you have in mind.
Tap on the Audio button, located in the media panel to the right.
Select the Add(+) button to choose a music file you want to add.
Now you can export your video using the button with a square and an arrow or use the back arrow to save your video in the app.

You can edit the audio file to your liking. There are a bunch of available filters, compression, etc. You can also loop music files or set them to play in the background.

That wasn’t so hard, was it? Additionally, you can record audio with Kinemaster if you’d like to add a personal touch to your recordings.

How to Record Audio

Recording audio in Kinemaster is simple. Follow the steps to do it:

Open Kinemaster on your device.
Tap on the Voice option in the media panel located at the right.
Press the Start button. You have to allow Kinemaster to record audio on your device for this option to work.
Stop the recording when you are done, and Kinemaster will save your audio recording.

The record feature is great for vloggers or people who want to add a short message to their video in Kinemaster. If you are a musician or a singer, it is probably better to use some other software for your recordings.
