Add music to video around your spoken edit
Add music to video using the BlitzCut workflow shown here for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. [1] Import a music or audio file you have permission to use, align it with your recording, and listen to the music alongside the speaker. Free download with paid features. BlitzCut is also available on Android through Google Play.


You have the recording and a music file you want to use. The next job is making them work together: the music should enter at a useful moment, leave room for the explanation, and end deliberately. Moving the speaking cuts after adding music can change that timing, so it helps to settle the spoken edit first.
BlitzCut lets you import your own tracks and layer audio alongside a video. Its App Store description and release notes document audio imports, timeline editing, transcript editing, captions, and image overlays. [1] Start with your supplied tutorial, UGC take, founder explanation, or customer interview. Choose the spoken passages you want, then add music around that finished sequence and listen through the result.
Everything you need, in one app
Import your own music or audio
Bring a supplied track into the project. BlitzCut's official listing confirms importing your own tracks and layering audio. [1] Keep the file and its permission or license details with the rest of your project materials.
A separate music lane on the timeline
See where added music belongs alongside the recording's original audio. Align it with the section you want to accompany and review the entrance and ending in playback, especially if you change the video cuts afterward.
Transcript editing before the soundtrack
Use the recorded words to find and remove an unwanted restart or passage. Listen across the join before timing music to it, so the track follows the version of the message you actually plan to share.
Adjustable silence removal for the speaking edit
Shorten unwanted gaps before adding music. Review the result and preserve pauses needed for a demonstration or a thoughtful answer; changing those gaps later can shift how music lines up with the recording.
Captions and images in the same project
Correct the captions and add a relevant product image or screenshot when it explains the speaker's point. Check that the visual timing still matches the finished speaking edit and the music you have added.
Export settings with a final listening check
The actual export screen shows resolution, quality, and estimated file size. Choose settings for your destination, save the video, and listen from beginning to end to check the combined audio in the file you will share.
How it works
Three steps from raw footage to finished video.
Import your recording and settle the speaking edit
Open BlitzCut and import your chosen video. Remove an unwanted passage through the transcript or trim it on the timeline. If you use adjustable silence removal, review the pauses before deciding where the music belongs.
Bring in your own music and align it
Import a music or audio file you have permission to use. Position it against the part of the recording it should accompany. Play the opening, a spoken section, and a transition to check how the music and original sound meet.
Listen for clear speech and review the export
Check the quietest sentence on headphones and a device speaker. Choose a less busy or quieter source track if the words are difficult to follow. Review the first word, last word, and music ending, then export and play the saved file.

Actual BlitzCut timeline: the original audio is visible beneath the video, with a separate music lane below. The music lane is empty in this screenshot; use it to orient yourself before importing your own track.

Built for creators like you
Talking-head tutorials
Add a restrained music track around a recorded explanation or demonstration. Keep the softest instructions easy to follow and leave enough time for the viewer to understand each action.
UGC and founder product videos
Work with the creator footage or founder recording you already have. Settle the hook, demonstration, and closing line, then align your permissioned music and any product images with that sequence.
Customer testimonials
Start with a customer excerpt you have permission to use. Preserve the meaning of the answer and choose unobtrusive music so the customer's own words remain easy to hear. Review captions for names, product terms, and numbers.

Frequently asked questions
- Is BlitzCut available on Android?
- Yes. BlitzCut is built for talking-head videos and is now available on Android through Google Play. The workflows and screenshots on this page describe the Apple apps. Check Google Play and the Android app for current Android features, device compatibility, and purchase options.
- How do I add music to video in BlitzCut?
- Import your recording into the installed app and finish the main speaking cuts. Import your own music file, align it with the section it should accompany, and listen to it with the original sound. Check both ends of the edit before exporting. The official listing documents importing and layering your own audio. [1]
- Can I keep the original voice when I add music?
- Yes. Add your music alongside the recording's existing audio. Listen to a quiet sentence and the transitions between speech and demonstrations. The original voice should remain understandable wherever you intend it to carry the explanation.
- How do I keep the music from covering the speaker?
- Choose a restrained track and compare it against a representative spoken section. Instrumental music with fewer competing sounds can be easier to place beneath an explanation. If you struggle to understand the words, try a quieter source file or a less busy track. Check on headphones and a device speaker before sharing.
- Can I use a song I bought as background music?
- Choose music you created or have permission to use for the intended video. YouTube explains that buying a song or crediting its creator does not itself give you the right to upload it within your video. [2] Check the track's license or permission terms for your planned use and keep those details with the project.

- Is BlitzCut free to download?
