Adding background music to your explainer videos can transform how your audience experiences your message. It keeps viewers engaged, makes transitions smoother, and gives your content a more professional and polished sound. Below, you’ll learn how to use the Audio panel and all its features to add the perfect background track.
Why Background Music Matters
Music keeps the audience’s attention by breaking monotony and adding rhythm. It prevents videos from feeling “flat” or overly instructional and makes the experience more dynamic — helping people watch longer and remember more. It also fills in silent moments and masks awkward pauses, resulting in a cleaner, more professional sound.
The Audio Panel Overview
In the video toolbar, navigate to Audio to access all sound-related settings for your video. Here, you can manage both AI narration and background music.
AI Voice
This section lets you choose between female and male AI voices for your narration. You can preview and switch voice options to match your video’s tone and style.
Background Audio
This panel controls all aspects of your background music.
The Play background mucis toggle is switch on by default. Turn it off to remove background music from your video.
Volume relative to narration
Use this slider to balance how loud the background music is compared to the voiceover.
For most tutorial and explainer videos, a subtle background volume works best, keeping the narration clear and easy to follow.
Music selection
Below the volume control, you’ll find a curated list of royalty-free background tracks.
Click the play icon beside each title to preview the track, then select your favorite to apply it to your video.
By using these audio tools, your explainer video will not only sound more engaging and professional, but also leave a lasting impression on your audience.
