How to add one or more audios to videos with the Windows Video Editor, with Shotcut and with Openshot and how to adjust the volume of each audio file
The formats in which videos are saved are almost always gods
container formats common video codec it is a
audio codec which respectively encode the video and the sound of the video itself. If we take the example of the most common container file, which isMP4, the video codec is H.264 or
H.265 while the audio codec is AAC. The codecs used in a given video can be discovered by importing it into
VLC media player
and continuing Training.
The separation of the visual part from the sound part is, therefore, quite natural and we have already seen how to proceed in this sense with
Shotcut, Openshot
AND
da vinci resolves. It's just as simple mute the audio for a video with
Photos, VLC, Openshot, Shotcut and DaVinci Resolve. The operation to add sound for a video is supported by all video editors, even the most minimalist ones. In this post we will see how you can add sound to a video with the simplest programs like shotcut AND open shot but also without programs, taking advantage of the
Windows native video editor. In addition to how to add a single audio we will also see how
add more than one, on different tracks, and possibly how to mix the respective volumes.
You can start from a video without sound, or even one with sound, for which the sound was previously removed with one of the methods explained in the articles linked above. With all three procedures I'm going to illustrate, in addition to adding a single audio file, you can add more sounds and adjust their respective volumes.
