More on InstagramTo add music to a video on iPhone with Vyra, add your footage and a music track to the project, then set the track below your speech. Ask chat where the music should start, become quieter and end. Play the result on your phone before exporting.
The music can sound fine during a silent shot and still hide every other word when you start talking. Check a spoken section first. Once the voice is clear, listen to the quiet sections and decide how much music they need.
Add a track and balance it
- Open your footage in the Vyra iPhone app.
- Add the music you want to use in the project. Choose a track you have permission to include in your export.
- Tell chat where the music should begin and whether it should run under the whole video.
- Lower it during speech and listen to a complete sentence.
- Check the beginning and ending so the track does not start or stop awkwardly.
- Export and listen again in Photos at a normal phone volume.
Leave room for the original sound
If you filmed a brush moving across paper or food sizzling in a pan, that sound might belong in the video. Tell Vyra to preserve it instead of covering every clip with the same music level.
For a talking video, use the music to support the pace. The viewer should not have to turn the phone up to understand the words. Adjusting the original clip volume is a separate step from changing the music track.
Prompt to try
Use the music track I added. Keep it quiet while I speak and bring it up during the silent painting shots. Preserve the brush sounds where they are audible. Fade the music out over the final 2 seconds.
Check the track you plan to post
An app's export and a social platform's music library are different places to add audio. If you plan to choose music inside Instagram or TikTok, you can finish the picture edit first and add that platform's track when posting. Check the rights and availability for the place you will publish.
FAQ
Can I keep my original audio and add music?
Yes. Keep both, then lower the music wherever it competes with speech or an important sound.
Can Vyra change the music level during the video?
You can describe those changes in chat, such as quieter under speech and louder during silent footage. Listen to the result before exporting.
Does a free export remove the watermark?
No. Free mobile exports are 720p with a watermark. New accounts currently get 100 free credits; paid plans are available in the App Store.
