Even after you've uploaded your video to YouTube, it's not too late to do something to enhance its appeal. For example, you can use the Video Editor tool to add music from YouTube's large library of royalty-free music to videos with no audio, or replace your existing soundtrack with something more appropriate. You can't use the Video Editor, however, to add one song on top of another or on top of your video's original soundtrack.
Using Video Editor
Step 1
Sign in to your YouTube account. Click 'Upload' and then the Video editor 'Edit' button.
Step 2
Step 3
Click the 'Audio' button to display the list of tracks you can select from. You can also search YouTube's library for more appropriate tracks. For example, if you want blues music, type 'blues' in the search box and press Enter.
Step 4
Click and hold the mouse button on the track you want to use and then drag it to the box labeled 'Drag audio here.'
The platform-tools contains the required adb and fastboot binaries.Step 2: Make sure that the drivers are installed on your computer.
Step 5
Release the mouse button once you see the blue border around the box.
Step 6
Move the slider beneath the video to the left if you want to lower the music's volume.

Click the 'Edit' button next to the video you want to add music to.

Tip
- If the duration of the music you chose is less than the length of your video, you can drag additional tracks to the 'Drag audio here' box. If the track is longer, however, YouTube will trim it to match your video.

When it works it’s great… When it works.
Frequently within the app I am unable to see all of my videos with in the media section. They are all in the photo file but they don’t all pull up within the app. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, restoring the settings within the app itself, resetting the phone, re-saving the video itself… Still won’t read within the app. I also tried reaching you guys via your “contact” tab and a window pops up and says “failed, email not found”

Cool app but..
I really enjoy using this app, it has filters, music, and a bunch of other editing options. As much as I love using this easy-to-use app, It has its flaws. Especially when you have to pay to use other tracks. Kinda not so awesome when you are limited to certain tracks. Not to mention the amount of ads in this. If you aren’t really patient to wait for 20 seconds or so to just edit a video then maybe I wouldn’t consider this app. I haven’t paid for the Premium or whatever but, it did get a lot of bad reviews and leaves this app a bad reputation. One question though, why not make all of your tracks/music free to use? Not to be rude or anything but, isn’t it the whole point of the app? Add music to videos, right? You shouldn’t really pay for music that is probably not made or created by the creators aka Kite. It bugs me that there are A LOT of apps that promised something for the consumer and it does but, you have to pay for it. I honestly don’t think it is worth to pay every penny for some music/tracks. Some of the tracks are good, corny, or distasteful. It just depends. If you are willing to pay, then go ahead. You might regret it or not. I really love the app but, please give us more options in music! Or make all of the tracks free! I’m still going to use this app, since it is the only app that can provide music and add in your voice. Oh, and you don’t really have that option to put two tracks at a time, you have to pay for that too.

I still getting ads
Buyers be aware. Initially I bough this app a few months ago with a lifetime purchase offered by the developers. Then a few weeks ago I see that the app was having issues loading the music and putting ads. I wrote a review and the developer responded that That the issue was fixed and that I should not have any problems.
The apps worked fine for one day. Next day I started to see more ads and when I tried to close them it asks me to subscribe to the new membership format. What is my point? The app is fantastic and I like it, but there is one problem. I bought this application prior to having subscription a few months ago and paid for the one time lifetime access and these developers charged for that and transitioned to the new format without even explaining or honoring the people who bough the lifetime access. I took some screen shots on my phone to show. The point in discussion here is not the greatness of the app but the lack of honor of the developers to abide on their promises. It is a dishonorable practice. BEWARE!

Adding music can add entertainment value to any YouTube video. Professional moviemakers don't play music as they record video. They add it after the video is shot, during the editing process. You can add MP3 music to your next YouTube video using video-editing software in a few steps.
Step 1
Open your video-editing software. For Mac, iMovie comes in the iLife suite. For Windows, you can download Windows Live Movie Maker if it is not already installed on your computer. More advanced video-editing software is available for purchase, but the free software will work fine.
Step 2
Import your video into the editing software. The free software makes it easy by searching for your videos. For iMovie, click on the 'File' menu and click 'Import.' You can add video from your Mac or from a camera. Click on the 'Add Video' button on the home toolbar in Windows Movie Maker. Using the file menu and selecting 'Import from device,' you can add video directly from a camera.
Step 3
Edit your software. If you wish to add clips together, trim sections or change any other features, do this before you add music. You will want to make the music fit the video, not the video fit the music.
Step 4
Add music to your video. Click on the File menu, then 'Music and Sound' in iMovie to select the MP3 that you want to add. In Windows Movie Maker, select the 'add music' button on the home toolbar.
Step 5
Edit your music. Crop and arrange the music with your video. Both software versions have sound editing features.
Post your completed video to YouTube. You can save a file and upload it using a Web browser, or you can use the auto-upload included with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. The auto-loader is a one-button way to have the video posted directly to your YouTube account.
Tip
- Avoid potential copyright violations by using your own purchased music in your videos.

Make basic edits to the audio file. PowerPoint includes some basic audio editing tools that allow you to change where the song starts playing from, adjust the volume, fade in and out, and more. Select the audio object to open the Playback tab if it isn't already.
- Add bookmarks to the track. When you hover over the audio object, you'll see a track time slider. Select a spot on the track and click the 'Add Bookmark' button to create a clickable bookmark at that point in the track. This will allow you to quickly jump to specific spots.
- Click the 'Trim Audio' button to cut out unnecessary parts of the song. Useful for songs that are too long, or that you only need a piece of. Use the sliders in the Trim Audio window to select the new starting and ending point for the song.
- Use the Fade Duration options to set the fade in and fade out times. The longer the duration, the more gradual the fade will be.
- Use the Volume button to adjust the master volume for the song. Make sure to test the song before the presentation and adjust the volume accordingly so that you don't startle the audience.
