Step 3: Set Up Your Video Project in CapCut with AI Music
Create a CapCut account (browser-based, no downloads needed)
- Start new project and upload your video footage
- Add the Soundraw music track you created
- Each element appears as a separate layer on the timeline
- Position music to align with video highlights
- Add fade-ins/outs at music transitions (typically 0.5-1 second)
Step 4: Mix AI Music & Audio Elements for Perfect Balance
- Upload your Sound Effects and/or Voiceover (or use CapCut's text-to-speech)
- Align Sound Effects with your video
Tip: Whooshes are the best for emphasizing motion (avoid using the same whoosh twice)
- Ensure voiceover is clearly audible above music
Adjust volume levels:
- Voiceover: 0dB (100%)
- Music/AI Beats: -6 to -12dB (25-50%)
- Sound effects: -3 to -6dB (50-70%)
Step 5: Finalize and Export Your Video with AI Music
- Preview your entire video to verify audio/visual sync
- Apply any final adjustments to timing or volume
- Export at your required resolution (higher quality requires paid plan)
- Download or share directly to your marketing platforms
