How to edit audio clips in WeVideo
After logging into your account and selecting your preferred editor, learning how to edit your audio clips is easy.
Every WeVideo account comes with audio tracks for you to use in your projects and upgrades are available for even more content.
You can upload your own audio or select a stock file by clicking Audio in the lefthand menu. Audio files are separated into categories and can be previewed before dragging them down into the timeline.
How to edit audio clip levels
WeVideo makes it easy to adjust levels and fade in/out of your audio. To do this, right click on the audio clip, then select Show audio level. Another way to phrase this step is adjusting keyframes.
Move each point on the blue line (also known as keyframes) however you like to make a long fade in/out or to keep audio levels low.

How to boost your audio
To boost your audio, click Edit from the toolbar (below the preview video). A new window appears where you can lower or raise your audio's volume. Click Show advanced settings for specific timestamps of when to fade in and fade out.
This comes in handy if you have recorded audio that isn't loud enough or may be too loud and overtakes other audio.
Once you've adjusted and edited your audio track, you can export it as an audio-only project or finish by adding videos or images.
Maximize WeVideo's stock footage library
You can always make or upload your own video footage, but if you don't have the time or need some ideas, we've got you covered. Know that WeVideo's stock footage is royalty-free and fully licensed for easy use.
To favorite these assets, simply search them, click the Heart in the corner, and find them auto-added to a Favorites category at the top of your media options.
Mastering how to edit audio clips requires some coordination with your other media assets. To include them, simply click into the Videos, Text, Images, and Transitions tabs to customize your Timeline exactly how you see fit. Drag-and-drop your assets to the Timeline accordingly and hit the play button to preview.
Now that you know how to edit audio clips in WeVideo, head into the editor to give it a go!
