# Adding music

## Choose from over 200 music tracks in the VideoScribe music library or import your own MP3 track

Music plays an important role in communicating your message in your video. VideoScribe has a selection of over 200 royalty-free music tracks to choose from and also allows you to import your own MP3 tracks. 

### Music options

Click the '**Music**' ![ICONS - Audio](https://help.videoscribe.co/hubfs/Customer%20Success/ICONS%20-%20Audio.svg) button to access your music options in the **left-hand panel**: 

- [**Music library**](https://help.videoscribe.co/knowledge/adding-music#audio-library) - add royalty-free music tracks from the VideoScribe library
- **[Import music](https://help.videoscribe.co/knowledge/adding-music#import-music)** - add music from your files or upload your own MP3 track
- **[Music in this project](https://help.videoscribe.co/knowledge/adding-music#project-tracks)** - manage the audio tracks in your project

### **Music library**

Select the ‘**Music library**’![ICONS - Audio](https://help.videoscribe.co/hubfs/Customer%20Success/ICONS%20-%20Audio.svg)button to open the '**Music library**' screen. Here you can browse the available tracks by scrolling through the pages with the arrows. You can sort the tracks using the ‘**Sort-by**’ option. Each track will display the length, genre and tempo.

- Listen to the tracks by clicking the '**Preview**' ![ICONS - listen to audio](https://help.videoscribe.co/hubfs/Customer%20Success/ICONS%20-%20listen%20to%20audio.svg) icon
- To add the track to your project, select '**Add**', then choose to add the track as:
  
    - **Scene audio** - audio added to the selected scene
    - **Project audio** - audio that plays throughout the entire project

**Top tip:** Once an audio track has been added to your project, you can edit your audio and move the tracks around. Check out the [Editing audio in VideoScribe](https://help.videoscribe.co/knowledge/audio-editing?hsLang=en) article for full details.

### **Import music**

Select the ‘**Import**’ button to open the '**Your music files**' screen. Here you can see all the music files you have uploaded.

- Use the search bar to find a track within your files
- Click the '**Delete**' ![delete](https://help.videoscribe.co/hubfs/Customer%20Success/delete.svg) icon next to the track to remove it - this will delete the track from your files, but it will still be available in any projects already using the track
- Click the '**Upload**' button to upload your own MP3 file:
  
    - After selecting the file from your machine, you can give the track a '**Name**' and a '**Description**'
    - Next, either click ‘**Add**’ to add the track to your project as '**Scene audio**' or '**Project audio**' or alternatively, click ‘**Save only**’ to save it to your files, without using it right away

![](https://help.videoscribe.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-09-2026-03-24-55-9130-PM.png?width=482&height=266&name=image-png-Nov-09-2026-03-24-55-9130-PM.png)

**Top tip:** Some audio programs create MP3 files with extra data used by their software which unfortunately is not compatible with VideoScribe.

Ensure you have a clean render of your MP3 file using software such as [Audio Converter](https://audio.online-convert.com/) (free to use).

### Music in this project

When you add a music track, it will appear in the **left-hand music panel**.

- Music tracks are split into two sections:
  
    - **Scene audio** - tracks added specifically to the selected scene
    - **Project audio** - tracks that play throughout the entire project
- Select a track to highlight it in the advanced timeline: 
    - You may need to switch to the advanced timeline to see this
    - The advanced timeline will scroll to display the audio track
- Click the '**Delete**' ![delete](https://help.videoscribe.co/hubfs/Customer%20Success/delete.svg) icon next to the track to remove it - this will delete the track from the project, but uploaded audio will still be available from your files

**Please note:** You can have up to 50 audio tracks per project, with a total file size limit of 300MB. Audio limitations are displayed at the bottom of the **right-hand panel** - you can see these when you highlight the '**I**' icon.
