Adding Audio into the Shotcut video editor is the same as adding other types of media such as video or images. However, when you come to add audio into the project, you should add it to an audio track, rather than a video track. It doesn’t make a huge difference as both video and audio tracks support sound, but it is best practice and helps you keep your projects tidy.
In this guide I explain exactly how to add audio into your Shotcut project and then put it into the correct audio track on the timeline. This is particularly helpful for beginners and when you are just starting out learning the Shotcut video editor.
You may be thinking that is over obvious and that its exactly the same as adding video – you are completely right! Adding files of any type in Shotcut is simple. It is this simplicity that has made Shotcut one of the best open-source video editors out there. I use it for all my video editing and I find it competes well with any paid alternative. By following my guides you too can edit all your videos completely for free!
