(female voiceover). Adding background music
to your iMovie project is a simple task.
Navigate over to your browser buttons over here on your
toolbar, the far right side.
Click on the music notes, this is your music browser.
Here you'll see different areas where you can access music.
Two folders come with iMovie, iMovie sound effects,
iLife sound effects.
You also have access to any project that you may have
created in garage band and also any tunes from the iTunes
library on the computer that you're working on.
I'm going to go ahead and navigate to the
iLife sound effects folder.
I'm going to expand that by clicking on this arrow.
Down below there is some folders that help organize the different
types of sounds that we can add to our project.
I'm going to go into jingles, and then down below I
can see the actual soundtracks that are available in
the folder jingles. I'm going to choose
acoustic sunrise, here's a little taste of it.

I'm going to add that as a background sound to my project.
After I've located the sound that I want, I click and
highlight on it, and click and hold, and drag immediately out
to the left and then drag it up to your movie project.
And whenever the background of the
project turns green, release.
Now I've added that as a background music.
You can see that the acoustic sunrise that I added was a
minute and 18 seconds.
My overall length of my project is two minutes and seven
seconds, which isn't quite long enough.
So, easy enough, just go down and grab another acoustic
sunrise and we'll automatically start where the last one dropped
off, and it will also adjust to the end of my movie project.
Once you're finished you just close out your browser,
and now you have your background music added.
