Like any other smartphone, the iPhone is a magnificent tool for recording our own videos, but also for editing them. This post focuses precisely on the audio section. Let's see what possibilities we have to put music to a video on iPhone, whether this is a video recorded by ourselves or by any other user who has sent it to our device.
To carry out this editing work, our own iPhone will provide us with a very practical and easy-to-use tool. In addition, we also have many specialized apps to help us give the musical touch we want to our videos.
App clips
This is the tool we are referring to: App clips. As advertised in the Apple Store, this application gives us the best way to make funny videos and share them, just with a few taps and applying all kinds of visual effects, as well as sound tracks.
The truth is that it is a very complete app in which the possibility of adding music to an iPhone video is just one of the many options it offers. For example, you can add a music track from our library or choose from over a hundred soundtracks that automatically adjust to the length of your videos.
Although it can do many more things (we have to insist on this point), if what we want is to use App Clips to add music to our videos using the iPhone, these are what we must do:
- First we must open our video using the App clips.
- Then we touch the button "Music", which is in the upper right corner.
- Next, we select the option "Sound Tracks".*
- Again, we press the "Music" button and touch the option «OK», which is in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Finally, to play the sound track along with the video, click on the button "Reproduction".
(*) Here we have the possibility to preview the video to see how it looks with the music we have chosen.
The 5 best applications to add music to a video on iPhone
In addition to the solution that App Clips brings us, there are many iOS apps that can help us create fantastic videos with our favorite musical themes and offering us many other options. This is a small selection of the best:
FilmoraGo
Filmora It is a paid application, although it has an interesting trial version to be able to test almost all its functions and add music to our videos. Among other things, we can set speed and volume settings, add the function fader or fit the sound tracks (audio and music) according to our own tastes.
It is a very easy-to-use application that incorporates a preview window to facilitate the editing task. It is one of the favorites of those who edit videos with some regularity.

iMovie
Despite being an application that comes pre-installed by default on all iPhones, it is still one of the best. Let no one think that it is a basic tool, on the contrary. The truth is iMovie It comes with many and very practical editing tools.
The app allows us to choose between more than 130 soundtracks, which automatically adjust to the duration of our video. Apart from this, it lets us add sound effects and upload songs from our own library. They are all advantages.

Magisto
You do not need great technical knowledge to handle Magisto and achieve great results in video editing (including the function of adding music) using our iPhone. It works very well and offers numerous possibilities, with a vast library of royalty-free music at our disposal.
The only drawback that we can put is that it is a paid app, although it may be worth taking advantage of one of its plans, depending on what use we are going to give it.

Splice
An application whose simplicity becomes a virtue. With Splice you can create fabulous videos and add the music you want through an iPhone or iPad.
This app allows us to create the perfect soundtrack, choosing songs from more than 6000 royalty-free tracks from the Artlist and Shutterstock libraries. Of course, songs from our own iTunes collection can also be used.

It is also oriented so that users can share their videos through Instagram, Vine and Facebook.
Among other things, with this application we will be able to add music from iTunes.
