# How to add a soundtrack to your video in OneTake AI

You can add background music to your video directly from the **Customize Video** section while editing your project.

### Step 1: Open the Customize Video panel
Open your video project and click **Customize Video** on the right side of the editor.
Scroll down until you see the **Soundtrack** section.

### Step 2: Enable the soundtrack
Under the question **“Should OneTake AI play a subtle music track on this video?”**, select:
**Yes – I want to direct a custom track**
This enables background music for the video.

### Step 3: Preview the soundtrack
Once enabled, a music waveform will appear.
Click the **play** button next to the waveform to preview the soundtrack inside the editor.
This preview allows you to confirm that music is playing before finalizing the video.

### Step 4: Adjust the volume
Use the **Volume** dropdown to control how loud the soundtrack is relative to your voice.
Available options include:
• Very Quiet
• Subtle – International Standard (Recommended)
• Clearly Present
• Very Loud
• Blast My Ears

| For most talking videos, the recommended setting is Subtle – International Standard.

### Step 5: Save your changes
After selecting the soundtrack and volume, click **Save**.
Your soundtrack will now be applied to the video.

### Optional: Reuse the same setting for future videos
If you want OneTake AI to apply the same soundtrack volume to future projects, check the option **“Always use this setting for my future videos.”**
This saves the volume preference, not the music itself.
Once saved, the soundtrack will be included in previews, exports, and shared versions of the video.
