Step-by-Step Instructions

Import Your Video File

Open Pimosa and click the New Project button. Select Import Media from the main dashboard, then drag and drop your video file or click Browse Files to select it from your device. Wait for the upload to complete and the video to appear in your media library.

Pimosa supports MP4, MOV, AVI, and most common video formats up to 4K resolution.

Add Video to Timeline

Drag your uploaded video from the media library to the Video Track on the timeline at the bottom of the screen. The video will automatically snap to the beginning of the timeline. You can preview your video by clicking the Play button in the preview window.

Use the zoom controls on the timeline to get a better view of your video segments.

Access the Audio Tab

Click on the Audio tab in the left sidebar menu. This will open the audio editing panel where you can see options for Music Library, Upload Audio, and Audio Effects. The audio waveform display will also become visible below the video timeline.

Import Your Music File

Click Upload Audio and select your music file from your device. Alternatively, browse Pimosa's Music Library for royalty-free tracks. Once uploaded, your music will appear in the audio media panel. Supported formats include MP3, WAV, FLAC, and AAC files.

Pimosa's music library offers over 1000 royalty-free tracks organized by genre and mood.

Add Music to Audio Track

Drag your selected music file from the audio panel to the Audio Track on the timeline, positioned below your video track. The music will appear as a blue waveform. You can drag it left or right to adjust when the music starts playing relative to your video.

Hold Shift while dragging to snap the audio to specific time markers on the timeline.

Adjust Audio Levels

Select the audio track by clicking on it, then use the Volume slider in the audio properties panel to adjust the music volume. You can also right-click on the audio track and select Audio Properties to access advanced controls like fade in/out effects and EQ settings.

Keep music volume around 20-30% if you have dialogue in your video to ensure voices remain clear.

Trim and Sync Audio

To trim the music length, hover over the edges of the audio track until you see resize cursors, then drag to shorten or extend. Use the Split tool by clicking Ctrl+K to cut audio at specific points. Preview your video with audio by pressing the spacebar or clicking Play.

Use the A/V sync feature in the timeline menu to automatically align audio peaks with video cuts.

Export Your Video with Music

Once satisfied with your audio-video combination, click Export in the top-right corner. Choose your desired video quality from Export Settings (720p, 1080p, or 4K). Select Include Audio checkbox and click Start Export. Pimosa will render your video with the embedded music track.

Higher quality exports take longer but provide better audio fidelity for professional projects.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Music file won't upload or shows format error

Ensure your music file is in a supported format (MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC) and under 100MB. Try converting the file using Pimosa's built-in Audio Converter found in the Tools menu.

Audio and video are out of sync

Right-click on the audio track and select Sync to Video. You can also manually adjust by dragging the audio track or using the Audio Offset setting in the audio properties panel.

Music volume is too loud or quiet compared to original video audio

Select the music track and adjust the Volume slider to balance levels. Use the Audio Mixer panel to see real-time volume levels and prevent clipping. Consider using Audio Ducking to automatically lower music when dialogue is present.

Exported video has no sound or distorted audio

Check that Include Audio is selected in export settings. Verify your audio track isn't muted (red speaker icon). Try exporting with different audio quality settings or use Audio Preview before final export.
