How to Replace Music in YouTube Video

In this blog post, I will walk you through the step-by-step process involved in How to Replace Music in a YouTube Video using the built-in Video Editor in YouTube Studio.

The built-in YouTube video editor is a basic editor, however, it can come very handy when you need to edit a video that you’ve already uploaded to your YouTube channel.

 This can be especially helpful if you’ve got a copyright claim on your video and need to change or replace the music and release your video from the copyright claim.

Bear in mind that I’m using the web version of YouTube Studio and I’m not sure if this feature is available yet in the Android or iOS YouTube Studio apps.

If you prefer following video instructions, I've created a step-by-step video in which I walk you through the whole process. You can check the video below. Further down this blog post, you will also find written instructions on how to do the same.


To access the built-in YouTube video editor, go into Edit mode for the specific video. Once you do so, you will see a link to the YouTube video editor (in the left side panel) if you're using the web version of YouTube.

 
To add music from the YouTube Audio Library, click on the audio button in the top-left panel where you see several video editing tools. This will open the YouTube Audio Library, you can then hover your mouse, over a specific song/music track and click the ADD button.

This will add the song/music track to your current audio track in the timeline. The newly added song/music track can be moved, by dragging along the timeline. You will also see a button on the newly added song/music track that looks like 3 sliders. This button allows you to adjust the mic level (volume) using the slider.

If you move it to the extreme left position, it will maintain your current audio, while also adding the newly added song/music track. If you move it to the extreme right position, it will replace the original audio.

So you can adjust the level accordingly, based on your needs. You can preview the changes before you save them. You can also revert back to the original video, if you do not like the changes you’ve made.

Hope this tutorial helped. If you can check my other YouTube Help tutorials. If you still have further question or concerns, please feel free to use the comments section below. Thanks for stopping by!

Firefox 100 Review 2022

Mozilla released Firefox 100 on May 3, 2022. This is the fifth major browser update in 2022.

This is the twelfth update for the new Proton user-interface which was released in June 2021. In this blog post, I cover some of the notable changes in this new browser update.

In the past couple of years, Mozilla has been releasing updates almost on a monthly basis for the Firefox web browser. However, not all of their updates include major changes and new features.

In this new Firefox 100 release, there is not much to report in terms of new features, but I will cover a couple of notable changes in this blog post.

First up, an improvement in PiP (or Picture-in-Picture mode). Firefox, now supports captions & subtitles display on YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix videos you watch in Picture-in-Picture. Firefox will also support video captions on websites that use WebVTT (or Web Video Text Track) format like Coursera, CBC, and others.

Secondly, Firefox Spell Check in multiple languages. If you have Spelling Check enabled, Firefox spell checking now checks spelling in multiple languages. You would need to add the respective language dictionaries.

Thirdly, Firefox Color Schemes. Users can now choose preferred color schemes for websites you can do so, by going to “about:preferences” and in the GENERAL tab under the WEBSITE APPEARANCE section.

And lastly, Firefox 100 is the first 3-digit version. This may cause some websites to break due to the new 3-digit number. You can read about it via this blog post.



So, these were a couple of changes in Firefox 100. You can check the list of detailed changes in the Release Notes.

In terms of the Browsermark Benchmark test results, the overall performance of Firefox remained steady compared to the earlier version. On the other hand, Google Chrome continues to outperform. Thanks for stopping by!
