Let’s suppose you are shooting a video with your smartphone and recording the audio from an external microphone that is not attached to your mobile. In this case, both the audio and video need to be combined to make a perfect match. Doing this is very convenient in the cap cut app.

Pro Tip: Whenever you are shooting a video and audio separately, hit record on both the recordings and clap three times. This will help you match both files in the editing table.

Here are the detailed steps on how to combine audio and video in caput.

Step 1: Create a New Project

1. Open Capcut on your mobile or PC and click on “+New Project”.
2. Select the file aspect ratio
3. Add the media files in the library section

Step 2: Edit the files

1. Add the video file on the timeline and click on Extract to separate its audio.
2. Add the external microphone audio file below the video.
3. Match both the audios now (original and external mic) by matching the waves and dips.
4. The three claps will create a sharp peak in your audio, which will help in matching them.
5. Adjust the settings of your audio by increasing or decreasing the volume, using fade-in and fade effects and playing with the tempo/pace of your audio.
6. If you are adding any other audio in your project, like a voice-over or any background music, then lower the music’s volume so that it doesn’t create an issue with your vocals.
