How to add mp3 audio to Adobe Premiere project

In this beginners tutorial you will learn how to add a mp3 audio to you video projects.

Your video clip probably already has a sound to it, let's turn it off so it won't clash with the new one we're going to add.

Click the Toggle Track Output button on the Audio track of your video clip to turn the sound off (see picture).

Let's import a song now.

It's basically the same as importing a video clip.

In the menu click File and choose Import (Ctrl + I for the keyboard shortcut).

Click the imported audio file ...

... and drag it to an empty Audio track.

Audio 2 in my case.

You can click the Collapse button to make some other audio options visible (see picture).

If the song is too long for your video project, like in my case, just click at the end of Audio track ...

... and drag it to the left so it's the same length as your video clip.

And that is how you add some music or any audio to your video projects. It doesn't have to be a mp3 file, Adobe Premiere supports all the major audio files out there.
