That depends on what you mean by merging.If you are asking how to mask/overlap one audio over another, here's how:
> With both audio files imported into Windows Movie Maker
> Drag and drop each side-by-side into the Music/Audio track in the Time-line view
> Click, hold and drag the second audio file backwards over the first insertion
Note: A thin blue line appears if you are doing it correctly but don't let the line
disappear.
> Click Play in the Preview pane to hear results
There is only one Music/Audio track in Windows Movie Maker to work with. You cannot have two audio clips playing at the same time (they will run consecutively) unless you 'overlap' them.
To overlap (technically 'merge') audio on the Music/Audio track, simply click, hold and drag the second audio clip backwards over top of the first clip. A thin blue line appears when you do this. The farther you drag it backwards, the more overlapping there will be in the two tracks.
If you only want to music to fade in/fade out, I would suggest using those audio specific adjustment features (accessed by right-clicking the audio clip.) Or, if you wish to mix two audio clips completely in a professional manner, perhaps an external audio editor would be best to use.
Windows Movie Maker, unfortunately, is a very basic video editing software application with limited features. One of those limitations happens to be only ONE Music/Audio track to work with.
In the Time-line view of Windows Movie Maker:
> Click on the + sign beside the Video track (This opens up the audio track of the video)
> Now, click, hold and drag the audio down into the Audio/Music track below
The video itself will disappear. Then you can import and add other video/pics to the Video track.
You can't have 'two' audios files playing at the same time in Windows Movie Maker. There is only one audio track to work with.
If you are trying to piece together narration with background music in the program, the only way to do that is by 'overlapping' both audio files. Take the second audio piece (in Time-line view) and drag it backwards over the top of the first audio piece.
You will know if you are doing this correctly if you see a thin blue line appear as you are dragging it. Drag it only as far to the left as you can without the blue line disappearing. The two audio files on the Audio/Music track will now play together.
However, you can't individually 'tweak' the files following this process. Any editing you do to each file should be done before overlapping. In other words, fading in, lowering volume, fading out, etc, should be done beforehand.
You can't do that on Windows Live Movie Maker, but you can extract the audio from a video in Windows Movie Maker v2.6 and save/publish it as an audio file.
Use Windows Movie Maker
Speeds faster than 1x does not support audio in Windows Movie Maker.
You can't loop audio in Windows Movie Maker. The only way you can keep it playing is by dragging it down into the track again (but it plays over from the beginning unless you split it).
Nope. Can't do that in Windows Movie Maker. There are only two tracks in the program to use audio and video on. You need at least three tracks to do what you are asking.
You can't do that with audio on Windows Movie Maker. The application is very basic with limited features/functions. Masking is not a feature that is included.
No. There is only one audio track to work with in Windows Movie Maker. You can drag an audio backwards on the time-line to overlap the music... but it may not sound the way it would if it were on two different tracks. Perhaps you can try to use a streaming audio recorder to record audio on windows movie maker.
Unfortunately, you can't do that with Windows Live Movie Maker (2011). It is a stripped-down version of Windows Movie Maker with very basic features, and only one audio track to work with. Sorry.
First you have to mute the video's audio in Windows Movie Maker. Once the audio portion of the Video is muted, you can import and drop the desired audio you want to use into the Audio/Music track.
No narration feature in Windows Live Movie Maker. Sorry.
You do not have any other audio publishing options other than .wma if you are editing it in Windows Movie Maker. My suggestion is... edit the audio in Windows Movie Maker; publish/finish it in .wma format; then convert it to .mp3 using an Audio Conversion program.
Microsoft Windows Movie Maker lets the user create video/audio projects.
