Adding Background Audio to a Video

I have a video that I want to play while I use a different background audio file. When I click on the audio icon I get two options: Use the video soundtrack or use background audio. I can select Use background audio, but then there is no way to add an audio file. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks,

Jen

Currently, that option to Use Background Audio refers to general background audio for that service section:

Otherwise, I'd encourage you to post that enhancement to our Proclaim UserVoice page: http://proclaim.uservoice.com/

Hello Jennifer,

Hunter is correct that currently there is no option to do this for a Video service item. However one thing to note is that you can upload a video to be used as "motion background" for content service items. So in your case it would be possible to create a content service item, go to the background tab and click the "FILE..." button and upload your video. Then you can use the audio icon to put your desired track in the background.

Hope this helps,
Jeremy

I do want to clarify however that in the vast majority of cases you shouldn't have to use the method I described above. Simply adding the audio somewhere before the video, setting the video to "use background audio", and making sure audio playlist settings are set right should be sufficient.
