How to add background music to video with audio with FFmpeg

To add background music (with user-specified volume) to a video that already has audio, use the following code.

	
ffmpeg.exe -i VIDEO_FILE -i BACKGROUND_AUDIO_FILE -filter_complex
 "[1:0]volume=0.5[a1];[0:a][a1]amix=inputs=2:duration=first" -map 0:v:0 out.mp4
 

VIDEO_FILE : video file path


BACKGROUND_AUDIO_FILE : background audio file path

You can set your own volume. 100% corresponds to volume=1 so 50% volume corresponds to 50%/100%=0.5.
