The problem
Explainer Video Background Music
Problem
Music that fights the narration
Stock tracks for explainers often come with drums, lead melodies or a busy mix that compete with the voiceover. You end up ducking the volume, re-editing, or swapping tracks late, and the viewer stops following the explanation.
With Mubert
Describe what the track is for in the prompt, such as a calm, sparse instrumental under a voiceover, with the tempo and instruments you want. Generate again with adjusted wording until it sits under the narration.
Problem
Cutting tracks to fit the video
Your explainer runs 1:47, the track runs 3:10. You loop a section, chop it, and hand-draw a fade, and the join is audible right when the viewer should be focused on your script.
With Mubert
Set the exact length in the Duration field before you generate, from a few seconds up to 25 minutes. The track comes out at that length, so nothing gets trimmed or faded by hand.
Problem
Licensing doubts on client work
Explainers are often paid client work or monetized videos. If you can't show where the music came from and what you're allowed to do with it, a claim or a client question can mean pulling the video and re-editing.
With Mubert
Every download comes with a license certificate you can keep with the project files. Commercial use, including client work and monetized videos, needs a paid plan that includes it, and the free plan is non-commercial only.

How to make it
An explainer needs music that stays out of the way of the voiceover. Aim for a steady, mid-tempo groove around 95 to 110 BPM, with light instruments like soft piano, plucked strings, mallets or a clean acoustic guitar. Skip big drops and busy lead melodies, they fight the narration. Match the track length to your cut, so you don't have to trim or fade anything.
Open Render, choose Track and set the duration to your finished cut, for example 1:30. Paste a prompt that names the genre, mood, one or two instruments, tempo and "under voiceover". Pick a genre or mood preset if you want a nudge, then press Generate. Before you publish, check that your plan covers commercial use, since client work and monetized videos need it. Keep the license certificate with the project files.

FAQ
Explainer Video Background Music
What kind of background music works best under an explainer video voiceover?
Pick an instrumental with a steady mid-tempo beat, soft instruments and no strong lead melody, so the narration stays clear. In Mubert Render you can describe that in the prompt, set the exact duration of your cut, and generate a track that fits without manual trimming or fades.
Can I use generated music in a client's explainer video?
Client work counts as commercial use, so you need a paid plan that includes it. The free plan is for non-commercial use only. Every download comes with a license certificate. Registering the tracks in Content ID or selling them on stock music sites is not allowed on any plan.
