There are many ways to make or find audio for your animation. You can record with your phone or other recording device, download music and sound effects from the Internet and extract audio from videos using an MP3 converter.

To insert audio in your timeline, click the music note icon next to “Add Track” and add your MP3 file. Click the icon to add “new audio track” too.
To export your video, go to “File” –> “Export” –> “Render Video…” with the following setting (title it FirstName_LastName_Sample.mp4):
