I need to combine a movie without sounds and a MP3 file. How can I do it in OS X? I have Adobe After Effects but it is not at all intuitive to use -- or better I need to find some button to render the sounds with the movie but now no time -- is there some easy fast-to-use software for OS X to combine sounds and videos?

iMovie is the obvious choice. It's very easy to use and fairly reasonable in price. You might have it already if you have a newish mac or else it's $15 I think.

Awesome! Thank you so Apple way, clever -- worked like a charm without After Effect's slow rendering. Not professional thing but works :)– hhhMay 15, 2013 at 23:02
ffmpeg supports combining video and audio without re-encoding:
ffmpeg -i input.mov -i input.mp3 -c copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -shortest output.mov
-map 0:0
means input file 0, stream 0. -c copy
copies video and audio codecs. -shortest
makes the combined file as long as the shorter file.

The best and fastest choice to combine or merge audio and video files without re-encoding. Really useful. Thanks a lot! Nov 28, 2015 at 9:53

Indeed, the quickest way without extra software. I have DaVinciResolve16 for editing, Handbrake, even VLC can maybe do it, but this was a simple quest, thank you a lot for this simple, effective and absolutely fast solution (avoiding also recompression). PD: this is 2020, 4 years later :) OS 10.14– leonApr 7, 2020 at 21:14
Adobe After Effects
I remembered now how to do it in After Effects: Composition > Add to Render Queue
and then click lossless
and put the cross to the audio thing. Now specify the target and then hit Render
.
A good video here how to do it.

Yet this solution is taking pretty long time do, hopefully someone able to provide a more casual way.– hhhMay 15, 2013 at 22:50
