Choose your Music File
Before you choose your music file, it’s important to understand that most music tracks have copyrights. Many don’t realize that they can actually get sued from using music tracks on videos without permission.
So in case, you plan to publish your video to the general public, or especially, monetize from it in any way, you must own the right to use the video track.
Alternatively, you can look for a music track that’s safe to use.
If the video you’re making is meant for personal use only, without uploading or sharing the video through any channel, then you’re probably fine using a random music track.
Once you find your music track, just upload it to one of the free video makers with music we mentioned before.
Tips for choosing Music Tracks –
- The background music can give so much to a Video, especially by sparking emotions. We recommend to figure out what kind of emotions you want your video viewers to experience, It’ll help you figure out which songs you want to use.
- In case you haven’t picked up a music track yet, consider trying Promo.com’s video editor, as it contains a royalty-free music library. Sharing your end result is free, but exporting the video would cost you some bucks. It might be worth it if you’re also after a music track. Take advantage of promo’s music library and advanced editing features.
- Make sure to adjsut your music track into the video. Use the trimming and volume functionalities to make sure your Track fits the video perfectly. You can even use a few music tracks on the same video.
Export your end result
You’ve chosen an online video maker, you’ve uploaded your video and even chose a music track that’s safe to use. Now, it’s time to download your end result – a video with background music.
In case you were using Promo, you’d only be able to share your video on Facebook or any other social network, which is more than enough most of the time. In order to actually download it to your computer, you’d have to pay for one of Promo’s subscriptions.
The two other solutions we’ve mentioned, are completely free to use. Their downside is, they just work less well than Promo’s solution.
