- Hello, everyone. My name is Tim.
And in this video, I'm gonna explain
to you how you can add music
(upbeat music)
in your video.
In this video, I will explain
why music adds value to your videos.
Next, how to import music to your videos,
then how to edit music in your videos,
and in the end, I will give you a bonus tip
on how to get free music in your videos.
So in what way could music contribute to your videos?
Oftentimes, music could be a very great way
to set the mood and the tone for the video.
You can think of happy music

sad music
(sad music)
upbeat music
(upbeat music)
anything.
You can use certain music as background music,
but you can also make it a part of the narrative.
It's also a great way to attract the audience to the story,
so make sure the music you use in your videos is always
in context with the narrative.
Use it in your advantage.
So how do you import music to your video?
In this example, we go to VEED.IO,
which is an online video editing software.
If you don't have an account,
you can create one for free.
To make things easier, you can also click on the link
in the description to go straight to the website.
Once you're on the homepage,
you can click on Upload Your Video,
then click Upload a File.
Click on a video you'd like to add, and there it is.
So once we imported the video,
we can import the music.
Simply go to the left side of the menu,
click on Upload, then you click on Upload Audio,
select the audio file you wanna add,
and then you music is added on top of your video.
So next up, we're going to edit the music in the video.
There are a couple of options we can consider
while editing this music.
As you can see on the left side of the menu,
you can adjust the volume of the music.
You could also speed up or slow down your music.
When it says one time,
it means it's just the normal speed of the imported audio.
When if you click on 1.5,
it's 1.5 times faster than the original file.
Let's test it out.

We can also slow it down by clicking on 0.5 in this case.

You could also create a custom tempo of your music
by clicking on Custom and change it to the speed you like.
In this case, we just wanna keep a normal speed.
I would also like to edit the duration of the music.
What I just realized is
that the music is way longer than the video itself.
I wanna make it shorter.
So what we can do is we go to the right side
of the audio file and click
and drag it all the way down to the left.
To create an oversight,
we go to the right side and click on Fit Timeline.
Now everything's in place and we can see what we are doing.
In this specific video,
I want to let the music start
at a specific time of the video.
As you can see in the video,
I'm counting down from three to one,
and then I'm pointing to the camera.
That's the exact point where I wanna let the music start.
So what I can do is I can drag the key frame
to the point where I'm pointing up.
Then I click on the little timer and that's where starts.
Let's see how that worked out.
(upbeat music)
Nice, all right, cool.
So now that we have imported the music
to the video and edited the music,
we can export the video if you're satisfied.
Simply go to the right of the menu and click on Export,
click on Export Video, and there you go.
So now we arrived at the bonus tip.
How can you get free music for your videos?
It's very important to understand
that you can't just use random music for your videos,
especially if you don't know
if they're copyrighted or noncopyrighted.
Using copyrighted music without any permission
or any license could get you in alot of troubles.
It could lead to very unpleasant consequences.
I briefly talked about this in my other video
in which I covered the usage of images in videos.
A link should appear somewhere in this video
if you wanna check that out after this video.
So where can you find music you can use in your videos?
There are different sources where you can find a list
of music you can use in your videos.
One of them is the YouTube audio library.
You can find it on the website of YouTube itself.
If you're logged in, go to the right top of the menu
and click on your profile picture,
and then click on YouTube Studio.
If you hover your mouse over the left side
of the menu and scroll down,
you should be able to find audio library.
Once you've clicked on that,
you can see an enormous list
of music you can use for your videos.
The great part about this is
that you can download all the audio files.
Simply hover over the music you wanna get
and click on DOWNLOAD.
They offer it for free but make sure you're aware
of the limitations if that's the case.
You can read this in the license disclaimer of a song.
If it's the case, make sure you follow the guidelines.
Another great source for free music is StreamBeats.
It's primarily made for content creators and streamers.
I also used music from StreamBeats
as an example for this video.
If you want to download a song from StreamBeats,
simply go to the website and click on CREATE,
DOWNLOAD TRACKS, and it will redirect you
to all the music files they have.
If you would like to broaden your options,
you can always consider using premium websites.
Great examples are: Epidemic Sounds or PremiumBeats.
They offer free samples and trial versions,
so you can always change your mind if you want to.
I put all the links of the websites in the description.
And that's it for this video.
