4 tips for adding music to video
Adding music to video content is easy, but making the music fit the video perfectly takes skill. Here are some tips to get you started.
. Fit the music to the mood
The audio in a music video will be different to the background music and sound effects in video podcasts. Add music that fits the topic and emotion of your video perfectly.
Be mindful of audio volume
Loud music can be distracting for viewers. Adjust the volume of the audio track using the handy 'Volume' slider in Synthesia.
Use a variety of audio tracks
Different scenes call for different songs, so switch up the audio tracks to fit the video clips. And sometimes, no audio clips are required for better viewing experience.
Be aware of licensing
If you're publishing the video, ensure the music is licensed for use. Use either your own music or simply add stock audio files.
