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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
