If you want to add music to a video intended for displaying on YouTube video hosting, you do not need to thoroughly understand the operation of file processing programs. You can use fairly simple methods that do not require long learning.
YouTube is a social network where users post a variety of videos. Both the quality and the impression made on the audience depend on their preparation. If you have not yet decided on the melody, and the video file is already on the YouTube channel, you need to choose the appropriate sound.
Where to get music to insert into video
You should start processing by uploading the prepared media file to your channel. When this is done, you need to open the "Video Manager" tab. You can find it a little below the search bar. Then you should choose the music suitable for the video.
When you go to the "Video Manager" tab, the user has the opportunity to change the soundtrack of the video, perform other activities aimed at improving the video experience. Next to the video uploaded to the channel, the "Edit" button appears; when you hover the cursor, it displays a menu. Select the line "Sound". A window with compositions offered by video hosting will open. The music library is large enough for everyone to find the sound they want.
What happens if you use music that is not in the YouTube music library
To begin with, it is worth deciding for what purpose the video is being created. If you plan to monetize it, not everything will work. Using music for which you do not have copyright, you risk getting your video or account blocked, so you need to be careful when choosing the music.
For those who post a video from a children's matinee or a mass event, during which, for example, a well-known classical melody sounds, it is difficult to choose another musical arrangement. In most cases, this completely changes the video experience. If you want to monetize a video, an author who has used someone else's music can get additional problems. But if you decide to create a video of your child's performance in school or kindergarten, there is nothing to fear. This video will be banned from monetization or the income will be sent to the benefit of the copyright holder. Your channel will not be affected, and everyone who wishes can watch the video.
How to select music from the library and add to video
In the music library, where the melodies are offered directly by the video hosting, you can choose any track for uploading to the video. Select a song by moving the cursor through the options in the list. Each of them can be listened to and determined if the music is right for you. When a song is selected, it will be embedded in the video automatically.
Adjust the audio volume using the slider. After that, the video can be saved. Save options are available - you can create a new video or simply save over the old one. The updated file will be processed for some time. Then the video can be watched.
