Add a personal touch to your music
Want to use your own song or instrumental piece? Upload your media files to your dashboard and add your music to the video for free. You can create anything from short videos of your childhood memories to heartfelt birthday greetings for your loved ones. You can even create your own music edit by adding sound to GIFs or clips from your gallery.
Don't let the music end abruptly
Once you've added music to your video, you can give it a professional finish. Play the audio at the right moment, blend it together, adjust the volume, and use fades for smooth transitions. You can also layer different audio tracks to maintain the energetic feel of your YouTube vlog or tug at your audience's heartstrings with the sweetest melodies in your TikTok video.
