How to add music to a video
Immerse your viewers in your video with music that complements your message. We’ll show you how to make a video with music using Animoto’s video maker.
Choose a template and add media
Before you choose a song, start your video by adding images and video footage. You can search for content from our Getty Images stock library or upload your own photos and video clips. Then drag and drop your content right into your project.
Pick a song for your video
Every Animoto video comes pre-loaded with a licensed track from our library. To change the song on your video, open the Music Library and start exploring by mood and genre. If you have a song of your own to add to your video, click the Your Music tab to upload your track. Click the blue play button to preview your video with your new song.
Fit the music to your project
Trim your song to find the starting and ending points that best suit your video. If your video is longer than the song, it will automatically loop. Turn that feature on and off by clicking the loop icon.
