You might believe that the music in a video is the last thing added when the video is edited, but that isn’t the case. Music is actually one of the first things you think of during the planning stage, because it helps set the mood for the video you’re producing. Even music that isn’t designed to be ‘heard’ is often used to help determine where to make a cut. The length of the song you choose can also affect the length of your video, and if you want to use the full song, be sure you shoot enough footage to fill that time frame. So, for your next video project be sure to have a few songs in mind before you start filming or talk to us about what you’re going for and we’ll help you find music that’s royalty-free and fits your vision.
