This article will show you how to add a song to your video in several different ways, including using LightMV and other user&#8217;s music tabs. You&#8217;ll also learn how to trim a song to fit the length of your video. You can also check out some tips for making your TikTok videos more engaging and entertaining!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LightMV\"><\/span>LightMV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can create a video with LightMV with the help of the video editor. This app comes with multiple editable video templates, royalty-free background music, and beautiful video effects. You can also use LightMV to upload photos and video clips, and share them on social networks. To start using LightMV, you can visit the Google Play store or Apple iOS store. After downloading the app, you can follow the steps below to install it.<\/p>\n<p>LightMV is an online video editor, much like a slideshow. It enables you to add music and filters to your videos and export them to different social networks. After you&#8217;ve uploaded your video to your social media accounts, you can add captions, hashtags, and titles to your videos. LightMV also has a mobile version that lets you add music and video effects to your video. The apps are free to download from the respective app markets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TikToks_music_tab\"><\/span>TikTok&#8217;s music tab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to add your own songs to the TikTok music tab, you must first be a verified artist. After you have verified your account, you can add music to your video by going to the &#8220;Music&#8221; tab on your profile page. TikTok allows you to view other users&#8217; songs, create your own, and add favorite tracks to your playlist. You can also upload music to TikTok&#8217;s music tab by contacting the label manager of the artist.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have added some songs to your video, you should edit them. The volume of your original video and the music track can be adjusted if you choose. You can also change the alignment of the music. To edit your music track, click on the scissors icon on the right side of the screen. If you have a longer music track, drag the timeline to the right to change where it starts or left to restart it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_users_music_tab\"><\/span>Other users&#8217; music tab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to create a unique video, you may want to add music or sound effects. On TikTok, you can add music or sound effects by searching for it in the music tab or by genre. You can then tap on the sound or song to insert it into your video. The good news is that you can trim the song or sound to make it shorter or longer. If you don&#8217;t want to use a commercial song, you can use your own music.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to searching for a song, you can also use the sound library to add music snippets. When creating a new video, you can access the sound library by clicking on the plus sign at the bottom of the screen and selecting &#8220;Add sound.&#8221; You can search for specific titles and artists, or you can search for playlists or trending tracks by popular artists. By navigating to the sound library, you can find snippets of any genre.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trimming_a_song_to_fit_into_a_TikTok_video\"><\/span>Trimming a song to fit into a TikTok video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When creating a video for TikTok, you&#8217;ll want to follow a few steps to make sure you don&#8217;t accidentally cut too much off. First, you&#8217;ll need to understand the video&#8217;s duration limit. Typically, videos can last anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds, depending on how many video clips you choose to use. To make sure you don&#8217;t go over the limit, you can use a time-based editing tool to check each frame individually. Make sure to use a high-quality video, since low-quality videos may appear grainy or fuzzy.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve selected the clip you want, you can then upload it to TikTok. Unlike YouTube, TikTok videos are not long enough to contain an entire song. To keep the duration under fifteen seconds, you can simply cut parts of the song. For example, if the song is 60 seconds long, you&#8217;ll have to cut it into four or five seconds. If the song is longer, you can make two separate clips, one of which will be the longer one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_your_own_music\"><\/span>Adding your own music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are using the TikTok app, you may have noticed that you can add your own music to your video. Although there are already millions of songs available on the app, you can add a new song to the app by dragging the audio clip to the desired section. You can also copy and paste music from another video to make it your own. But how do you add your own music to TikTok?<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find a royalty-free music library and license the music. TikTok has a partnership with Epidemic Sound, which offers music and sound libraries for their users. However, you cannot use this music on any other platform without first obtaining the appropriate rights. If you want to use music from Epidemic Sound, you can use their 30-day free trial. If you are going to use your own music on TikTok, you&#8217;ll need to edit the video in another app first.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"211\" width=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VKfwY5w4igU\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add Music to a TikTok Video If you&#8217;re wondering how to add music to a TikTok video, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
