Enhance your Videos with a Soundtrack

The soundtrack to your video is often vitally important. It can really set the tone for your movie. It conveys happiness, inspiration, emotions in your viewer! It can make your video even more exciting and get more viewers. However when your are editing your video you can't upload any track you like for fear it may be subject to copyright and if you re uploading it on you-tube it's in danger of being disabled. So how do we solve this problem? Well we wanted to give you a few tips and links that may help all you Shotclippers editing your video online with us!

Incompetech  Is a royalty free music website where you can download original music with a by creative commons licence  but don't forget to credit where you got it from! 

Jamedo  is another awesome free music website that has thousands of tracks and tells your clearly the kind of licence the track has! 

If you don't mind spending a little bit to get exactly what you need FriendlyMusic lists tracks by mood and 
Rumblefish have plenty of tracks and they won't break the bank either!  

You can also try YouTube's feature AudioSwap will let you add the music they have listed as licensed songs.

If you are in anyway musical of course the best way is to get totally creative and make your own soundtrack!  If you play an instrument but no audio recording software there are options available. Audacity is a free music recording software. For amateur Video makers who want to use their own soundtrack this could be a great way to get started recording your own.  

We love creativity and collaboration at ShotClip!We hope you get some ideas from this on how to use great audio that is affordable or even better FREE to make even better ShotClip videos! 

Happy Editing!
