Questions about background music for videos
Can I use background music for videos from here on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram?
Yes, tracks made on a paid plan or credit pack can go on all three, monetized channels included. Please don’t register them in Content ID.
Can background music for videos be an exact length?
Not straight from the generator: the model sets the length, and the four tracks above run 1:09 to 2:20. Download the MP3 and cut it to the second with the free Audio Cutter.
What file is the background music for videos?
An MP3 that drops into any editor, such as Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
Will the background music cover my voice in the video?
Ask for “minimal” or “no lead melody”, then turn the music down under speech in your editor.
Does background music for videos loop?
Tracks aren’t made to loop. For a long video, make two or three in the same style and join them with a fade.
Which background music for videos fits a cooking video?
Warm and playful, with acoustic guitar and light percussion, like “Sunday Kitchen”. Its two takes ran at 152 and 99 BPM, so pick the pace of your cuts.
How do I match background music for videos to the pace of my edit?
Write “slow”, “steady” or “upbeat” in the description, then measure the track with the free BPM Finder and cut on the beat.
