A beautifully designed film with a nice off-screen melody can be a good gift for any occasion. Moreover, making a video at home is not so difficult: the main thing is to find a suitable program for yourself. And there are many of them.
Best Windows Movie Maker Assistant
Many video editors can be used to add a music file to a video clip. Among them, the most popular among both beginners who are just learning video editing and among professionals is the Windows Movie Maker application. The advantage of the program is its availability, since it is part of the standard assembly of the Windows operating system, ease of use, user-friendly and intuitive interface and versatility. With Windows Movie Maker, making your own movie is easy, and with the AutoFilm function, video-making is a matter of a few mouse clicks.
In Windows Movie Maker, when you create a music movie, you can add photos and videos at the same time, both from your computer and capture them directly from your camera.
To start working with the program, launch the application. On the left side of the working window in the "Operations with the movie" menu in the first section "Video recording" find the items "Import video", "Import images", "Import music". Add the files you want to the project, then drag and drop them onto the media storyboard. To add a music file to your video, switch the timeline view from storyboard to timeline. However, when you drag a melody, the program can automatically switch to the desired mode, which will immediately appear in a notification window.
If necessary, you can trim the music by moving the slider to the left, or add some more audio files.
Add the necessary transitions, video effects, and titles and credits to the project. Then, in the preview window (it is located on the right side of the desktop "desktop" of the program) evaluate the final result and proceed to recording the finished film.
Not just Nero
It is equally easy to add off-screen background music in one of the Nero applications - Nero Vision or Nero Vision Xtra (later versions). To make a musical film with Nero, start the program, in the main menu in the "Video" section, select "Create your own disc") or its separate application (in some cases it can be installed separately). Then, on the right side of the working window, check the "Create movie" item and go to a new page. Here you will need to add photo or video files, if necessary, you can combine them, musical accompaniment and transfer it to the storyboard scale. The program has hints that accompany almost every step of yours, so there shouldn't be any difficulties in mastering it.
Photo DVD Maker Professional
Photo DVD Maker Professional is another tool that lets you add music to your photo clip. At the same time, you can choose as a musical screen saver both a part of the song, cutting it out using the built-in audio editor, and the entire melody. In this case, the duration of the frames will be set automatically. You will only need to click the "Synchronize" button. The finished film can be burned to disk, saved in a format for viewing on portable devices, and also posted on your social network page for online viewing.
