You are about to edit the first video clip in your life, you have already selected the song that you want to use. Keep in mind that only musical compositions created more than 50 years ago can be used for free - they belong to the Common Human Cultural Heritage. In all other cases, copyright law applies. And in order to use someone's song or melody, you will need to buy this right from the author himself or the record company representing his interests.
Necessary
captured video, music, nonlinear editing system, computer
Instructions
Step 1
A video clip can require a lot of visual editing effects, so use a professional non-linear video editing system (like Adobe Premier Pro).
Step 2
Edit the image in accordance with the rhythm and dynamics of the composition itself. At the same time, avoid direct coincidences of rhythm and frame changes, at least do not overuse such "obvious combinations".
Step 3
If the clip is not built as a set of visual images, but as a small film, that is, it has a plot, edit based on the beginning and end of musical phrases. Combine the beginning of each new scene with a new phrase.
