How will you make YouTube video?
YouTube is home to nearly every piece of music in the world, most of it uploaded by fans across the world with simple pictures as accompaniment. Putting together the video is easy and only requires that you have pictures, the music file, and simple video editing software.
Pick a song for which you want to make a video. You need to have a copy of the song already on your computer in order to make your video. If you do not have the music file, you can buy it or download it online.
Determine what kinds of pictures you want to include. Common pictures include album artwork, shots of the band playing music, hanging out, and at live shows, and images that relate to the words currently being sung. You can even choose to put lyrics up as they're sung in certain moments. There is no wrong series of pictures to put up, but you should think about what the song says to you and how you want to portray it.
- The most popular videos have photos that fit seamlessly with the music being played. Think of a theme or story in advance that you want to tell.
- You can use pictures from your own life or those found online. Know, however, that it is illegal to profit off of someone else's work, so you cannot charge people for the music video unless the pictures and song are all your own
Download all of the photos into a dedicated folder. Make a folder labeled "Music Video" on your desktop. As you find photos, pull them into this folder. If everything is in the same place, to begin with, your life will be much easier in the future. Good places to find photos include: - Stock photography sites.
- Your own collections.
- Online image searches.
- The musician's bio or photo page.
Open a video editing program and import your song. You can use almost any video editing software you want, from Windows MovieMaker and iMovie to Avid and Final Cut, as these videos are simple and can be handled by most software. You can even use the most recent version of Powerpoint on Open Office, which can save presentations as movies. Click and drag your song into the timeline to determine the length of your video and then upload your video.
