Tips for Adding Spotify Music to Videos

When choosing Spotify songs for your CapCut videos, keep these tips in mind:

1. Select instrumental or no-lyric tracks: Songs without vocals make it easier to hear your video narration.
2. Trim the song to fit your edit: Use CapCut's trim tool to adjust the song's length.
3. Lower music volume: reduce the audio track volume so it enhances but doesn't overpower the video.
4. Match the song's mood: Pick a track that fits the overall feeling and narrative of your video.
5. Mind the copyright: Avoid songs with heavy copyright restrictions for monetized videos.
6. Use similar songs: Pick songs that have a cohesive feel or flow for a consistent sound.

Avoiding Muted Videos on Export

Some songs with copyright restrictions may get your CapCut video muted or blocked when you export it. Here are some ways to avoid this:

• Use podcasts, audiobook snippets, or copyright-free music instead.
• Seek explicit approval from the artist to use their Spotify song in your video.
• Mute the problematic audio before exporting if you're unsure about the copyright.
• Export a version with alternate audio to test restrictions before publishing.

Conclusion

Adding Spotify music can take your CapCut videos to the next level. Importing songs is straightforward on both iPhones and Android devices. Use instrumental tracks that complement your video's tone and trim songs to fit the length. Just be mindful of copyrights and avoid heavily restricted songs to prevent muting. With the right audio, your CapCut edits will engage and captivate your viewers!
