This post discusses how to add your own music to TikTok videos to create videos with music on Tik Tok. You all know TikTok is all about music. If you are new to this app and want to make your own videos, you need to know how to add music and blend it with videos. This tutorial will show you how, so read this article to the end.
You have two ways to make a TikTok video. You can film them within the app and publish them directly or create them separately and upload them. Both are quite simple to do; the creative side of the process is what’s hard!
Creating videos on TikTok has its own advantages as this app has a huge music library for you to use. All of them are available for use in the app and can be freely synced or edited as per your requirement. You can also use your own music that is loaded onto your phone to join the videos you create.
Making videos outside of TikTok is also easy, but you have to provide your own music. The advantage here is that you can edit with more freedom on the computer than on the phone. It is even more true if you know your way around an audio editing suite.
How to Add Music to TikTok Videos
Assuming you already have music on your phone, you just need the TikTok app, an account, and a bit of free time. One of the neatest things about TikTok is the simple lip-syncs. Once you have memorized the words in the song and have a copy of it, you just need a mirror and a little practice. If you can add some creative creations to that video while you’re recording, all the better!

How to Add Your Own Music to TikTok

You will no longer be limited to the TikTok library which can give your videos its own signature to help you get more followers and fans.
BeeCut is a video editor which can be used to put your own music in TikTok videos. Available for both desktop and app, it’s a very useful tool that supports videos in 9:16 aspect ratio – aka the ratio TikTok supports. BeeCut is not only useful for adding music, it can also be used to add special effects, filters, slow down videos, speed up videos, add stickers, and much more.
Download BeeCut from the download button below or by downloading the app on your Android device or OS. The app is called “LightMV,” which is the app’s version of BeeCut’s software.

2. Under “File,” select “New Project“then select”9:16 (Portrait)” to start editing your video.

The mechanics of creating videos and adding music on TikTok are very easy, but timing is everything, and to get started, you need to adjust the audio and video timings to match.
You can also use various effects, like Beauty effect with wand which can smooth your skin, remove dark areas, and generally make you look good. Color filters to add different colors to the overall feel of the video. Lenses to choose a mask or Snapchat-like effect. Speed control to speed up or slow down video elements for comedic effect. To make your photos and videos look better, you can even play with lighting tools.
You can also adjust the audio level in your video after you finish recording. If you think the soundtrack is too loud, you can use the slider to lower the volume a bit.
Then there are special effects. This change is due to the app being updated but may include all kinds of neat filters and timing effects. Experiment to see if there’s anything you like. After this, you can then add a cover image which will act as a thumbnail on TikTok. This can be anything, including a still image from a video or a completely separate image.
Red Thread | As I said earlier, video recording is actually the easy part. Practicing and generating new ideas and then editing your video is something that takes creativity and time. The more time you put in and the more you practice, the better for a smooth finish and the more likely you are to gain an audience once you post it to TikTok.
