We have the script, video, and audio.
Now you have to find a perfect music for your video,
because music plays very important role in your film,
and music invokes the emotions behind your film's story,
creates a rhythm to scenes and segments,
and comments on the action.
That's why you've to know, how to find the perfect music for your video.
So first you can hire a composer,
who can create a specific music for your video,
but most of the time it's super expensive.
Second you can use a music licensing platform,
and this is a lot cheaper.
Also you've access to thousands of different songs from different artists.
And this video is sponsored by Epidemic Sound.
That doesn't mean I'm obligated to only use their music,
I can use whatever music I want.
But genuinely I always love to use their music service.
They are constantly updating their music library,
and adding new artists to their roster.

So first import your clips to the project panel.
Then click control plus n to open the new sequence settings.
And make a new sequence for your project.
Then find the first clip,
which one you wanted to add the timeline.
Then double click on this clip.
So this will open up a source window,
here we can watch the preview of this clip.
And find the best part of this video you wanted to add the timeline.
Then click on I button to set the in point.
And click O button to set the out point.
Then drag and drop this clip to the timeline.
Then click on keep existing settings,
because my sequence is 1080p,
but my footage resolution is 4K.
Let's zoom in the timeline a little bit.
Again find the second clip which one you wanted to add.
Then double click on it.
And set the in and out point.
And add this clip to the timeline.
Follow the same process,
and add your all footages to the timeline.
Now as you can see my clips doesn't match with my sequence.
So I'm gonna mark all of my clips.
Then right click and select set to frame size.
And my all clips will automatically adjust with my sequence.
Now I don't need these clips audio.
So click control plus L to unlink the audio.
Then just mark the audio layer, and delete them.
Now we need to watch the timeline clips properly,
give your full attention to the video.
So double click on the program window to make it full screen.
And think what type of vibe we can create for this video,
and what's the overall mood in the video.
Watch the weather, it's foggy and little windy.
A happy couple around 60 to 70 years old,
still enjoying their moments and traveling together.
What type of music you want to add for this video.
In my mind I will look for something dreamy,
relaxing and peaceful music.
But everyone has the different taste in music.
Sometimes we need to find out what type of music your video is demanding.
For example I always love to use heavy beats,
and hip hop type music.
Let's play a heavy beats music on this video background.
Hope that you get it, how music can ruin your entire video.
Now let's watch one of my previous video,
where I use the same footages.
And listen the music of this video.
So hope that you get it,
that's how important it is to find a perfect music for your video.
And now let's see how can we find a dreamy,
relaxing and peaceful music for this video.
So first set the in point to the first frame of the sequence.
And set the out point to the end of the last clip.
Then click on the little plus icon under the program window.
Now select the loop playback icon.
Drag and drop this icon here.
And click ok.
Then enable the loop playback by clicking this icon.
So when play to preview the timeline,
this will play continuously from start to end point.
Again double click on the program window to make it full screen.
Then open any web browser on one side.
And keep your program window on the other side.
As always I'll search the music in Epidemic Sound.
For 30 days free trial,
you can check out Epidemic Sound under the description link.
So first we are going to browse.
Then click on moods.
And here as you can see,
they have some playlist by different moods.
So you can easily search your music by specific moods.
For my clips, I'll look for dreamy playlist.
If I can't find it here,
then I'll look for another playlist which one is relaxing.
Here first we need to notice the audio waveform or audio tempo.
As you can see every song has the different type of waveform.
One of the big things that,
I always look for build up waveform,
just like this one.
That's gonna really help your b-roll montages,
or accentuating certain parts of your video.
And now play your video and listen to this music together.
So that we can easily understand,
does this music match with your videos or not?
Not this one.
I need a little more build up.
I love this one.
But I need a little softer beats.
There's another way to narrow down the music list.
Again click on moods.
And I always like to use Epic in any mood.
I love this one.
Let's check out more.
And I need to listen the build up part only.
I love this one also,
and I can make my own playlist here.
So click on the plus icon,
and make a new playlist.
Set a playlist name,
let's call it dreamy.
Now click on save.
And this track it added to this playlist.
So when you're searching for music,
then you should create your own playlist.
So next time if you need some specific music,
then you can check out your own playlist.
Let's listen one more.
I love this track as well,
so I'm gonna add it to my dreamy playlist.
Now go to save to find your playlist.
And I'm gonna download these three tracks.
Now let's see how to add these music to your footage.
So first import your music to the project panel.
Let's close the source tab.
Then add the music to your timeline.
Here is the first thing you've noticed the audio waveform.
You need to find the build up waveform.
For example I want to start the music here.
So I'm gonna make a cut on it.
Delete the left part,
and move the track beginning of the sequence.
Now we need find the second build up part,
where I want to make a mark for the next clip.
So here's the next build up part and the beat start here.
Move the time indicator 1 or 2 frame forward,
from the build up part.
And click on M button to add a marker on the audio track.
Now find the third build up part,
again add a marker on it.
And keep doing it, for as long as you need.
So when it's done, going back to the first marker.
And adjust your clips with these marker.
For first marker I need to extend the first clip a little bit.
Then move to the second marker,
and here I need to delete the right part of the second clip.
Here I am gonna use a shortcut,
which is ripple trim forward.
But you can see it's cut the audio track also.
So we need to lock the audio track.
Here again I'm gonna use the ripple trim shortcut.
And now it's working perfectly.
Adjust all these clips to your audio track marker.
When it's done,
my last step is to color grade my footage
before check out the final preview.
I'm going to use my LUT preset.
Which one is called Cinema.
You can check out these 15 cinematic LUT presets
under the description link.
I've added these 3 music to these clips.
So let's see the preview one by one.
And let me know in the comment section,
which one you think is the perfect music for these clips.
