Music with Media

MUSIC WITH MEDIA

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great day.  In today's post, I am going to show you some fun apps you can use to add music to your photos and videos.  Again, like other posts, these are all free apps from iTunes and Google Play.






Shuttersong allows you to add music to the photo you would like to post to your social media site such as Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp...  
Though this is a free app, there are in-app purchasing opportunities but I have not seen the necessity.

After making an account (name and password), press the rainbow at the bottom of the screen, and choose if you would like to use an existing photo or take a new photo.  You can then either add music or record your voice.  Using the arrows your can select where in the song you want to use and for how long.  Once you are done, press 'done' and it is now saved to your phone.  I found posting directly from the site a bit confusing.  It was easier to save it to my library and post from there.

On the home button, you can press the clip you just made.  Press the ... and edit or delete if you want.

If you like, you can join a community, get followers, earn points for rewards etc but to be honest, I have other things to do with my time.  :)

This is an easy, fun and unique way to share your photos.

Check out my Instagram account to see the Nutella photo with music I uploaded.

Sounds. app is another app for photos.  This apps gives you free musical choices, ability to choose from Spotify, iTunes store or your own library.

First choose your music then press the Instagram icon.  Press 'Edit and share'.  At the top of the screen, press the camera icon and choose a photo and you are done.  This app allows you to use videos too but you have to 'Invite a friend' first to unlock it.  I have not tried this.

Here is a photo of my dog, Baci, after a long run.

Flipogram allows you to make a slideshow with multiple photos (or a video) and put music behind it.  First press the + icon at the bottom.  Select photos (or video) and press Next.  You can edit speed, add music or voice narration, filters, and post.  Easiest of the bunch!!

Here is a Flipogram I made just before Thanksgiving : Feeling Grateful  and one I made during a beautiful fall run:  Nine Shades of Red

You get the idea...







Audio Video Mixer puts music behind your videos.

Press the + to 'Add video' from your library.  Press Choose, then 'Next and then add music.  Click on 'Merge' and it is now successfully in your phone library to post as you like.

Lots of ads on this site.  Though it is a bit annoying, it has a fun effect.

Check out Shake It Off for a laugh and a demonstration.


Ok, last one for today...





Here is another audio Video Mixer which uses your videos and puts music behind it but also allows you to add some neat effects.

No account needed but like the one above, too many adds that you need to constantly wait for and ignore.

Tap to create a new project, choose portrait (free), click on the video icon to choose a prerecorded video in your library.  Choosing effects is fun but at the same time a bit frustrating because many need the in-app purchase of the upgrade.


Have fun experimenting with your music, photos and videos.
