YouTube and Google Video are two of the popular websites for video sharing, but there are also a slew of other sites where users can upload videos they create or videos they want to share, such as Metacafe and DailyMotion. Now, how do you go about adding music to the videos you upload to these sites? Read on to learn how you can do this in just several simple steps.

There is a plethora of software out there that can be used to add music to videos, such as Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. But of course, not all users can afford to purchase programs like these, especially as they are geared more toward the professional user. But the regular or casual user need not despair! The good news is that there is a very useful tool that comes free with Windows, with no additional software purchases needed. Windows Movie Maker is a simple video editing application that is installed by default on Windows machines. This tool makes adding music and editing videos a breeze. Just run it and you're good to go!

So how exactly do you add music to a video clip? It's actually pretty simple. Here's a guide to help you get started with adding music to your videos.

Run Windows Movie Maker, and open a new project.
Click File, and then Import into Collections (alternatively, just press "Ctrl+I") to import the media files (videos, music, images).
Once the files are imported, you simply drag them onto the timeline utilized by Movie Maker (at the bottom part of the window).


Using the timeline, users can conveniently add visual effects (such as fade-in effects) to the video, which is located on the "Video" bar.
To add music to the current video, simple drag the appropriate music file to the "Audio/Music" bar. Using the timeline allows the user to adjust when the music will start, or synchronize it with video. You can also set the music fade in or fade out, in addition to setting volume levels (in case you want it to play more in the background)
Users also have the option to add narration to the video, if they have a microphone connected to their system.
Once the music has been added, you simply save the project (usually as a new video file) in the format of your choosing.


YouTube works with a lot of video formats, and some of the most common are .AVI files (which might be the same file type as your source video), although YouTube allows users to upload other popular video file types, such as .WMV, .MOV, MPEG, .MP4, DivX, .FLV, and .OGG files.

Once you have saved the project, you are now ready to upload your new video, with your own choice of music, to the video sharing site of your choice!

Adding music to your YouTube videos and videos for other sites is actually a whole lot simpler than you used to think. With a simple and easy-to-use tool, any Windows user can easily add music to their videos.

Wedding Videography: How to Make Homemade Wedding Videos

Have you ever joined a wedding celebration? If you have, then definitely you will agree that this occasion has many wonderful memories. The venue is spectacular, almost dreamy. The food is great. The ceremony is solemn. The reception is a blast. The messages for the newly weds are very warm and touching. The kiss, the dance, the exchanging of vows and the act of marriage itself is very romantic. All these things are worth keeping for, worth remembering and worth documenting.

People nowadays have various ways to keep these memories alive. One is through photos. Second is by remembering. Third is through videos. Among all three, the magic of video has given a different level of making wedding celebration alive, may it be years from now. If you have not hired a professional to do this for you on your wedding day, then you can have someone from the family do it for you with a simple use of camcorder.

A camcorder will do if you do not intend to hire a service to cover your wedding. Although it is a fact that videographers have high tech devices nowadays, but if you cannot afford it, you have your wedding videography done in a traditional way. Any member of the family can do it for you just as long as your equipment can capture a minimum of 30 frames per second.

Once everything is finished, you can actually edit it and add background music or captions to the videos. However, first things first: you have to have a port on your computer to allow you to transfer these files. These ports will allow cable connectors for your camcorders to be attached to the PC so that your computer can recognize the device. If it is a USB connector, then that should not be a problem. However, certain camcorders might require a special video card to be recognized.

The next thing to do is to ensure that you have the installer for your camcorder. This will allow your PC to communicate with your device. They are usually called drivers. If it is not installed in your PC, your PC will automatically request it once it has been recognized by the system. After being installed, you are ready for transferring files.

However, your video outputs may not be as wonderful as professionals do it. Most of them are equipped with software built for editing videos. If you want to have this edge then make sure you have a software that allows you to add music, effects and texts to your home made wedding videography. You can edit it on your own if you think you are well versed when it comes to computer software. Just one more thing, make sure that this software is workable with the type of format your videos have.

Once you have finished doing the editing, you can save it on your hard drive for future viewing. You can do this if you have a lot of space in your computer. You can also save it in CDs or DVDs but just remember it becomes playable in the kind of players that you have at home.

Summary

Do not fret if you have not hired a professional videographer to do the job for you. If you have a personal camcorder and someone who knows how to operate it, you are good to go. However, if you want more for your videos get software and edit them to make them more exciting.

How Do You Add Music Videos From Your Hard Drive to Your IPod?

How Do You Add Music Videos From Your Hard Drive to Your IPod?

a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leannes/1624583097/"target="new">"My iPod Family by LeanneLand, on Flickr">

Author Resource: Amy Nutt. Searching for http://www.muchmusic.com music videos online? Come check out the largest collection of music videos online featuring all of the most popular artists and bands, such as http://www.muchmusic.com/music/artists/index.asp?artist=248 Nickelback. Article provided by Published-Articles.com



Getting a music video that you have saved on your computer's hard drive on to your new iPod is not as simple as you might think. Apple has done an excellent job of making it difficult to put non iTunes products onto their devices. The goal, of course, is to force you to buy your videos from iTunes and increase their bottom line, but there are, of course, ways around this problem. You just need some specific software and a little bit of patience.

The Specs

The first step towards getting that music video onto your iPod is making sure it is in the right specs. The iPod supports MOV, M4V, and MP4 formats, and the video must be no more than 768 Kbps, 30 fps, and 320 by 240 pixels. If your video has an audio track, it must be AAC LC and must be 160 Kbps or smaller. If you downloaded the video off of the Internet, it is probably in the correct format, although some downloads are WMV format. However, if the video came from a video sharing site, you may have a video that is in MPG or AVI format. You are going to have to encode the video to use on your iPod.

Encoding the Video

You will need to use QuickTime 7.0.3 (or a later version) as the codec to code your video. This is available to download for free from the Apple website. It may take quite a while to encode the video, so if it is a large file, you may want to let it work overnight, or your computer will be out of commission for a while.

The File Transfer Using QuickTime Pro

One of the easiest ways to get the video to your iPod is to use QuickTime Pro. It combines the codec you need with a simple uploading interface that makes it easy to get the file into iTunes and onto your iPod. This program works with Windows or Mac. It is not free, however, but it is the easiest to use. You will pay $30 for it, and you will have to pay $30 again when Apple upgrades the program.

With QuickTime Pro, all you need to do to upload the video is open the movie, select "file" and then export, and choose the option for Movie to iPod. The program will then automatically create a 320 by 240 M4V file with the correctly coded audio tract and place it on your desktop. The default settings in the program work well for most music videos, but you can fine tune them if you want to change the way the video displays.

There are other third party programs you can use to convert the video to the correct file format, but this one works the best. If you are going to try a free program, be sure to practice with a small video first to make sure there are no bugs in the program.

Getting the Video onto the iPod

Once the video is converted to the correct file format, you will need to import it to iTunes. To do this, open iTunes, choose "Movies" and choose "File" and then Import. Select the movie, click on it once, and select Advanced, Convert Selection for iPod. This will create a new file in your iTunes library. Once the new file is there, simply sync your iPod with iTunes the video will download to the device.

If you do all of these steps and find that the file has no sound, there is a problem with the original music video file. This is called having a muxed sound file. If the format on the original video is MPEG1 Muxed or MPEG2 Muxed, it will not play sound on your iPod. The only fix is to find a third party application that can convert this file to an AAC LC file.

Don't Make It Too Long - You must remember that people have a very short attention span, especially those on the internet. Your video needs to be able to get to the point in a short period of time. Try to keep your video under 3 minutes. Anything past that, you are risking losing the attention of the viewer. Avoid rambling, to make your video longer. It is ok if your video is only a minute long just as long as you got your point across

Connect Your Website To It - It's almost a give in that you need to put your website address in the video, but be sure to put your website address in the description part of the video (if applicable). Don't be afraid to say the name of you website once or twice throughout you video. Make it as easy as possible to get the viewer to your site.

Selling Wholesale Video Games Online: Is It Worth It?

Selling Wholesale Video Games Online: Is It Worth It?

Author Resource: Joaquin Reveron  Finding Wholesale Video Games online is one of the business components Joaquin serves as reference source, e-commerce coach and certified author. His focus today is assisting people receive extra income through the acquirement of an in-demand Wholesale List
Article FromPublished-Articles.com

I would like to keep being realistic for the majority of us when it comes to times like this and making an excellent living on the internet from recessionary times. Most likely you are in a state of shock, scared or highly stressed. These combinations of words bring one common effect, this is the effect and symptom of fear.

It is important that you guard yourself now more than ever when it comes to your mind and way of thinking. Not tomorrow, not next week, little less not next year; symptoms of fear need to be handled and corrected if you or yours are to positively improve if you are too start a business in a recession. There are excellent advantages and as always there are the cons as outcome.

Competition being asleep is one of the best advantages for you no matter what industry you decide to go into and having just too many options to choose might be a caused for temporary paralyzes like it did for me years ago when I started. Set yourself with a diagnostic of your current desires and then really understand the following facts.

Whether you are planning to sell wholesale video games, a list or variety of wholesale merchandise on popular-high-traffic websites without having the need to start your own web store, make a decision on what you would like to sell when if it happens to be video games. The video games industry has numerous options to sell in micro-niches.

Whether you just want to make extra money because you have had a steady job or are looking at a resale venture in long term visions, make a complete diagnostic of your current overall ends and make a conclusion to know if the results you see would be satisfying at the end. By the way, trust me, the short term satisfaction of explaining in detail to a website designer on how you want to structure items and materials in your site will not be pleasure most of the time, you might associate with raw broccoli at the beginning, but it is the long term satisfaction that bring the best feeling of satisfaction.

So keep all of this in mind when you start your own internet business. We can then begin by asking ourselves what we want to sell on the internet. Wholesale video games bring good ROI when it comes to the sale of video games or accessories.

Know that it takes hard and intelligent work to start a successful e-commerce web store. Like my thinking; it might also remind you of women. Details are just as important! So starts determined and keep in your project until you finished it.

But then it needs to be re-confirmed once again. The notion of a descent $100,000 per year income with instant systems or anything else that you see advertised in many search engines that sub-conciously raises your B.S speedometer will just be as you are thinking, fallacy.

If you do not know how to make a dollar out a twenty five cents investments, this is one reason. If you do not know how to FTP your material to the web or have a clear sense of direction, this will be yet another delusional type of thinking. Listening to the wrong people will also be a factor to your starting success, remember this facts.

So if you want to offer and successfully sell merchandise, especially, if it relates to the resale of games; knowing that it takes money to make money when it comes to the video games industry is just a truthful statement, it is a fact! You may not need a lot of money, but you do need some start-up money.
Reasons of this being, you need to build a website! The construction of your own website will be one of the most important steps you take upon deciding to commit to your profitable projects.

Most importantly, with the amount of competition available in video games, as there is big money to be made in so many tangible micro-niches, know that you do need to invest money in order to have a website that stands out and looks professional. If good old fashioned layman terms; if your website structure and design sucks, it is very likely your visitors will leave in less than 30 seconds. Associate your presentation with the word professionalism, so that you have a great chance of having business right now or when you had finished your website.

Whether selling any of the wide lists of wholesale options of merchandise, not limited to video games, of course, it would most of the time be worth it when you structure strategic planning for years, and not for quick few months or a year. Many of us speak and walk the talk with hundreds of published articles to clearly validate our statements when there is a need, but offering wholesale video games specifically whether it is on auctions or preferably, on your own web store, the worthiness would most often come from long term feeling of enjoyment in what you are doing and from strategic long term planning.

Best of all, you do not need to be the clone of Einstein to makes hundreds of dollars worth of product sales! As starting or ending notes for you, take care of yourself and always do what it takes to make the correct business decisions, there is a lot more to definitely be learned.
