How do you add music to a video?

How do you add music to videos with the Flip Video?

• I'm just learning how to use my flip video and I have a few questions about it. 1) How do you add music from itunes to the videos -I click "upload your own music" but when I get into the files it will not let me download the music from itunes. Is there a way to save the music to a different file that will let me upload them? 2) The video clips fade into one another. How can I stop it from doing this? - When I put the videos together to make a full-length movie, each clip "fades into the next one. It looks weird and cuts off some of the sound and dialogue at the end of the video. I have checked the options to see if there are different choices to prevent this, but I can not find it. 3) Is there any way to upload videos from the flip onto Windows movie maker? - Is there a special file to save it under so I can use that movie maker instead of the program provided by flip? Thank you!!!!!!

• Answer:

  You will need to convert your video first before it will work in Movie Maker. The link below has many, some are free. Some music titles are copy-right protected so you may or may not be able to copy them to your videos. As far as fades and transitions, MM will allow you to choose different ones and the timing. MM is pretty basic but if you want to really get into editing, then buy a more featured video editor then you'll have more things you can do and you won't have to always convert your video first. MM only supports the following: Video files: .asf, .avi, .wmv Movie files: MPEG1, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2 Audio files: .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff Windows Media files: .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv Still images: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif MP3 format audio: .mp3
