Ever found the perfect song for your content, but your video is nearly twice its length? Here’s how you can make music longer and fit perfectly!

As a busy content creator, searching for the best music for your videos needs to be a simple and speedy process. You can sink hours into finding the perfect track that fits the right mood and creates the desired atmosphere. But, you don’t always have time to do that.

So, how frustrating is it when you finally come across the golden egg of songs, the holy grail of music tracks, only to discover it’s 3 minutes too short?

If you’re more into vlogging than creating short form video, you might find you need to use a number of songs to cover the whole video. Once your content gets above the 5-minute mark, it can become more difficult to find tracks that are long enough.

But, if you’d rather use one track that you’ve fallen in love with, as opposed to using a variety, there is a solution!

How to Make Music Longer

Fortunately, you don’t need to be a budding music producer or have a dedicated DAW just to lengthen music. As a video creator, you’ve probably got access to one of the more widely used video editing software, like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

You can use these programmes to adjust songs and make music longer to suit your needs. If you’re worried that sounds quite complicated, it actually isn’t! Plus, there are plenty of helpful videos online to guide you through the process.

If you use Premiere Pro, this video from Editors Keys shows you how you can use Audition to make music the length you want.

This longer and more detailed video from Jason Yadlovski shows you how you can lengthen music in DaVinci Resolve. Rather than relying on automatic processes, like in Audition, you can get a bit more hands on using this method.

If you don’t use either of these editing software, you’re sure to find the right tutorial on YouTube. Never struggle to find the right length piece of music again, and avoid unnecessary compromise!
