Pink NoiseTips for vlog music
- Duck it when you talk
- When you're talking to camera, bring the music down to a hint of mood. On your most important line, let it drop out completely.
- Let B-roll breathe
- For B-roll, walking shots and montages with no talking, turn the music up and cut your shots on the beat.
- Let the sound lead
- When the scene changes, bring the next track in half a second to a second before the picture, or let the last one run a little past the cut. These J-cuts and L-cuts feel smoother than hard cuts.
- Change tracks every few minutes
- Two or three minutes per track is plenty. A new location or a change of mood is the natural moment to switch.
- Don't chop the ending
- Fade out over 2 or 3 seconds on your last shot, or line it up with the track's final chord, instead of stopping mid-phrase.
- Pick by video type
- Travel videos suit bright acoustic guitar, daily vlogs suit relaxed electric piano beats, and cooking videos suit jazzy piano and bass.
A note for YouTube channels
You can use these tracks on monetized channels. We haven't registered them in Content ID, YouTube's copyright matching system, and our license doesn't let anyone else register them, so normally no one will claim your videos over this music or take a cut of your ad revenue. If you still get a copyright claim, the copyright claims page walks you through it step by step.
Other creators may use the same tracks. To give your channel its own sound, keep a couple of tracks as your regular intro and outro, and vary the background music in between.
Vlog music questions
Can I use it in monetized YouTube videos?
Yes, commercial use is included, sponsored videos too. If you ever get a copyright claim, follow the steps on the copyright claims page.
Do I need to credit the music in my description?
It isn't required, but we appreciate it. A line like Music: track name (track ID) from casper.tw/free-music/ is plenty.
How many tracks should one video use?
There's no rule. A 10 minute vlog with 3 to 5 tracks, changing between sections, usually keeps a good pace.
How do I make a track longer?
Place it twice in your editor with a crossfade of a few seconds, or follow it with a track in a similar style.
