You might as well call this technique a magic trick.This is one of the most frustrating situations to be in when working in post: You've got your video—it's beautiful, it's gorgeous, and it's longer than the duration of your music track. But no worries, there's a solution. You just have to figure out a way to extend it. So you go in, find somewhere in the song that can not only be easily looped but can also give you enough playtime to make all of the effort worth it. Then you do this again, and again, and again until your music track is as long as your video, finishing it off with a little crossfade to hide the cut.

Five million hours later you've got a pretty decent loop of your desired music and all it cost you was a little bit of your soul.Back when I was editing videos on the regular, I did this exact process constantly, not knowing that there was a better way. But there is, and it's super simple and super fast and Peter McKinnon demonstrates it in the tutorial below. This is very cool. That said, it's not always a good idea to have music play constantly, don't you think?

Choosing moments without music, and choosing multiple music cues to reflect a change in thought/location/idea, is very helpful, I think. You signal to the audience that there's a new thought or moment when a new cue starts, or the music stops/starts, and you give the audience a kind of sonic break by not having wall-to-wall music. That said, this is a fascinating feature - I'm curious to try it out!November 1, 2017 at 7:56AM.
