Adding Music (Animoto Memories - legacy tool)

Hi there! This article is about Animoto Memories, our original slideshow creation tool. As a company we've decided to focus our energy on making updates and improvements to our newest offering, Animoto 3. That just means there won’t be any new updates or changes to Animoto Memories going forward.If you love using Animoto Memories though, we will always be here to support you if you have any questions!

To choose a music soundtrack for your Animoto Memories slideshow video, click Change Song. You can upload your own audio track, or choose one from our library of licensed music.

 

Using the Animoto music library

The Animoto music library has over 2,000 licensed song tracks. Click Browse Full Library to get started.

When you view our full library, the list can be sorted alphabetically by title, artist, genre, or track length. Click the title of the column to sort the songs. You can also mark your songs as favorites and view them in the "Favorites" list later by clicking the heart icon next to the song.

Uploading your own music

To use your own music, choose the UPLOAD SONG option and select the file you want to add to your project. We accept mp3, AAC, and m4a files. Your music file can be up to 20mb in size and between 5 seconds and 20 minutes in length. See our media upload guidelines.

Note: When using music that is not from the Animoto library the copyright licensing can vary so be sure to check that you have the right permissions to share it and use it publicly!
