Tips on bringing background music into your project in PowerDirector

Background music is critical for most projects. With PowerDirector 365 you can incorporate background music from various sources into your project. We demonstrate how some of these resources work and how they differ as you selected the best background music as a video editor.

Thanks, I was hoping you would cover this sometime!

Glad I was able to show something that fits an interest of yours. --Jim

I used the built-in music a few years ago and got a copyright hit on KZbin. I now use Epidemic Sound and never have a problem. Any idea if these are properly tagged for copyright clearance?

[@mark_barrentine]

Same happened to me a while back. I had to protest by sending a copy of the Cyberlink Licensing. YT then removed the copyright claim against the video.

That happened to me once as well. I suspect clearances will occasionally be an issue. It's no fun, but I don't want to avoid using potentially beneficial resources out of fear I'll have to push back. --Jim

Thank you for this. When I preview SoundStripe files, playback adds a terrible stutter which renders the preview nearly useless. I opened up a ticket with Cyberlink but so far I've not been able to correct it. This only happens with SoundStripe files. Have you ever noticed this?

I tried a new audio clip from SoundStripe and did not experience the issue that you did. Hopefully the technicians at Cyberlink will have an idea what caused the problem you are dealing with. --Jim

Some of these audio files will give you a copyright hit on KZbin, its not a strike but none the less. If I recall correctly, it is the soundstream files that show up as copyright. I don't think the files listed under cyberlink have this issue.

Thanks for alerting us to this. Wish these clearances were bullet-proof. --Jim
