Adding Polished Music Beds to LumaFusion

Music beds are instrumental tunes designed to enhance your content, whether you're making a video, recording a podcast or broadcasting over the radio waves. In this video, Caroline explains why it's vital to put thought and energy into the process of choosing a music bed, and gives you her advice on editing them with precision!

Thanks for pointing out switching to “Primary” for voice overs.

[@LumaTouch]

No worries! Worth noting that if you record your voiceover within Lumafusion itself, the clip will automatically be set to primary!

Please there should be a compress option while editing for smooth playback on android

How did you add the animation that counts from 1 to 8 in your video. I am a Dance teacher and would like to add this to my videos. Thanks in advance.

Hi there--there are at least two different ways to add a countdown like this. The first (and likely the best choice for counting down music for a dance instruction video) is to create an overlay title and style it the way you like, which includes a number (here Caroline has placed a circle shape, given it a color and a border, then popped a number into the text).
Now you can duplicate that Overlay Title Clip as many times as you need counts, and then use the audio waveform to determine the start of each beat you wish to count, and carefully align the beginning of each of these clips with the beat it's marking. Then, double tap on a clip, and in the Text Editor, change the number to match the count. Do this for each, and you'll have your count!
Once you've done it a time or two, it's quicker to do than to describe, but if this isn't clear, please give our Support team a shout, and we'll do our best to make it easy for you: lumatouch.co/support (tap 'email Support').
Another way to build a countdown (in cases where you need a second-by-second countdown timer), would be to use one of the dozens of Storyblocks clips that include countdowns and clocks of various shapes and styles. Good stuff.
If that doesn't quite make it click for you, please reach out to our Support teams, where we'll get you some 1:1 on it: lumatouch.co/support (tap 'email Support'). Happy editing!

If a music bed needs a small adjustment to fit you can change its speed.
But beware music beds are overused and often annoying for viewers

Indeed! Like everything, use in moderation ;) Caroline
