Music Video Director
Read full descriptionHide full description
If you want to record video with background music, to add video effects and audio effects to the music or even change the speed of the song then you have found the right app for the task. Music Video Director combines video and audio processing so music video recordings can be made in real time with audio and video effects applied with one tap. You can select song from your device and play it as background while recording the video. You can add and combine audio effects, use the song or even change the song speed while playing. At the same time microphone input can be on or off and changed during the recording so the song can be paused while talking and then restarted or you can talk or sing over the song. Just use headphones in that case to prevent song audio coming back into the microphone. There is a warning when the microphone is on. The app is available for free with some limited features like limited time of recording to 20 seconds. Music Video Director is a great app for content creators but everyone can make good use of it by adding good song to the video you are making. It is very fun to use.
