Full:

Add music to my art timelapse video.
Music: ambient or lo-fi, no drop needed.
Pacing: one speed, 30x to 120x.
Let the track run under the whole video at one level.
Start the track on the first frame and line the end of the track up with the finished piece.
Use the track I uploaded called "[file name]".
Fade out over the last 2 seconds. No sound effects.

Why these settings

The track direction comes from our art timelapse video page.
This format is one take at one speed, so the track only needs a start and an end.
Naming a file you uploaded stops it from picking from the library.
"No sound effects" keeps it from adding extras you didn't ask for.

Fixes

Wrong mood. "Something slower, around 80 BPM, piano, no drums."
Track starts mid-phrase. "Start the track from its beginning and trim the end."

FAQ

What music fits an art timelapse video? Ambient or lo-fi, no drop needed. Describe the mood in the prompt or upload the exact track.
