Create Your Song

Next, you'll need to create a custom song (that's where we come in!). Choose your Package and you'll have your own custom song/jingle in no time!

Upload Your Custom Song

If you want to use a custom song for your vides on Instagram/Facebook, there are a couple of ways to onboard for future videos. When you use Biz Beat AI, you'll receive an mp3 file and an mp4 static lyric video of your song. You can either use an app on your device to edit the desired video and add in the music, or you can simply create a reel with the statis lyric video to get your song in the system. We recommend the first option, using an app to edit a video and include the music (try InShot).

When you upload the video, be sure to edit the name of your original song to something memoriable and catchy.


If you forget this step before your post it, you can always edit the name by clicking on the audio and rename under the menu (you'll get one opportunity to edit the name...Just once, so check spelling and make sure if is representative and you and the song, i.e. Biz Beat AI Jingle")

Step 3: Add the Song to Another Reel

Once you have uploaded your custom song, you can now add it to your Reel. When creating your video, simply select the custom song from your music library and overlay it onto your video. This will sync the song with your Reel, creating a personalized and engaging experience for your viewers.


Step 4: Edit and Share Your Reel

After adding the custom song to your Reel, you can further edit your video by adding effects, filters, and text to enhance the visual appeal. Once you are satisfied with the final result, you can share your Reel on Instagram or Facebook for your friends and followers to enjoy.
