Adding Music to Video and Sharing

What is most interesting to us at Musicinfo is the video editing features. Not only can you adjust your “beauty” settings in real time, add text, stickers, and themed filters; You can add music! Music is listed in themed categories that users can choose from and add to their video.

With most Chinese music and video streaming and online applications there is the social aspect, an easily accessible community for you to share content and follow people built into the service. You can comment and share content much like any social media without leaving the app. Or in some cases there is a complementing app that will allow you to do so.

Meipai, also from the same creators as Meitu XiuXiu, is a video app where you can create short plays. Meipai has many features that allow you to use and share your video that you created in Meitu. Unfortunately for Western users it is not available outside China but good for Musicinfo artists’ music as this would create copyright conflict if it were. Meipai hosts and tracks the music it utilizes it pays back surprising amounts and has become one of Musicinfo’s top providing services.
