Yes, please: You can now add looping music to your Vines

Your Vine game is about to reach a whole new level. 

Thanks to a new feature, Snap the Beat, Vine has made it possible to add music to your videos to create perfect loops that really show off those amateur cinematography skills.

Because six second loops are the Vine way, sometimes its hard to add music that matches what’s happening on the screen. Snap the Beat takes all the work out of it, because, as The Verge puts it, the new functionality will “will trim the music and video to the audio loop as perfectly as possible.” This means you won’t have to agonize over the timing of the music, cropping and recropping to make it fit.

Vine’s Snap the Beat enables you to, pretty easily, choose from a library of featured music, and match it up to the six second loop. Pretty soon, you’ll be Vining like a (even bigger) boss.

According to the Vine blog, their purpose goes beyond helping you create the most awesome Vine clips of all time, though. They also want to help you discover new music as well. Once in the app, you can tap the little music symbol and instantly get information about the featured song and access to links that could take you to artists’ social media sites and websites.

It’s not entirely clear how much freedom you’ll have in the early stages, so it’s unclear whether you can use tracks from own music library, but TechCrunch reports that Avicii, Migos and Odesza, and dozens of other artists, have all committed to providing “featured tracks.”

For more info on what updates you get for which operating systems, go to Vine music page. Happy Vining.
