It is important to plan and take a few key things into consideration. Here’s a step-by-step guide for how to make a music video. A music video can help you promote your band through social media channels such as YouTube, Facebook, and more.

Consider selecting a song that has done well in the past or use a single that is planned for release in the future, after you plan to publish your next single. Pick a track from an album that you had a great music video idea for in the past, even if that track wasn't originally planned as a single and music videos should be authentic expressions of the song’s creators. 

if your budget permits your band to produce a video for a song from someone else, that does not already have a video or single out on it, go get it.

You can spice up your video by adding stock footage; but you'll need to be aware that almost all video footage is subject to strict copyright law, there are several free stock, royalty-free sites to check out before paying for stock footage.

Much of this will depend upon the capabilities of the video editing software you use.video editing takes up a lot of hard drive space, so keep your hard drive clean and get rid of footage you're not using.
