Expert Answer

Upload a single picture with a song! For instance, some people just release their album or single cover with their music. To make the video more engaging, map any motion that you can to your album covers.

How can I do it with a phone?

If you have an iPhone you can make this on iMovie by selecting all of the pictures you want to do for your video. Then select "Add" (+) and press audio. Then press music, press the downloaded song, add it to your video, and you are done.

Question

Can one photo be used for an entire song?

Community Answer

Yes, but the title should contain the word "Audio." Usually on YouTube videos with only one picture for the entire video are titled something like "Artist Name - Name of Song (Official Audio)" or "(Audio)" and people who do this mainly use the album cover art as the photo.
