# How to add photos and music to your travel video - **URL**: https://routeflick.com/blog/add-photos-and-music-to-travel-video --- [<- All articles](https://routeflick.com/blog) How-to - 4 min read **RouteFlick Editorial**Product guide from the team building RouteFlick Published May 22, 2026Updated October 5, 2026 A bare route is informative; a route with photos and music is a story people actually watch. Both take a minute to add in RouteFlick and are rendered straight into the final video. About this guide and its evidence Published by RouteFlick, the maker of the product described here. This is first-party guidance, not an independent review. Route previews are actual exports. An example route illustrates a workflow; it does not prove every feature or a competitor's output. Export speed depends on your device. Creator workflow and comparison documentation reviewed October 5, 2026.

Select a stop and open its photo card. 2. Upload a photo from that place -- it's resized in your browser, so nothing heavy is uploaded. 3. When the camera arrives at that stop, the photo appears as a card with a slow Ken Burns zoom, then fades as the journey continues. 💡 One strong photo per key stop beats a photo on every stop -- let the standout moments breathe. ## Add background music Open Music and add a track. It plays live while you preview, so you can feel how the animation lines up with the beat, and it's baked into the exported file -- no separate video editor needed. Trim the per-leg timing so arrivals land on the music. ## Put it together A title card, a few photos at the big moments, and a track that matches the mood is the whole recipe. Export vertically for Reels or in 16:9 for YouTube, up to 4K, and you've got a finished travel video. **Your route. Your preview.
