Click on the Design Tab. There is a button called "Insert Background". When clicked, a dialog box will appear, allowing you to browse to the image or video you want added. The image/video will automatically be copied into the song folder, and will be included when submitting your beatmap. Some notes:

Images can be in JPG or PNG format. It is best if you keep them under 800x600 in size.
Videos should be encoded using DiVX, xvid or similar codecs. Try and remove the audio to save on file size. Also look at this handy thread by Gilrad for more video editing tips.
Images and videos can be removed by deleting them from the song folder.

Note, Blushing's reply (above) descibes how to set the mp4 as Background video.

Going by the threads title: "how create osu beatmap using mp4 file"
Well, there is no way to use the mp4 directly to create a map, you'll have to convert the file into an .mp3 or .ogg format.
mp4/avi can only be used as background video.

You should be able to find free converting tools online (just use google)
If you run into problems getting it converted let us know.

That is not how to properly convert files, no.
Doing it like this will cause problems down the line!

even though it seems a logical option to directly rename the .mp4 file to a .mp3 one, the best thing would still be to use a converter like freeconvert or cloudconvert for example. i've never had a problem with these so it should be more certain.
