I learned some really basic harmonizing recently but I'm not sure where should I apply it, pads or leads maybe?
And are there some nice videos where I can learn more about harmonies?

Google Raven Spiral's Guide to Music Theory. Great free resource. Honestly, for music theory I think you'll get further reading than with videos...

+1 for that. It's a free PDF that's well written and not bloated.

i always think of it like thinking of a horn section...its the groove .the accentuated notes on or off beat will be your root/chord. play it with a piano plug-in, the more velocity you pronounce a chord the more accompany should associate it.

I would go for pads/chords in this style. You could do some diatonic 3rd harmonising on leads but things can start to sounds a little 80's hair metal real quickly!

How often do people harmonize stuff in their tracks? Most of mine producer friends don't know shit about it.

EDIT: The word useful just got a new meaning.

Well assuming that everything isn't just monophonic unison notes, there's some degree of harmony in everything. Melody itself is just linear harmony.

I just wanna learn more harmonizing techniques except the harmonizing with thirds.

Most western harmony is built upon thirds. I made a post a while back about harmony but I can't be assed to go dig it up. Alternately, just keep reading harmony books. Not like there's any shortage of music theory resources.

Yeah, if you ever listen to classic rock and hear 2 guitars playing different notes that sound awesome together, thats usually a minor 3rd harmony.
