Working as a Pocketnest Intern week 4: July 6th-July 12th: Planning on creating a video for a company? You will need to make sure the audio you use is copyright free or royalty free music. This type of music isn't exactly "free", but usually requires some type of license to be purchased in order to use the desired music.
I recently created a demo for the company I am working with, and I used no attribution, royalty free music from
Youtube Audio Library. No attribution means that you are free to use the given music without giving credit to the artist. I felt like this was the best option to use because youtube audio library supplies absolutely free downloads. This week I ran into an unexpected problem. As the demo was being posted on all social sites and vimeo, facebook gave a "muted video" warning message. The message stated that the video will be temporary muted due to the music not belonging to us. I was shocked! I didn't understand why the video would be muted, when I made sure the song was no attribution and double checked youtube audio library as a reliable source. Long story short, there was a way to unmute the video if we believed the audio was free to use, but to be safe I decided to find another song to use for facebook. Down below I created a list of great royalty free music sites, that could potentially help out someone in a copyright warning funk.
https://audiojungle.net/ This was the site I used, and found relatively cheap audio, and no monthly license is required!
https://www.bensound.com/ This website offers great free music (credit required) and has an option to purchase a license for premium sounds (no credit required)!
