What options do you have?
YouTube Audio Library - my favorite for its ease of use. This is royalty free music that is ok to use in video projects. It includes several hundred songs shown by category and are very easy to preview and download. Just keep in mind that you will usually need to give credit to the musician in your credits. | |
Creative Commons - Music Communities These audio/music files are also free and readily available to use in projects. There are links to 12 different music libraries. Not all of the songs in these libraries are royalty-free, but there is enough variety to satisfy whatever you are looking for. Typically, the only requirement is to give credit to the artist somewhere in your production | |
Garageband - The king of the hill This powerful program contains hundreds of free-to-use music clips that can be used by themselves or put together to create a background song. Customize according to the length of your project, right down to the second. The audio file can be exported as an .mp3 file and dropped into your video project. |
