USING MUSIC OR PHOTOS IN YOUR VIDEO
If you would like to use music in your video, make sure it is royalty-free. When submitting your video, you will be asked to provide the name of song and artist. The same rules apply when using photos.
There are two types of royalty-free music:
- No Attribution: The artist has waived the rights to their music, and you may modify and use the music as you wish without giving credit.
- Attribution Required: You can use and modify the music, but you need to give credit to the artist in your video.
Make sure to read and understand the terms of using the song.
