Everyone nowadays uses the camera from their smartphone, GoPro or lately even the camera of a Drone to capture special moments that we spend with our family, friends and loved ones.
Later on, we edit the video, adding effects and music and uploading to social platforms like Youtube, Facebook or Instagram and be able to share it with other people.
If we use background music on it -any famous song- and we do not own the copyrights, we can face some issues:
Youtube, for example, has an algorithm called Content ID that compares every one of the videos that are uploaded to their platform and detects if the songs are under copyrights or not.
Therefore, it’s essential to use Royalty-Free music for the composition of your videos.
Since it’s the only way by which we can avoid the violation of copyrights and subsequent fines, blockings or complaints from the artist or label.
There are several online marketplaces that offer non-copyrighted individual songs, both free and paid and there are also royalty-free music subscription services.
The main difference is that if we choose the free ones we will have to mention the artist in our video or project and if we purchase a license then not. Usually, licensed songs also tend to have a higher quality.
These are the best marketplaces:
As you can see, on the Internet is possible to find a lot of Royalty-Free music.
To choose the best option, the best thing is to look at the characteristics below:
Envato Elements is from our point of view the most complete of all the marketplaces mentioned above to get the legal background music for a homemade video (such as a wedding for example) or a timelapse.
There are more than 10,000 authors registered there, which have already uploaded thousands of songs and sound effects, and it is possible to find your ideal songs in a few minutes thanks to its integrated search engine.
As you can see, Royalty-Free music can fit really well with a homemade travel video, a typical one before a nice holiday.
This one below uses the song A Beautiful Life from author Tim McMorris:
.
Thanks to marketplaces such as those we have seen have we have seen prices for background music fall drastically in the last few years.
We can now browse through them listening to small pieces of songs until we find one that suits what we need, download it to test it in our video with the watermark and, if it convinces us, later acquire the license paying only a few dollars.
Something that would have cost us a few weeks ago, we can do it now in less than half an hour!
