Transcripts

1. Introduction! - Why Royalty Free?: Hello everyone, welcome to my course. In these upcoming videos, I'm going to be teaching you how to find royalty-free music, videos, photos, and fonts, which you can use for your business. You may be wondering, why do I need to use royalty-free items from our businesses and what are the benefits to using royalty-free over anything else? Well, there are many benefits, such as being able to use some assets for your next business without spending resources on them. Second of all, if you use royalty-free items, you will not be getting in trouble with copyright or trademark infringement, which is very important for business owners. I will be using all of my years of experience of graphic and video designed to show you an actionable steps how to find multiple resources for each of these categories. I will also be showing you in many ways to use the royalty free items that you found. Along with that, I will give you tips and tricks along the way, which will make this whole process a lot smoother. I hope you are as excited as I am, see you inside. 2. Finding Royalty Free Music!: The first one will be finding is royalty-free music. There are many usages for royalty-free music, and the primary one is for video creation. There are also many kinds of genres of royalty free music, which I will go through. The first one is NCS, no copyright sounds on YouTube. When you go on their channel, there's a wide range of videos, all that have an EDM type of beat. This would be great for gaming or inspirational edit videos. As you can see in the description. If you use it, you must give credit by putting this strand of texts into your creation somewhere. To download their videos. There's a link right here which will lead you to their official NCES website. You'll have to make a free cone to be able to have access to the download link. The second one is also on YouTube, and it's called audio library music for content creators. These could be used more suitably for vlogging, lifestyle or informational videos. Once again, you must give credit to the artist, as said right here. To download, follow the download link in the description. Press this cloud button and press download directly from the website. This license information right here is the link that you can paste into your video for crediting. They may ask you to support the artists by following them on social media as well to grant the download link. The third and final one from this music category as Ben sound.com. This one is great and I've heard from many people that is best suitable for professional videos, such as promos or online courses. As you can see, you can search at the top for different genres, along with having access to quite a bit of music on one page. You can sample all of these just by pressing the Play button. This can make it very fast at finding that one perfect music track. When you're ready to download, simply press Download and head to the left where the Free Download section is and enjoy. Once again, you will have to give proper credit to the creators of the track by putting this link in your video somewhere. After you found some music to use from this section, it is time to move onto the next one where we will find royalty-free videos. 3. Finding Royalty Free Videos!: This next one is finding royalty-free videos. This one is also very common in video creation, where you can use it for advertising within personal or entertainment videos or even online courses. The first website for finding stuck videos for free is Pexels.com. Before we hop into the video samples, Let's take a look at the licensing. As you can see, you can use the videos for free and you do not need to give credit, but it is appreciated. Now we can head back to the main menu and press this video button and scroll down to take a look at these videos. As you can see, they have landscape and also portrait videos like you're filming from a phone. I can picture these videos being used in shorts such as on TikTok or Instagram. When you find one that you want to download, press on it and press Free Download at the top-right, and it should automatically download after pressing it. The next one we will be looking at is pixabay.com. This one is similar to Pexels, or we can freely search for videos on here by pressing videos and looking through these, you can find the specific agreements you must follow by each video by clicking on the one you like and reading this over here. For example, this one does not require attribution and I can use it for commercial use. When you go to download it, you can pick a ton of different resolutions depending on the one you want to use. And that is at the final and from this section is cover. This one also focuses on high-quality videos, which are all quite nice. If we take a look at the licensing agreement, these are all once again, free to use with no credit needed, but it is still appreciated. The only caveat is that you can not compile cover videos to replicate a similar service. One more thing, if there are logos or people which are recognizable in the videos, you must contact the owner of the video to get permission to use it publicly. Moving on to the videos, you can search something up top and scroll down to where it says free stock videos. These are some of the newest ones and you can filter it by most popular as well. To download, click on the desired one, and press Free Download, and you're finished. Once you've got a hang of using all of these websites, it is time to look for some royalty-free photos. 4. Finding Royalty Free Photos!: Finding royalty-free, non copyrighted photos is very easy in this day and age. With people always using images for a lot of creative purposes. It makes non copyrighted photos a very accessible to many people. They can be used in many applications such as clothing design, video editing, advertisements like billboards or social media ads, blog posts and many more. One of the most accessible ways of finding royalty-free photos on the internet is simply by searching an image on Google. Then go up here to where it says Tools and press usage rights. Then press the button that says commercial and other licenses. Here you go. These can all be used for commercial purposes. I would still be very careful with this method though. This is because all of these images come from different websites which all have different rules of using the image. For example, this one might be able to let you use it without giving credit, but this one might require credits. I would press on the image and find licensing on each one till we do to what you need to know in order to use the image. The next website is Pixabay. This one is great for finding both videos and images, as you could tell from earlier. They have a very wide variety of selections when it comes to image type. And if you search something up here, you can see that you can filter it by color and make the background transparent. I like to use this one when I need random pictures here and there for editing. Once again, let's take a look at the license. As you can see, there's no attribution required and you can edit the image, but you cannot redistribute images from Pixabay onto other stock photo websites. You also cannot sell unchanged photos or portray people in a bad manner, which are shown on the Pixabay website. Neither can you use people for a misleading association with a product or service. Alright, let's go back and do a simple run-through on how to use pixel-based images. Let's search something down here. As you can see, most of these are full images, but when you filter it by transparent background, the background is gone when you download it. There are also a cartoon photos and real photos which adds that variety no matter why you're using it for to download. Once again, press on the photo and click on one of the dimensions. If you want the biggest size, you may have to sign up though. The next one is Pexels. Once again, they have a great photo service along with their video selection. You can search for anything you want up here and you can get some really cool user submitted images. You can filter by orientation, photo size, and the colors that appear in the image. In terms of the license, you also do not need to give credits. And you're able to edit the photos if you'd like. When you go and download one. There's also a cool feature where you can get it in a custom size. So if you wanted an absolutely huge size or a quite small size, you have the freedom to do so. My final one for the photos is negative space. This one focuses on high-resolution professional photos. You can filter all of the photos up here by category, and you can find a ton of gems for your next project with this one. In terms of the licensing, you can download any of the photos from the public domain, which has all of the negative space website. And you are able to use, edit or share the photos, which could be for personal and commercial use. Let's find an image to download. You can just search up here and press on one you're interested in. Then you can press this one download button. And that is at, once you've figured out how to use some of these websites you're interested in, it is time to find some royalty free fonts. 5. Finding Royalty Free Fonts!: You can find so many usages of fonts. From being able to use them on clothing and advertisements, to even websites and videos. Different fonts and the ones installed on the computer can give you a different mood and personality that you're trying to portray. It can really help your website, video or add stand out from others and make you appear much more professional. Let's get started with finding some royalty free fonts. The first one I would like to show you is Google fonts. This one is nice because it is right on Google and you are able to browse a ton of nice fonts from a really easy interface. And the best part is that all of these fonts listed are able to be used commercially. This is said right here on the screen. When searching for fonts on Google funds, you can filter it by certain categories of font types, different languages, and all of the certain styles of each font category. If you want to see how a certain font will look with a specific text, you can type it up here and it will show you down below. You can also adjust the font size right here. The filters are useful to which can show which ones are most popular, trending, newest, et cetera. When you find one that you want to download, you can click on the Font, find a specific style you are targeting down below, or select the family, which means you get every single type. Once downloaded, you can open the zip file and they give you a license which you should still read. And also this file which has an a on it, on Windows at least, I believe Mac has a logo which says a, b, c on it. You would click on this, which is the font file, and it shows all of the letters, numbers, and symbols in different font sizes. You can press Install at the top and also go through the other ones on the top right where it says next, these are all the different styles of the font. If you want to download all of them, then go through each of these and install them. The next one is Font space.com. Once you go on it, you can see that most of these fonts are for personal use only. What we will do is scroll all the way down and press commercial fonts down here. This will give us only commercial free use fonts. As you can see, these fonts are very cartoon looking and are very project-specific. I love the creative font designs that they have on here. They have so much variety with their types of artistic fonts. To download one, press the Cloud right here, then go through the same process for installing as you did with Google Fonts. The next one is Font task.com. Like with font space.com, this one has a lot of project oriented funds, which I'll look very visually appealing. You can filter it by free commercial use up here. And all of these are the options you have. When you find one you like just press on it and press Download button. Attached inside of the zip file is a license which gives you the guidelines to using the font. The final one is in a photo editor and it is Canva. Canva offers so many different fonts with a ton of special effects with them. Let's make a 5 thousand by 5 thousand workspace with this custom tab to show you around. As you can see, some of the texts sets come with a couple of different fonts inside which blend well together. They are also very colorful, exciting, and eye-catching. You can adjust the size, color, make it bold, italicized, and underlined all up here. If you decide to use Canva for your project because they have a good font, you can also import your other stuff right here in the uploads tab and drag it onto the workspace. Then press Download on the top right when you are done. Now that you've found some awesome fonts to use, Let's put a project together where we will use some of these things in Canva. 6. Putting it all Together + Project!: Now that we found a bunch of places to get music, fonts, videos, and photos. Let's make something in Canva which includes video font and some audio. I will use this plane video from Pixabay. And I will use this font from Canva itself. Let me show you how I will put this together in Canva. First press Create a design after signing up, press video. Then I'll locate the video in the uploads tab. Then I will drag the video onto here and adjust it. Then I'll add my text making sure that it can appear alright, by changing the color if necessary and adjusting it to make it aesthetically pleasing. When you're finished with making your project, you can press Download on the top right. Alright, here's my final project. I hope you enjoy it. For the project below in Project and Resources, I want you all to try and make the same thing. You can use Canva or any other editing service. I just want you to implement some of the tools that tell you how to find in this course. I look forward to seeing what you all came up with. Thank you for watching my course. I hope you all got a lot of value from it by learning how to find all these fonts, videos, photos, and music. I wish you luck in using these, and I hope you have a good day.
