The internet is like a mega-collection of everything free and awesome. You can produce a whole video, be it for a short presentation for a class project, or a comedy video to post on social media, or even an advertisement for some company, using nothing except free tools from the internet.
One of the most important aspects of producing a proper video are the sound effects, and the music. The tricky thing, however, is to find the best sources for free music/sound effects to use in your video. Using music from any source without the proper rights is not only illegal but can also get your video banned or taken down for copyright infringement. In fact, most video portals today, including YouTube and Facebook, employ built-in algorithms that can automatically detect any copyrighted music/audio in your video.
So here, we have compiled a list of the best free sources for finding music or sound effects to use in the video. Note that, although most are free, some do require you to explicitly credit the source in the video you are going to use it,
