Music for drone videos on You Tube - Royalty Free / Free

I have just found another source for music and sound effects. I haven’t tested it all (obviously) but there seems to be some useful stuff.

great thanks

just found this site by accident gets a thumbs up from me.

Just had a quick look and agree, another go to for video tracks. Cheers :+1:t2:

Just be wary of the licensing. Ensure you use the code in your video descriptions on YT. I’ve had other stuff removed from the likes of Instagram.

The royalty free music game across socials seems to be getting harder without paying a monthly subscription.

Hi all, can you suggest the best source for acquiring music for my video footage? -Ken

Moved your post to one of the several existing threads on this topic, that might help.

Searches will provide more info.

Our very own Eric @EricMatyas is a great start.

Does anyone need some custom music created? I can do it very affordably…hit me up!

In the meantime, here’s a new looping track on my Fantasy 12 page:

“FOREST WEDDING”

How do you all add music to your pictures and videos, what apps fo you use.

loads of royalty free music around in SoundCloud - most just ask you to credit the artist with a link to their social pages so as to not get a copyright strike in YouTube. You can also search YouTube for royalty free music and most will have a link to a location to download the file and again they will ask you to credit them as the artist.

Thats what I do to find music for my vids. This way the artist gets exposure too so its a win win.

Depends where you’re putting your stuff.

What may be in YouTube’s audio library may not be on Meta’s or Tiktoks, meaning you can’t willy nilly post to all platforms and not expect to hit a copyright claim.

Unless you’re being very specific with ‘cut to the beat’ type stuff, Just add your audio in the app that you’re using and conform your videos for that platforms user base.

Youtube/facebook - longer form videos, you may have to use a different soundtrack beause what’s licensed by Google (YT) might not be licensed by Meta. (FB) If it’s literally drone only and not a whole lot else, keep it about 3 minutes, regardless of how cool you think it is, a drone only video of anywhere get’s boring to most people within a minute, older people may hang around but most will click off, check your analytics.

Insta/Tiktok - a minute or less and use their music library.

Moved your post to this thread where music sources have been discussed in detail.

Also look at our own @EricMatyas thread of Music and Sound Effects by Eric Matyas

Unless your channel is monetized, you can use pretty much use any music from YT. You may get notice of copyright from YT but its not classed as a strike. Usually states - The track is copyrighted but the owner allows it to be used in YouTube. This is not a strike - or something like.

just found another resource.
not sure how popular it will be but also there is a cost for downloading the tracks. but i have just used the instrumental version of Firestarter by the prodigy on a video and got no strikes from youtube. so could be useful for popular tracks if they have what you want.

Looking for recommendations of places to download music etc for use on videos. What are you currently using?

Have a read of the above
