For those who are editing videos, they must often use sound effects. Previously we introduced a “Artlist copyright-free music subscription service“There are a lot of high-quality soundtracks and sound effects, which are highly recommended for those who have the budget, but if you don’t have them, SoundBible is a good material website. It provides a large number of copyright-free free sound effects in various types, such as weather, animals, situational sound effects, etc. Each sound effect can be listened to online, and the introduction page will also clearly state the copyright. As long as you follow it, you can use it for commercial purposes.
Introduction to SoundBible, a website that provides a large number of copyright-free free sound effects materials

For people who often need to edit commercial videos, compared to free music and sound effects material websites, I still recommend Artlist copyright-free musicThis type of subscription service will be safer, and there is no need to worry about wrong authorization. The good thing about Artlist is that it also provides a lifetime free license plan. Even if the subscription period ends in the future, you can continue to use all the music you have downloaded, which is very cost-effective.
