me – every time I see a video
using Windows Movie Maker,
it is obvious from the very first
title. It doesn’t have the timeline
capabilities of soft ware like Corel,
doesn’t have any special eff ects
that don’t look cheesy and can
basically do nothing other than put
two or more videos together in a
clunky way.
Even though music isn’t a
necessity, it makes a video
so much more engaging and
interesting. You don’t always
have to pay for music – there are
hundreds of sources of totally
legal royalty-free music. Make
sure you read the terms and
the licenses though as you are
firstly damaging these people’s
small business and secondly, you
could be breaking the law.
The most common license
is Creative Commons in its
many forms, generally through
attribution (giving credit) for free
music. You don’t need to write
a novel, just copy the provided
text for video descriptions or
state the name of the song, who
composed it, the website name
and the website address. Some
may insist on a link to the song
