Resources

To avoid copyright issues when using found images, video clips, and songs in your videos, limit your search to Creative Commons licensed and public domain material. Here are some helpful resources:

• Creative Commons search and attribution info
• Pexels for high-quality, free, public domain stock videos and photos (great for green screen backgrounds!). Pixabay and Unsplash are also excellent free stock photo options.
• Make your own graphics with Canva!

Here are two common options for storing and captioning your videos:

1. Upload to 3C Media Solutions and request captions with one click!
2. Upload to YouTube and edit the automatic captions.
