Even More Online Tools and Resources!

We’ve collected several resources for free editing software, video footage, images, music, sound effects, and special effects elements to use in your mini movie and enhance what you film or record yourself. 

Many of the sites have paid and free items, so make sure the media you choose is free of charge.

Using only your original footage or copyright-free, public domain or creative commons media will ensure that there will be no copyright infringement. Make sure to properly credit everything you use in your film’s credits!
