Sometimes you need a little boost to help you make better videos. That's what these free resources are for. You know if you need to add a little spice to your videos. In theory, it would help you make better videos.
If you're anything like me, then you probably want to improve your skills in any way you can.
Maybe you want to be a better guitarist,
get better at riding a one-wheel. Whatever it is, I hope you have a desire to get better,
and I think that having the right resources can help you improve the skill that you're trying to
improve. And when you have resources that are 100% free, that should, in theory, motivate you to do
better. I'm talking no free trials, no subscriptions, no hidden fees, nothing like that.
The first one is a site called freesound.org. This is for all those sound effects that you want,
the whooshes, and the swooshes, and the dogs barking, and the ocean breeze, and the campfire,
and the motorcycle sounds, the whatever you need. All of these sounds are done by artists
that upload their own recordings, and some of them offer higher resolutions at an extra cost,
and some may ask you that you just give them credit, but most of them just don't care overall.
With each sound, it shows the name, a description, the artist, the date it was uploaded,
and even how many times it was downloaded. The only requirement that they have is that you
create an account, but again, this is 100% free. Now, I will say that the quality of the sound can
range from a professional recording to a phone recording, but it's free, so it is what it is.
Both of these websites allow you to download stock images and videos. On Pexels, you can search for
anything, and odds are they may have it. And on top of that, when you search for anything,
you can filter it by image or video, even the orientation or the size. This is really helpful
because if you need to find vertical video for platforms like TikTok, Reels, or even YouTube
Shorts, you can easily get that stock video that you need, or stock image, whatever it is.
Now, switching over to Pixabay, the major difference is that in addition to photos and videos,
you can actually search for vector graphics, sound effects, and music. The only thing that
both websites ask for is linking back, but it isn't required. It's up to you. And all you have
to do for both websites is create an account, and it's free. Like I said, everything in this video
is 100% free. And the third resource is ClipGrab, which is a program that you can download to help
you download YouTube videos to use in your videos. Upon downloading, you can decide if you want to
donate to support the software. And yes, there are sites like YouTube to MP3 or different Google
Chrome extensions, Safari extensions, Insert Your Web Browser Here extension. But with ClipGrab,
you can just search within the software without having to open up any kind of browser, and search
all the videos on YouTube, and then quickly download that video. So, if I wanted to reference
someone's video like I did in my previous video, I could just search on ClipGrab, or I could just
get something like a free overlay with a green screen as the background. And yes, I know YouTube
to MP3 or YouTube to MP4, whatever it is, is 100% free also. But still, just having this without
having to open your browser is time-saving, in my opinion. So, with those three free resources,
I hope that you can improve your content. I hope you can improve your videos. I hope that you can
keep your viewers' attention. I mean, we're all trying to keep each other's attention, right? I
mean, I've gotten you this far, so that's a good thing. All of those sites are linked in the
description below. Thank you for watching this video. Don't forget to thumbs up bell. I hope you
and the fam are doing well.
