Assets For Your Projects
Audio
The resources that specify that “artist credit is required” is only for projects that you share with the world. If you use the music for a class project, it’s a private project so you can use these however you’d like! But if you want to publish the video as a part of your portfolio, some of these require you to credit the artist. The exact wording will sometimes be specified on the website, so be sure to read it if you want to use it in that way!
