Adding Audio and Sound

[doug86]

Watching more than a 30 seconds of silent video just sort of begs one to click "next" and move on. If nothing else, add some sound effects so we can hear something.

Here is a website that offers free sound files. Easy to find all sorts of sounds, like those that would be in your back yard.

Even just some wind noise is better than silence on those videos.
cheers.

pond5.com offers royalty-free music for sale, lots of tracks starting at a buck or two. Incompetech offers free (as in beer) royalty-free music, and it's pretty good, but you'll hear it a lot of places - it's quite popular.

I believe videos hosted on Vimeo qualify for free music, and you don't even have to edit it - they add it automatically if you click around.
