Digital Media Creation Studio: Green Screen

This page provides a video of how you can use the green screen in the studio and use Adobe Premier to edit that video and add a background. There are also royalty free image, video, and music websites that you can use for adding a background or music to your video!

Royalty Free Music Sources

These resources all have royalty free music that can be used as background music for your academic and personal video projects. Our favorite is Bensound. If you know of additional resources that should be added here, please let Bree know.
