Should I use free or premium audio in my video editing software?

You can create your video with free audio available in your editing software, then add a different audio track when you upload to social media if you want. Many editing tools have limited free music options, with most sounds restricted to premium users. Don’t let this stop you—edit your video with whatever audio is available or even no audio, then select the music you really want when posting to your social platform.
