Bringing in videos or music from youtube


Youtube has a great selection of sound effects that you can use for your movie and it's pretty easy to download and convert them into MP3 format.  I use zamzar to download the videos or sounds I want to use.

  1. Go on youtube and search for the specific sound that you want.
  2. Once located, copy the URL (the internet address)
  3. Go to http://www.zamzar.com/url/
  4. paste the URL in the box.
  5. Choose the format you want to use from the drop down menu. (If you just want to use the sound choose MP3)
  6. Enter your email address.  (It will be emailed to you soon after)
  7. Click convert.
  8. You will get a warning message, click OK
  9. Check your email and click on the link.  (It will be a long link that looks like this: http://www.zamzar.com/getFiles.php?uid=8322108895434001328543010&targetID=jtsRUSVJcF13Yyc75ptFJk_Y_Z8Y6VjCVQ)
  10. Right click on the green 'Download Now' button and choose 'Save target As'
  11. Name your file and put it in a place you will remember.  It's probably a good idea to create a folder where you will store all of them.
