GIMP & Canva are great, free photo manipulation / editing softwares.

 

I've also seen folks use Trello, Asana & Google Doc/Sheets for course management and outlining.

I also want to add these Udemy-specific resources, based on questions we see frequently in the community:

For the photos, I would add unsplash.com and newoldstock https://nos.twnsnd.co/

 

And on https://www.slidescarnival.com/ you will findlots of great free power point templates.

Hi @JoyceWSolomon, it always depends on the site, sometimes you'll have to give credit to the author and sometimes you just can use it without credits. For the music, for example, if you use the music from Incompetech.com you'll have to give credit to the author, you'll find what to write right in the info of the song. About the photos, if you'll use the pictures from Pixabay.com, most of the time you will be free to use the photos also for commercial purposes without any credit, you will find about the license of the photo on the right of your screen.

Csnva can also be used for making PowerPoint slides too. There is so much that you can do with Canva. It's more than  just a photo editor.

If i use the music from the site that you mentioned above , will i have to give the credit to the website? or its free to use without giving credit. If need to give credit how can i mention it. I want to use it as my background music of my promo vide. Please help me out. How to do this. Thanks.

Go to solution

With the possible exception of 100% Royalty free music, credit and recognition of authorship of the music or the website  providing it should always be properly recognized and attributed. To do so is considered plagiarism in academia and simply theft of intellectual property anywhere else.
 

Properly giving credit where it is due helps everyone and does not diminish your work product. If anything it enhances it by demonstrating your respect for the work of others...the same as you would want for yourself. 


To do less is to invite potential litigation that could result in a 'cease and desist order' and running the risk of compromising your professional integrity. Once that happens, good luck finding work with legitimate businesses, or people.
After all, how can you trust a thief?

Just put a write at the end of your video where you used the music, something that says: "Music by www.thewebsitewhereyoutookthemusic..."
