How to Get Copyright-Free Music and Images

Personally, I hate citing all the images I get for my projects, and you probably hate it as well, but you will have no need to do so after you read this short post.
First lets explain you what Royalty free is. Royalty free means that the media you get can be used for your purposes without paying for the copyright, however there can be one-off payment to unlock the media you want. Even though you can use the image, you don't get the copyright for that image, which will remain with its author. 
There are many ways of getting licences for the pictures, for example paying to the author, but there is even more methods to get the images for free.
check out this websites to get free copyright images:
Microsoft Office
...and there is tons more!
If you don't want to be scared of copyright just create your own content in Painting programs! Its easy, and you will have no need to worry. You can also use your camera if you want to get quality stuff, but sometimes you just need to draw it yourself in Photoshop. There also are websites which will give you images with their watermark, and if you want to remove the watermark you will need to pay; for example shutterstock.

There is also a way to get some copyright images by doing following steps in Google Search:
 1.  In Google Images go to Search tools

2. 
In search tools select the images that are labeled for reuse with modification

Music



It gets more complicatedd with the music. One thing to remember is that just because you find music online that is royalty free, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are free to use it for commercial purposes. If you are going to monetize your videos on YouTube by running ads against them then you need to clear any content you use in your own videos or you will be making money off other people's work. 

 Using someone else's music, after paying them for a license, for popular songs  is extremely expensive and difficult to do. It may cost thousands of dollars, so stick up with unfamous begginung artist. It will be very cheap or free at all.

Creative Commons (CC) is a new system, built on current copyright law, that allows you to legally use “some rights reserved” music, all for free, almost free... You need to make sure that what you want to do with the music is OK under the terms of the particular Creative Commons license. CC-licensed music isn’t free for all uses, only some, so check before you use it. If you are talanted enough you can create your beats, but if you are not, or you don't have time, check out those websites:

 TIPS
Simply giving the credit to the artist is not enough.
Music that you have in PC, that you maybe bought from itunes etc., is not allowed. There is a difference between personal and proffesional use. The music you buy on itunes can cost 1$, but it is for you to listen, but buyng the license for professional use, where multiple people will hear it can cost 100x times more.
Educational videos don't get the music pass as well as normal videos.
Some remixes may not be allowed.
