Looking to add professional-quality audio to a project? Check out Artlist, which offers more than 12,000 royalty-free music and sound effects. It has an intuitive and accessible search system that lets you easily filter content by genre, instrument, or mood, so you can quickly find what you need. In addition, you can preview a track’s waveform or explore its many versions (such as a vocal track or instrumental) before signing up. Artlist also has generous licensing rules for its Creator Pro subscription tier, letting you use tracks even after your subscription expires. Unfortunately, Artlist lacks Android and iOS apps, as well as stems (which may be troublesome if you want access to a track’s individual audio components). Still, a basic Artlist license covers using the supplied audio in podcasts, as well as posting the sounds to a single channel on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. For multiple channels or client work, the Creator Pro and higher tier subscriptions have what you need.

Available for Mac and PC, Avid Pro Tools is a robust digital audio workstation (DAW) that offers a highly customizable UI, impressive audio format compatibility, easy importing and exporting, and broad hardware compatibility. When it comes to audio recording, mixing and mastering, you’d be hard pressed to find a better subscription-based DAW. It excels in a professional environment, giving you all the tools you need to manage and move a steady pipeline of audio projects.

Epidemic Sound has an expansive audio catalog (more than 35,000 royalty-free music tracks and 90,000 sound effects), but it has a few unique features that make it stand out from its competitors. For example, you can download a track’s stems (the individual vocal and music components) if you want to use a specific element. In addition, Epidemic Sound’s recommendation system lets you highlight specific song sections, so that the service unearths similar-sounding songs. Lastly, Epidemic Sound has Android and iOS apps if you want to create content on the go. A subscription gives you the right to use Epidemic Sound’s audio in podcasts, as well as one channel per social media platform (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube).

An expansive collection of photographs, video footage, and sound effects make Motion Array a one-stop shop for all your video post-production needs. You can search for footage based on a theme or feel you need for a project, and filter your searches to find the perfect slideshow, intro, logo, or transition. You can filter by resolution (2K, 4K, and 5K+) and orientation (horizontal, vertical, or square). The service also has a sizeable stock image section packed with animal, fashion, travel, and urban photography. Motion Array isn’t just a massive resource of more than 500,000 assets; it’s an active community where you can make requests, too. Most of the service’s assets are designed for commercial use, with a small number of photography and video files meant exclusively for editorial purposes.

The company behind Artlist also has an excellent video footage resource. Artgrid’s video quality and production are top-notch offerings that deliver an impressive cinematic touch. Its video library includes drone, close-up, and slow-motion footage. Many Artgrid videos have multiple related camera shots, so you can easily grab a series of similar shots for your project. Higher-tier subscriptions open the door to high-quality RAW/LOG footage. Artgrid’s licenses carry across “all platforms” and support YouTube monetization.
