However, you won't be granted permission to use the video. (i.e. the possibility of being sued. the music you play could be restricted, and your music may be removed from some social media sites. Gaaaahhh!) The best option for purchasing sounds or music can be The Audio Jungle.
  • When you're finished saving the video, you can save it onto your camera roll or directly forward it through the application.
