Hello everyone.
Recently I created an stop motion short film and all the foleys and samples (ambientation music) I used were taken from Freesound, I also edited some of them.
Some of them are under the non-commercial attribution, but I gave credit by writing the user and the title of the sound and I mentioned that I took the sound from this website.

I want to send my shortfilm to some film festivals, none of them give a cash price for winners, I only want my video to be distributed.

Can I do it? or should I put only the sounds that are public domain?

Please help!

Hey

This is fine. You may use non-commercial licenses as long as you've followed the attribution guidelines, which you have, according to what you've described.

Just have a look here to double check you're doing the credits right:

Best,
Sam
