Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Wooden Dock Footsteps"?
Yes — crediting BudgetPixel AI is the one condition of the licence, and downloading still needs no account. Put the credit line from this page wherever your project lists sources: a video description, end credits, show notes, or a game's credits screen.
What format and length is "Wooden Dock Footsteps"?
"Wooden Dock Footsteps" runs 4 seconds and downloads as WAV at 44.1 kHz, with MP3 on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for layering and pitch work, MP3 when file size matters.
Can I use "Wooden Dock Footsteps" in a monetised YouTube video?
Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted.
