Making Videos. Editing footage and adding music etc

Hello everybody,
I have recently been experimenting using the Windows Movie Maker (not everyone's choice of video editing software, I know but that's beside the point).
I have been adding some photos to the movie maker & playing around with some of the animation settings (zooms etc). I have also tried adding music to pictures & video from the link to the Free Music Archive (FMA).
Under the licencing conditions when using this music it states that:

"If supplied, you must provide the name of the creator and attribution parties, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the material. CC licenses prior to Version 4.0 also require you to provide the title of the material if supplied, and may have other slight differences".

I am getting a bit "bogged down" with the legal side of this in providing correct attribution to my videos.
I am hoping someone can help me with this?
This was almost a private message to Pete Eeles ! :) (and maybe should have been a message to the FMA but it is specifically butterfly related at the moment)
best wishes,
Philip

Not sure I have the answer, but what I would do is find an example use and copy that. I've certainly seen the Creative Commons notices applied for images (in this case, when images have been used in an app) but never music in videos.

Cheers,

- Pete

Thanks Pete,
The Director of:
http://freemusicarchive.org/ (just one source of free music) shared this link with me:
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_p ... ttribution
I have added music to one of my videos as a trial/experiment and am just making sure I have "covered all bases" before posting it on youtube (as I haven't done this before). I understand that not everyone is going to want to add music to their videos, anyway,
best wishes.
