Epidemic Sound

Platform introduction:

Epidemic SoundIt is to solve the "three major pain points of global content creation-complex copyright licensing (different rules in different regions/platforms), high commercial risks (infringement faces removal/compensation), and difficulty in adapting multiple tools (music needs to be found across platforms when editing)" The vertical platform created by "is positioned as a" global compliant supply and efficient adaptation hub "for music copyright." Its core logic is to "reconstruct the music usage process with 'complete copyright ownership + subscription authorization + multi-terminal integration'": no need to worry about differences in copyright regulations in different countries and platform authorization restrictions, you can obtain" globally universal and realizable "music use rights; At the same time, it is deeply linked with professional editing software, allowing the process of "finding music-cutting music-sending content" to be completed in a single workflow, greatly improving creative efficiency and adapting to all-level needs from personal TikTok Short Video to large-scale theater movies.

Core functions:

1. Core: Four major professional music and authorization modules
   1. Massive exclusive music and sound effects library: covering all scene styles
      The platform is centered on "exclusive creation", with complete music/sound effects styles to meet the emotional and scene needs of different content:
      • Music library: Contains all styles such as pop, rock, electronic, classical, folk, epic, and healing, and is subdivided into "Short Video BGM","Podcast Opening/Transition","Film and Television Score Fragments","Live Background Sound" and other purposes. It is suitable for 15-60-second Short Video, long documentaries, brand advertisements and other different duration content;
      • Sound Effect Library (SFX): Covering natural environmental sounds (rain, waves), daily object sounds (typing, door opening), special effects sounds (explosions, electronic prompts), human voices, etc., suitable for video detail enhancement, game development, podcast scene creation;
      • Core advantages: All music/sound effects are exclusive to the platform, avoiding "collision with BGM" with other content. At the same time, the sound quality is professional (high sampling rate) and meets high-quality needs such as professional films, advertising, etc.

2. Beyond the traditional copyright authorization model: global compliant commercial use
   Different from ordinary royalty-free platforms, its authorization model is more thorough and flexible:

   • Completely own copyright: The platform owns the complete copyright of all music/sound effects, and can directly provide users with "global, full-platform" authorization without worrying about third-party copyright parties holding them accountable;
   • Full coverage of authorization: During the subscription period, it can be used on all online platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, podcast platform, official website, etc.), and content monetize (advertising monetization, goods delivery, etc.) is supported without additional copyright fees;
   • Permanent compliance guarantee: For content published during the validity period of the subscription, even if the subscription is subsequently cancelled, the music copyright of the content will remain permanently valid, avoiding the risk of "content being removed from shelves after the subscription expires."

3. Adapting professional software and mobile: Seamless integration into the creative process
   Break the sense of division of "find music-cut videos" and realize the deep integration of tools and resources:

   • Professional editing plug-in: Inject the "Epidemic Sound plug-in" into Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio and other software, which can directly search for music styles and filter duration/rhythm. After downloading, import the Timeline with one click, without needing to switch platforms;
   • Mobile APP: Supports mobile phones to browse music libraries and create favorite lists. It adapts to the needs of outdoor shooting and fragmented song selection. It can be synchronized to computer editing software after downloading.

4. Account and platform linkage: simplifying copyright management

   • Social account binding: Support associating YouTube, TikTok and other creative platform accounts with Epidemic Sound accounts to automatically complete copyright synchronization to avoid content review failure due to "unauthorized use";
   • Clear usage rules: After a subscription is cancelled, you can still access the music library until the end of the current subscription period, but no new content can be published; all permissions can be restored by re-subscribing, and the management logic is simple and understandable.

typical application scenarios

• Cash out of media Short Video : YouTube food bloggers use the platforms "Light Folk Songs BGM" and "Kitchen Environment Sound Effects" in videos through personal subscriptions. The content is realized through advertisements without worrying about copyright sharing or removal; Even if subscriptions are subsequently cancelled, 100+ videos that have been released are still compliant;
• Corporate brand advertising : Beauty brands use corporate subscriptions to produce commercial videos for the global TikTok Challenge, using "Fashion Electronic Music", authorized to cover 100+ countries, and directly complete music editing in Adobe Premiere Pro to improve Advertising production efficiency;
• Film and television company project : Through a customized plan, the independent film team selects "epic agricultural clips" and "scene sound effects" for the film, and authorizes it to cover theater releases and streaming media on demand (such as Netflix), without requiring multiple copyright parties to apply for authorization;
• Live broadcasts and podcasts : Twitch game anchors use "game atmosphere BGM" and "operation prompt sound effects" in live broadcasts through subscriptions. At the same time, podcast programs use "soothing background sound" to enhance the listener experience, and all content is monetized in compliance.

applicable population

• Self-media creators : Bloggers on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and B sites need to use BGM and sound effects at high frequencies and rely on copyright compliance to ensure content monetization;
• Podcast owners and live broadcast practitioners : Podcast platform (Spotify, Microuniverse) anchors and Twitch/Douyin live anchors require background sound and transitional sound effects to create a scene atmosphere;
• Corporate marketing and brand team : Marketing departments of small and medium-sized enterprises and large brands need to produce compliant music for advertising, promotional videos, and social media content;
• Film, television and game practitioners : Independent film teams and game development studios require professional soundtrack and sound effects to adapt to scenes such as theater, streaming media, and game distribution;
• Large publishers : TV stations, streaming media platforms (such as Netflix, Disney+), and offline event planners need customized copyright solutions to cover multiple scenarios.

unique advantages

1. Copyright is the most secure : Fully own copyright, global authorization has no dead corners, and avoids problems such as "cross-regional infringement" and "platform restrictions". It is the first choice for professional creators;
2. Integrate into the creative process : Adobe and DaVinci Resolve plug-ins allow the seamless connection of "selecting music-cutting videos", which is 50% more efficient than the traditional "download music first and then import";
3. Permanent compliance of content during the subscription period : Even if the subscription is cancelled, the published content will still be copyright protected, solving the concern of "long-term content copyright protection";
4. Exclusive resources to avoid collisions : All music/sound effects are exclusive to the platform, reducing the probability of "colliding with BGM" with other popular content and enhancing content uniqueness;
5. Support global monetization : Authorizes it to cover international mainstream platforms and meets the creators 'needs of "monetization out of sea"(such as YouTube global advertising, TikTok cross-border goods delivery).

precautions

• No free use rights : You can only listen to music for free, and you must pay for downloading and commercial use (subscription or monorail authorization) to avoid "mistakenly thinking that it is free" and causing infringement;
• Subscription types need to match scenarios : Personal subscriptions cannot be used for professional scenarios such as corporate commercial advertising and film and television distribution. The corresponding subscriptions need to be selected based on actual uses to avoid insufficient permissions;
• Restrictions after cancellation of subscription : After the subscription expires, new content cannot be published, but the published content is still compliant and needs to be renewed in time to ensure continuous creation.
