artlist told me that if a client posts a video after i end my subscription that it won't be covered. i've got client videos that they're planning to post later this year and artlist are essentially strong arming me into renewing my subscription otherwise the client videos will get strikes when they post them. i got receipts for all this, its shady af
That's unfortunate... It seems unreasonable, I agree. I guess it's hard for them to monitor this in a different way. But this is also why I don't trust them as much as before. They were my go-to when I knew I could use their music without clearing it, and I thought the license card was enough proof.
@@kriswarwick they should at least allow you to clear songs after your subscription, that you've downloaded during your subscription, but they said no to that to me.I have to keep my sub until all my clients have posted their videos which will likely take at least a year. Artlist won, they beat me, they wont change their policy for me so I have no choice but to pay for another year in full and also not use their songs for client work otherwise it'll just happen again with the new videos. I just want people to know about the trap they're setting, maybe there's legal options but I have no clue.
Man i have artlist, but I want to get musicbed, i make videos for birthdays ,weddings and some client stuff, but i have no idea and its not clear how music covers clients, in artlist i just add their socials and its done, help me understand how music will manage my clients posting to their social media
For me, it’s Artlist, mostly because it has a ton to offer with music, stock 13:58 footage, templates, FX and voiceovers. I’ve never liked the music from Epidemic Sound and I had issues with Musicbed’s customer service that I can’t accept even if that’s changed. The experience was bad enough for me to not work with them again even if just in principle. Yes, the music is probably the best, but I have access to to a lot of music from Artlist, Audiosocket, Filmpac and Audiio. I also use AI generated music from Udio for personal projects and I’m a musician myself.
That makes sense! I understand that your experience, just like mine, was poor. I also understand what you're saying about principles. For me I think the fact that they reached out, actually listened and changed the way they handled things, was enough for me to give them a second chance. I strongly believe in second chances if people or businesses make an effort. But that's just me! Do you compose music for your own videos?
Thank you for this video! So if I went with Musicbed, and did a promotional video job for a small 10-person company(who will use it on IG as their own), will I have to remain on Musicbed indefinitely in order to use the license? Or can I comfortably leave Musicbed and the copyright will still be valid with the client?
Yes, but terms apply. See what Musicbed wrote on this question: Licenses purchased from our site (standard on-site licenses) website are granted for a perpetual term. This means that the license never expires or loses legitimacy specific to the original project for which the license was granted. Should you desire to use a song licensed to you by Musicbed for another project, a separate license will be required. For Custom licenses, the term will be up for negotiation between the client, the artist, and Musicbed. In order for subscription licenses to remain valid in perpetuity, the 12-month term of the subscription must be completed. Early cancellation of a subscription will result in any licenses issued under the subscription to become null and void.
Clearing a video means that the video won't get any music right claims. This again means that you can use it, make money on it and use the music for client work :)

What do you mean with „clearing“ a video?
Clearing a video means that the video won't get any music right claims. This again means that you can use it, make money on it and use the music for client work :)
Just getting into client work. Never would have thought it takes all of this to use some jams man….
yeah a lot of things to consider and it's a steep learning curve. Let me know if you need any tips on any of it.
Thanks much mate 😊
Still not all there ❤
I am happy this helped you!
