Atemberaubende lizenzierte Musik für Filmemacher

When you license royalty-free music from PremiumBeat, you are covered in a wide variety of projects. Each license you purchase is valid for one track and includes the full song, loops, and short clips. Our Standard license covers web use for websites and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch, as well as online streaming sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Corporate videos and personal use videos such as those for weddings are also covered, as are free or revenue-generating podcasts. Student film, play, or live performance projects can also opt for the Standard license.

For those with projects intended to reach a larger audience or that will be commercially distributed, the Premium license is the way to go. Covering all of the aforementioned, the Premium license also allows users to add our musical tracks to apps, games, or DVDs that are free or revenue-generating. Up to 1,000 copies or downloads are covered. The Premium license can also cover the pilots of TV and radio projects, as well as single territory TV or radio advertisements and industrial events such as trade shows and in-store displays.

Yes, you can use licensed music on streaming platforms. In fact, using licensed music is key to avoiding copyright infringement cases. Both our Standard and Premium licenses cover the use of music in projects intended for social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch, as well as personal use projects on YouTube and Vimeo.

For YouTube? YouTube videos that include music tend to outperform those without. To keep up with the ever-growing competition, add a track from the PremiumBeat library to your next video. You will want to ensure that your chosen track matches the tone of your content and personality of your brand. Search by “Mood” to find easily find appropriate beats. The songs found within our “Comedy/Funny” section can pair well with comedic material, while our “Aerobics/Workout” tracks may be just what you need for your next fitness video.

For Twitch? If you have a live-streaming Twitch channel and want some high-quality music to up your audience engagement, simply head to the PremiumBeat search engine. Look to the filters on the left and click “Genres.” Scroll down to “Games” to check out beats that can easily match the mood of your racing, battle, or fantasy game. Alternatively, you can add a track from our “Electronic” section to keep things feeling technological.

People sometimes wonder if they can legally stream music from platforms such as Spotify or Pandora in public. The short answer is no. Those songs are licensed for private, non-commercial use, meaning they can safely be played within one’s own home for family and friends but that’s it. Even for those who have purchased a given song, it is not legal to play it in a public place. This is because the unspoken agreement upon purchase is that this song will be played in a private setting. As soon as that song is played in a public setting, it violates copyright laws. The song must be licensed for commercial use. A Public Performance License (PPL) is needed to play music in public places such as a retail store or restaurant. This license usually comes from a performing rights organization (PRO). There are four main PROs in the US and Canada that offer these licenses: ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), GMR (Global Music Rights), and SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada). If you acquire a license from one of these PROs, you can only legally play music from that PRO’s catalog.

While not all music publishers or licensing companies will allow you to reuse a track you have purchased the license for, when you buy a license from PremiumBeat you can absolutely reuse the track. This saves you both money and time as you will not need to search for and purchase a new track each time you need music for a project. You can reuse our tracks in projects as varied as corporate videos, web content, apps, and beyond. With our Standard license, you can use a track in unlimited projects, worldwide, in perpetuity. The Premium license, on the other hand, covers a single project in perpetuity.
