Licensing scope
Prices may vary by usage
Licensing terms differ for personal, commercial, advertising, and global release.
GUIDE / MUSIC
Just because you can hear it doesn't mean you can use it.
Background music significantly impacts perception, yet licensing is often overlooked.
Buyer question：Can I just find background music for videos online?
We do not recommend downloading or clipping music from the internet. Before commercial or public release, confirm the music's licensing scope, usage platforms, regions, and duration.
