LONDON - Elevate.io (www.elevate.io), a division of Blackbird plc., has partnered with Epidemic Sound, a music licensing platform for creators and brands. The partnership integrates Epidemic Sound's expansive royalty-free music catalog directly into Elevate.io, the online collaborative video editing platform.
Available immediately, this integration gives Elevate.io users the ability to instantly access Epidemic Sound’s catalog of music and sound effects within the platform’s editing interface. By owning all the rights to its catalog, Epidemic Sound makes music licensing simple. Users can search, preview and add tracks seamlessly, with licensing of the music - which can be tailored to users requirements - handled when the video is exported.
“Music is fundamental to great storytelling, it’s what gives video content its emotion and energy,” notes Ian McDonough, executive chair for Blackbird. “Rather than sending creators off to find tracks elsewhere, we’ve built it directly into the Elevate.io platform. World-class music, right there in users’ workflows. No interruptions, just creativity and complete peace of mind. This is a huge moment for the company and we’re incredibly excited.”
“This is an excellent example of the Epidemic Sound API enabling creative platforms to grow their customer offering through music,” adds Matt Sage, interim chief product officer at Epidemic Sound. “The Elevate.io team have done an amazing job integrating our catalog into their collaborative video editor and we’re excited to see how their creators and brands use our tracks to take their content to the next level. We’re delighted to continue supporting the development of the Elevate.io platform through world class-music and soundtracking.”
As an editing platform, Elevate.io provides editing tools in the browser, enabling both short-form and long-form content creation, complete with transitions, effects, color correction and visual looks. There are no downloads or installations required. Elevate.io has plans that start at just $10 per month. Users are given 100 tokens each month, which can be used for the sound library, and additional tokens are available for purchase.
