ABOUT VIDEO:

Storyblocks
I want to create project related to building and construction.
Could you recommend ?
Thanks for the comparison video. Just what i was looking for. đ
Was so good. Also for me the problem is the licensing music for digital use. But I understand that Artist works fine!!
Using Envato for a few years now, no issues and best bang for your buck!
Thanks for being precise and straight to the point. If I want to be a commercial/cinematic video freelancer first in my job I need music and sfx. So which one is better no problem with my clients. in question of delivering the work I did without the music being claimed or getting into legal trouble with copyright on social networks or other platforms (instagram, meta, tiktok, twitter? sorry, I'm new to licenses.
In short, I want a platform that can sell my videos with music, sfx, videos, GM, etc. with license and distribution to my clients.
Hi, thanks for your comment!
From my experience, Artlist has the most expansive license and is most ideal for freelancers.
In the past Iâve ran into a few situations where I had to submit my Envato Elements license to CZcams when my videos get checked for copyrighted music.
But Iâve never had an issue with Artlist. So if I had to go with a subscription specifically for music and sfx, Iâd go with Artlist.
Hi John, great video.
Can I use artlist music on multiple channels for my clients?
What are the other platforms that allow me to use music on multiple channels? Thanks
i was going to do Artlist but no monthly option, the trail has a watermark which won't work. its a lot of $$ to come with upfront
Yeah, it is a lot of money. But I do have to say in my experience, Artlist is probably one of the best platforms out there when it comes to music.
The is great :) thank you. Why is motion vfx ripping people off? Lol
Mixkit is awesome
