I really like what Vimeo has done to address this issue - by integrating it’s own music service. In a perfect world, you should contact the musician and ask permission - even for a personal project. If you use copyrighted music in your videos, you have to credit the musician. Using copyrighted music for personal use is a hot topic for many people. I am not sure how Vimeo generates these tracks - whether it is based off of music you have selected from your uploaded videos or the most popular generated by users but I was able to find a few tracks right away by simply visiting this section. Vimeo has also integrated a Recommended section. When you find a song you like, simply click the star beside it and it saves your selection to ‘My Saved Tracks’. One of the features that I love about the Vimeo music store is the ability to favorite tracks for future use. It’s integration with FCP7 is also flawless (also compatible with Premiere, After Effects, Pinnacle Studio… and soon FCPx). You are able to separate instruments and vocals and create moods within songs - and create your own ‘hit’ points to match your edit. Up until the release of the Vimeo music store, I have been using Sonicfire Pro 5 for most of my projects and will still continue to use it because of it’s flexibility and ability to manipulate songs right at the instrument level. (Don’t get me wrong - there are still some pretty bad songs but overall I am happy). I have spent a little bit of time browsing through the collection, and unlike most music libraries, this one doesn’t completely suck! Within minutes, I found some great tunes. There are way less trolls and way less negativity as a whole! The Collection Unlike other platforms, constructive criticism rules all else. Nice one guys!! Vimeo Has Done it Again! By Preston KanakĪs many people know, I am in love with vimeo - for it’s quality of content and for it’s community. The vimeo/ filmmaking community has needed this. Spend time searching through the library, see what is out there as much can make or break your work. Sites like this and the excellent but nowhere near big enough are much needed. Licensing music has always been such a huge headache. Just from my browsing of the store I found some brilliant tracks which I have saved for potential future use. The pricing is completely affordable ranging from free with creative commons, to a couple of dollars for personal use to around $100 for a commercial license. The selection on music is outstanding, the quality is, for the most part, too.
