Extra Variations

Have you ever found the perfect track, but it was too intense to put underneath your voice-over?

We thoughtfully craft variations of every track so you always have options to choose from.

Whether you need epic full-mixes or subtle background versions, we have plenty of both.

Unique SFX Pairings

Have you ever trimmed down a music track and needed a musically-compatible accent to end on?

All our music comes with SFX pairings that perfectly match the key signature, mood, and tone of the track you’re using.

You’ll find options that complement your music.

Sound effects you won’t find anywhere else.

We have one of the most curated libraries in the industry, focusing on versatile sound effects that imply movement, rather than literal recordings of every object imaginable.

In addition to the essentials, we offer some unique sound design concepts you won’t find anywhere else.

Every sound effect includes multiple variations, so you always have more than one option.

We exist to help you stand out.

When you can’t hire a composer, sound designer, or colorist, a Lens Distortions membership is truly the next best thing.

We understand your struggles as an editor trying to do it all yourself with limited time and budget, all while trying to please the people you’re creating for.

Our assets are designed to save you time and help you achieve the best results possible.

If you ever need something, our support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and ready to help you.

“We’ve been using Lens Distortions for a while and they add a nice high-end element to our films.”

White in Revery

Cinematic Wedding Filmmakers

“We needed good, realistic flares. Naturally, Lens Distortions was what we went with. They’re the best ones out there.”

Imaginary Forces

Title Designers for STRANGER THINGS

“I was finding it difficult to create the sound design myself, using all the elements from places like Epidemic Sound and Artlist. The intro on that video got lots of compliments and it was mostly due to LD so I am definitely using it again!”

Alex Gear & Tech

YouTuber

“The quality of selection is much better than any other licensing site I know. I already have a Musicbed subscription, but every time I know I need a really special track that will blow away my clients I come to Lens Distortions.”

Shotlife Studio

Luxury Wedding FIlms

“Lens Distortions is by far the best music I’ve encountered.”

Paul Allen

Filmmaker, Los Angeles

“The one thing about your stuff is that it’s always high-end. Some other sites are really frustrating, they have a lot of stuff but it’s not always good, so you waste a lot of time wading through junk.”

Stephen Green

Freelance Video Editor

“The new platform is INCREDIBLE. Really well built, easy to use, and looks great.”

Zach Worley

Creative Director

“Virtually every project benefits from having Lens Distortions used to treat and layer the frame.”

The Mill

Legendary VFX House

“Lens Distortions, for me, is a must because they have such unique stuff and they put a lot of effort into it. It’s definitely a quality over quantity kind of thing. Very curated… you don’t have to dig through 5 million tracks to find something good.”

Cory Insights

YouTuber

“Accessible and useful. Your music is the best stuff online. Oh and I nearly forgot, the Finishing LUTs are superb; I use them all the time.”

David Baillie

Award Winning DP

“One of my favourite providers of all things film and cannot imagine not being your customer. I use one of your finishing LUTs on every project I do! They are like the glue that holds it all together.”

Jonathan Campbell

Filmmaker/Drone Pilot

“Lens Distortions has THE BEST cinematic tracks for documentary projects in my opinion. I’m regularly drawn to your tracks that have an inquisitive or magical quality to them. Sometimes I’ll listen to your albums just to find new ideas or to think about editing a scene in a different way.”

Bud Simpson

International Director/DP

“The pricing is affordable which I REALLY like. I’ve licensed many tracks through Musicbed but I find their pricing has skyrocketed.”

Asher Shellim

Video Producer
