    How memberships work

    A membership is an auto-renewing subscription that allows you to download individual files from our platform.

    Your license to edit with these files is active only during your subscription period. Projects completed while subscribed are licensed forever.

    Our Freelance memberships offer coverage for specific placements types. If you work on projects beyond what’s covered by your membership plan, simply reach out to our licensing team to add additional coverage to your plan or upgrade individual projects.

    Membership FAQs

    No, we price based on the total employee size of the buying entity buying (including video and non-video roles), not based on the number of users.

    The Freelance plan is for freelance work and is exclusively available to a self-employed individual or company with 7 or less employees total (including video and non-video roles).

    If you are an in-house editor at a brand, agency, or any organization with 8+ employees (all roles) you must purchase a Business plan in order to legally use our assets. Please contact [email protected] for a quote.

    Assets must be “synchronized” into a video or podcast project with other media and may not be used on their own.

    If you choose to cancel, your membership will remain active until the end of your current subscription period.

    Once your subscription ends, you will no longer have permission to use any assets you’ve downloaded in new projects.

    Don’t worry, any projects you already published while your membership was active are covered forever and you will not retroactively receive copyright claims.

    Membership fees are not refundable.

    Yes! Upload to YouTube with confidence! We’ll never mute a Member’s video or have it removed.

    Our assets are registered with YouTube’s Content ID system and YouTube will notify you that it has detected copyrighted music in your video. But not to worry, this has negative effect on your video or channel.

    If you want to monetize your channel, simply connect your YouTube channel to your Lens Distortions account to pre-clear the channel for use with our assets. The number of YouTube channels you can register varies based on your membership.

    Freelancer – Up to 3 channels

    Production Co – Up to 10 Channels

    Small Brand – Up to 3 Channels

    Alternatively, you can create singe-use license codes to include when uploading your video in lieu of registering your channel. This option is great for clients you don’t work with on an ongoing basis.

    Rest assured, videos cleared while your membership is active remain cleared forever.

    Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, etc are already cleared and do not currently require you to register your account or use License Codes.

    Memberships are the most affordable way to get access to everything you need for your projects. You pay a recurring susbcription fee to get ongoing access to our platform and download individual files to use while a member.

    Projects completed while a member are licensed forever, but the assets themselves are not. i.e., You need to have an active membership to edit with any assets you’ve downloaded via a membership.

    Purchasing an individual product (e.g. a single SFX library) allows you to pay a one-time fee to download all the files in that specific library and use them forever, subject to the terms of the product license displayed at time of purchase.

    Music is exclusively available through memberships or by licensing individual tracks for a specific project. We do not “sell” music as a product.

    Memberships provide access to our platform to quickly find and download individual assets as needed for projects. They aren’t intended for the member to have entire albums or libraries downloaded to their hard drive.

    You’re certainly welcome to download as many individual assets as you genuinely need for your current projects, but to prevent abuse, our system may notify you if it detects excessive downloading. Most members rarely run into this as they usually only download a handful of files on any given day.

    Projects completed while a member are licensed forever, but the assets you download aren’t. Since the assets downloaded during membership are only licensed for use while a member, it wouldn’t be feasible to deliver entire libraries to members as they would have hundreds/thousands of unlicensed files floating around on their computers if they chose to cancel their membership. 

    You can create a free account and download a watermarked preview of any music track and add assets to project playlists.

    These “temp tracks” are great for seeing if a track is a good fit for your project or client. Simply activate a membership when you’re ready to officially use a track.

    Yes! You can upgrade to a higher plan anytime and receive a one-time proration. Changes will take effect immediately.

    If you’re already a member, visit the Upgrade Plan page choose a new plan and see your prorated price at checkout.

    The first time you switch your Membership plan, our system will automatically calculate the value of the unused time left on your initial plan and adjust the amount due on your new plan. This is a one-time proration and will not carry over should you choose to switch the plan associated with your membership again in the future.

    If the value of your unused time on your initial plan is greater than the cost of your new plan, your “Next Renewal Date” will also be extended. No refunds are given.

    Please note the “Total Due Today” and “First Renewal” on the checkout screen to understand what and when you will pay.

    If you have a project that exceeds the scope of what the membership allows, you can purchase an extended license to upgrade that specific project for wider placements/distribution.
