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 from plan-to-plan.
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.
Subscribing is the most affordable way to get access to everything you need for your projects. You pay a recurring 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.

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 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.
