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 only active 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 at [email protected] to add additional coverage to your plan or upgrade individual projects.

Membership FAQs

No: we price based on the total number of employees of the buying entity (including video and non-video roles), not 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 fewer 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 across all roles, you must purchase a Business plan in order to legally use our assets. Please reach out to us for a quote.

Our Freelance plans cover work for external clients with 1,000 or fewer employees. If you work on projects for clients with more than 1,000 employees, you have two options:

If you only occasionally have large clients, you can start a Freelance plan today, then reach out to us any time you need to upgrade a project for a large client.
If you often have large clients, you can get a quote to increase the client size limit on your plan.

Our Freelance plans cover web and social media advertising, YouTube monetization, and film festival submissions. If you need to use our assets in streaming/broadcast ads, streaming/broadcast programming, theatrical releases, or anything else not covered by our Freelance plan license, please get in touch.

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

Examples of things you cannot do:

Share files or accounts with other people
Make music with our assets or sing over our tracks
Incorporate our assets into any sort of product or app
Upload our assets to Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
Upload assets by themselves to YouTube, Facebook, etc.
Automatically or excessively download our assets

Please review the full license agreement for full terms.

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 don’t worry: this has no 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.

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 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.

No: we only offer annual plans. We’re focused on long-term relationships with customers who benefit from year-round access to world-class assets. While our annual plans are a larger investment up-front, they pay for themselves with only a few projects.

Yes! You can upgrade to a higher plan at any time. Changes will take effect immediately.

If you’re already a member, visit the Upgrade Plan page to choose a new plan and see your prorated price at checkout. Upgrading will always start a new annual period, but you will receive a credit for unused time on your current subscription.

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