For those looking to speed up their workflows, particularly for editors who are already using elevate.io’s collaborative video editing platform, this is exciting news if you’d like to more quickly find, license, and use royalty-free music or sound effects in your project.
Blackbird plc (the parent company of elevate.io) has announced a new partnership with the royalty-free music platform Epidemic Sound to bring the latter’s large royalty-free music catalog directly into elevate.io’s collaborative video editing platform.
Let’s take a look at what this partnership and integration mean for speeding up your edits and workflows.
elevate.io and Epidemic Sound
Announced as a partnership between the two brands, Epidemic Sound’s catalog of royalty-free music and sound effects will be available in elevate.io’s collaborative video editing platform immediately. The goal here is to give editors on this platform the ability to work more quickly and seamlessly, as they’ll be able to instantly find and add music and sound effects to their content.
“Music is fundamental to great storytelling, it’s what gives video content its emotion and energy. Rather than sending creators off to find tracks elsewhere, we’ve built it directly into the elevate.io platform. World-class music, right there in users’ workflows. No interruptions, just creativity and complete peace of mind. This is a huge moment for the Company and we’re incredibly excited” — Ian McDonough, executive chair for Blackbird.
What’s neat about this partnership is that if you’re already using elevate.io’s video editing platform for your collaborative edits, then you’re automatically getting more music and sound effects available at your fingertips.

Something New for Content Creation
While not as popular as the big NLEs like Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro, elevate.io’s collaborative video editing platform is a nice option for video editing teams looking for a browser-based option for editing short or long-form content.
“This is an excellent example of the Epidemic Sound API enabling creative platforms to grow their customer offering through music. The elevate.io team have done an amazing job integrating our catalogue into their collaborative video editor and we’re excited to see how their creators and brands use our tracks to take their content to the next level. We’re delighted to continue supporting the development of the elevate.io platform through world class-music and soundtracking.” — Matt Sage, interim chief product officer, Epidemic Sound.
Adding music and sound effects could certainly help speed up edits and provide more assets and options for those already using the platform to support their collaborative, co-creating style of edits.

Price and Availability
This integration of the full Epidemic Sound library into elevate.io’s editing platform is available immediately; however, it requires users to use a token system, which allows them to purchase through their subscription accounts.
