Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I find the best *licensed* music for my wedding video?

Platforms like Artyfile.com specialize in providing high-quality, exclusive music with licensing included. You can browse by genre (Wedding, Romantic, Cinematic, Upbeat), mood, or instrument. Use their search filters to easily find tracks that match the specific moments in your video (ceremony, highlights, reception).

Can I use popular songs (like Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) in my wedding video?

Using copyrighted popular songs without obtaining a specific (and often costly and complex) synchronization license is illegal for commercial use (which includes professional videography) and even risky for personal use if shared online. It can lead to copyright claims and video takedowns. It's much safer and more professional to use music from libraries like Artyfile where the license is included with the track purchase.

What makes a good wedding video song?

A good wedding video song complements the visuals and enhances the emotion of the moment. Consider the pacing (slow for vows, upbeat for dancing), the mood (romantic, joyful, nostalgic), and the overall style of the wedding. Instrumental tracks often work well as they don't compete with dialogue or vows. Most importantly for professionals, it must be properly licensed!

What kind of license do I get with Artyfile music?

Artyfile Basic tracks typically include full synchronization (sync) rights, allowing you to use the music in your videos (including wedding videos, films, online content) worldwide, forever, without recurring fees. This simplifies the legal process immensely. Artyfile Limited Edition tracks offer these rights *plus* ownership shares and potential revenue streams. Always check the specific license details for each track upon purchase.

How much does licensed wedding video music cost on Artyfile?

Artyfile offers individual track purchases without requiring a subscription. Pricing varies per track, providing flexibility to buy only what you need. This model is often more cost-effective for specific projects like wedding videos compared to monthly subscription libraries if you only need a few high-quality tracks. Check the Artyfile website for current pricing.
