Premium Music for Animated Videos
Stop your explainer videos from sounding like every competitor. Music for animated videos recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. Lifetime worldwide sync rights. One payment from €29.90. No subscriptions.
What Is Music for Animated Videos?
Music for animated videos refers to professionally composed and licensed audio tracks specifically designed for use in explainer videos, motion graphics, whiteboard animations, character animations, and kinetic typography. Unlike live-action footage, animation lacks ambient audio cues. The soundtrack carries 100% of the emotional weight, making music selection one of the most consequential production decisions in any animated project.
Artyfile provides music for animated videos at a quality level typically reserved for feature film and broadcast television. Every track is recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios and available from €29.90 with lifetime worldwide sync rights. No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Sync rights managed directly by Artyfile, with no additional collection society fees.

Why Stock Music Undermines Professional Animation
Your explainer video cost $15,000 to produce. The music should not be an afterthought that makes it sound identical to every competitor.
Sonic Homogeneity Kills Brand Perception
Millions of explainer videos use Epidemic Sound and Artlist. Your SaaS product demo sounds indistinguishable from your competitor's onboarding video. When every animated ad shares the same soundtrack, audiences tune out before your message lands.
Subscription Overhead for Agency Workflows
Managing 5-10 creative tool subscriptions across client projects creates administrative burden and licensing risk. Cancel a subscription and your published videos become copyright liabilities. Each platform adds another renewal cycle, another contract to track.
Same Tracks Across Competing SaaS Explainers
Stock libraries recommend the same "upbeat corporate" tracks to every tech company. The result: your $50,000 brand film shares its soundtrack with a competitor's free-tier product tour. Premium animation deserves music that cannot be found on any stock platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What music works best for explainer videos?
The best music for explainer videos depends on the animation style and audience. For SaaS and tech explainers, upbeat electronic or orchestral-electronic hybrids at 110-130 BPM work well. For brand storytelling, cinematic orchestral compositions provide emotional depth. For educational whiteboard animations, light acoustic or minimal piano supports comprehension. Artyfile offers studio-grade compositions recorded at Abbey Road Studios, covering all animation styles from a single catalog.
How do I license music for an animated commercial?
To license music for an animated commercial, you need sync rights (to synchronize music with visual content) and master rights (to use the specific recording). Most platforms require separate negotiations for broadcast use. Artyfile simplifies this by including comprehensive sync and master rights with every purchase from €29.90, covering all distribution channels including TV, cinema, and digital advertising. Sync rights are managed directly by Artyfile, with no additional collection society fees.
Why does my explainer video sound like every other one?
Most explainer videos sound identical because production teams rely on the same subscription music libraries, primarily Epidemic Sound and Artlist. When millions of creators use the same catalog, sonic homogeneity is inevitable. Your SaaS demo sounds like your competitor's onboarding video. Artyfile offers recordings by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, providing music that cannot be found on any stock platform and instantly differentiates your animation.
Can I use the same Artyfile track across multiple animated videos?
Yes. Artyfile's one-time purchase model includes perpetual, multi-project usage rights. One purchase covers unlimited future projects worldwide. Unlike subscription services that may require separate licenses per project, your Artyfile license has no project-count restrictions, no expiration date, and no geographic limitations.
Do I need a subscription to license animation music from Artyfile?
No. Artyfile operates on a no-subscription model. Purchase a track once from €29.90 and receive lifetime worldwide sync rights. No monthly fees, no cancellation risks, no retroactive copyright claims on published videos. Your rights are permanent from the moment of purchase.
What is Artyfile Limited Edition and how does it benefit animation studios?
Artyfile Limited Edition includes full sync rights plus ownership shares in the music master rights. Each share (1% of master) is secured as a Music NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. Animation studios earn quarterly royalties from global streaming and sync licensing whenever others use the same track. This transforms a production expense into a revenue-generating asset. Pay with EUR, USD, or GBP. No cryptocurrency required.
Do I need different music licenses for YouTube and TV broadcast?
With most stock music platforms, yes. Many require separate broadcast licenses or enterprise-tier pricing for TV use. With Artyfile, every purchase includes comprehensive sync rights for all distribution channels: YouTube, social media, broadcast television, cinema, streaming platforms, and digital advertising. One license, every platform, forever.
What tempo and style of music works best for motion graphics?
For dynamic motion graphics, 110-130 BPM provides optimal energy for transitions and visual effects. Calmer infographic animations benefit from 80-100 BPM. Kinetic typography often pairs with rhythmic electronic tracks at 120-140 BPM. Artyfile's catalog spans orchestral, electronic, hybrid, and acoustic genres across all tempos, with 44.1kHz WAV files that enable precise waveform editing in After Effects, Cinema 4D, and other animation tools.
