- Worldwide & lifetime — never expires
- Never blocked, muted or struck
Verdict
A “free” track can fail at the delivery stage
Free and Creative-Commons tracks rarely include master rights, often demand attribution that clashes with your film credits, and can still be claimed on YouTube — so they fall down at E&O review, exactly when a distribution deal is on the line.
Every Artyfile track clears sync + master together in one lifetime, worldwide licence from €29.90 — real orchestral recordings with documented rights, ready for festival, broadcast, VOD and theatrical. Or own a share of the score and earn.
Can I legally use this music in my film — at festivals, on TV and on streaming?
Yes — and that is the whole point. A film needs two separate music rights cleared: a synchronization licence (to pair the music with your picture) and a master-use licence (to that specific recording). Missing or partial rights are one of the most common reasons a distribution deal stalls and a leading trigger of Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance claims. Every Artyfile track clears both rights together, in one licence, managed directly by Artyfile — worldwide and in perpetuity. That gives you a clean chain of title and the documentation festivals, broadcasters and streamers ask for, so your film stays cleared whether it screens at a festival, airs on television or streams worldwide.
Why "free" and subscription music break at the distribution stage
The cheapest options fail exactly when a film matters most — at delivery. "Free" and Creative-Commons tracks rarely include master rights, often demand attribution that collides with your credits, and can still be claimed on YouTube. Subscription libraries are worse for a film's long lifecycle: some licences are only valid if you publish while you are still paying, so a film that sits in the festival circuit for a year can lose its coverage before it is even distributed. Artyfile is a one-time buyout — yours forever, never revoked — built for the full festival-to-distribution timeline.
A real orchestra — where it matters most
Film is where recording quality is heard. Artyfile's orchestral catalogue is performed by real players — including the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios under composer Paul Lorenz (30 years, 500M+ streams) — and produced to film-score standard. That is the depth and emotion AI-generated music and MIDI-only stock libraries cannot fake, and unlike AI tracks every recording has clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence. Preview every track free before you license it.

Own the score, do not just rent it

How it's made
A real orchestra. At Abbey Road. For your video.
Every Artyfile orchestral score begins where the great film scores do — real players in a real room. The London Symphony Orchestra performs at Abbey Road Studios in London under composer Paul Lorenz, then the recording is finished with the professional studio craft used on modern film scores. That is the depth and humanity AI-generated music and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake — and, unlike AI tracks, every recording carries clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence.

Distribution-ready
Will this music survive festival, broadcast and distribution?
For a film, the music has to clear the hardest gate in the industry: a distributor or streamer’s chain-of-title and E&O review. Missing or partial music rights are one of the most common reasons a distribution deal stalls. Here’s what that gate demands — and what a single Artyfile licence already gives you.
What festivals, broadcasters & E&O insurers require
- A synchronization licence (the right to pair the music with your picture)
- A separate master-use licence (the right to that specific recording)
- Worldwide rights, valid in perpetuity — not just while a subscription runs
- Clean, documented chain of title for every cue in your film
- No third-party claim, block or takedown once the film is distributed
What one Artyfile licence gives you
- Sync + master cleared together, in one licence — managed directly by Artyfile
- Lifetime, worldwide use: theatrical, festival, broadcast, VOD and streaming
- Yours forever — a one-time buyout, never revoked if you stop paying
- Clear human authorship and fully documented rights for your clearance log
- No GEMA upcharge, no Content ID blocks or strikes
A “free”, Creative-Commons or subscription track can leave you uncovered at exactly this stage — no master rights, or attribution that conflicts with your credits. Some licences even lapse the moment you stop paying. Artyfile is a one-time buyout, built for a film’s full festival-to-distribution lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Artyfile music in a film shown at festivals, on TV and on streaming platforms?
Yes. Every track carries a worldwide synchronization and master-use licence that never expires, so your film is cleared for festival screenings, theatrical and broadcast, VOD and streaming — anywhere, for the life of the film.
Do I need a separate sync and master license for film music?
A film needs both: a synchronization licence (to pair the music with your picture) and a master-use licence (to the specific recording). Artyfile clears both together in one licence, managed directly — so you are never left with only half the rights.
Will the music cause problems with E&O insurance or my distributor’s chain of title?
No — it is built to pass exactly that review. Missing music rights are a top reason deals stall. Artyfile gives you documented sync + master rights, clear human authorship and a clean chain of title for your clearance log and cue sheet.
How much does it cost to license music for a film?
Artyfile Basic is a one-time €29.90 per track for a lifetime, worldwide licence — no subscription, no per-project quote and no renewals. Some premium tracks carry individual pricing shown on the track. You download a studio-grade 44.1 kHz WAV instantly.
Is this a real orchestral recording or MIDI / AI music?
Real recordings. Artyfile’s orchestral catalogue is performed by real players — including the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios under composer Paul Lorenz — and produced to film-score standard, with clear human authorship and documented rights AI and MIDI-only libraries cannot offer.
Is Artyfile film music royalty-free, and are there extra GEMA fees?
It goes beyond royalty-free: you pay once (from €29.90) for a lifetime, worldwide sync + master licence. Because Artyfile manages both rights directly, there are no additional GEMA or collection-society fees and no recurring costs. The catalogue is registered with GEMA for worldwide monitoring; licensing runs directly through Artyfile.
Can I earn from the score or own the music?
Yes — with Artyfile Limited Edition (from €96.90) you own 1–10% of the master recording as a Music NFT and earn from streaming and future sync licences when the track is used again. License the music safely, or own a piece of it.
