• Market-leading music licensing platform Epidemic Sound launches ‘Sync to video’, enabling content creators to smoothly preview different soundtracks with their video directly on the Epidemic Sound platform
• Tool saves creators time and effort by providing an easy way to try music and sound effects with a video without having to download tracks or have multiple windows open
• The launch follows the release of the company’s most powerful search engine yet, alongside the news it recently hit 40,000 tracks in its catalog for content creators

Stockholm, Sweden – Epidemic Sound, the market-leading music licensing platform for content creators, has launched ‘Sync to video’: an audiovisual previewing tool that enables content creators to sample different tracks in their videos directly on the Epidemic Sound platform.

The tool saves content creators time in the creative process, which is an increasingly important factor for creators who need to publish videos across an expanding landscape of social platforms to reach and grow their audience.

‘Sync to video’ enables creators to play their video file on the Epidemic Sound platform and try music and sound effects with it without having to download tracks or have multiple windows open. It decreases the time it takes to reach the lightbulb moment of finding the perfect soundtrack, and also features a trim function so content creators can select specific sections of their video and try out different soundtracks.

Alternatively, creators who have not yet created a video, but know the mood and style of their next one, can choose from a selection of pre-existing mood videos and use ‘Sync to video’ to find the perfect soundtrack as the base that inspires and guides their own video creation.

“We know creators work in different ways - some use music as the starting point that defines the feel of their video, while others start with the visuals and find the soundtrack later on,” said Greg Elkehag Funk. “Whatever the preference or stage of a content creator’s process, we want to empower them with tools that make soundtracking videos as fast and effective as possible.”

The launch also follows the release of the company’s most powerful search engine yet, alongside the news it recently hit 40,000 tracks in its catalog for content creators.
