Its AI features are retrieval and editing tools: Search by video suggests tracks from your video's frames, Find similar surfaces tracks matching a reference, and Studio syncs catalogue music and sound effects to a video timeline automatically. It also offers AI voiceovers and an experimental Labs section.

Commercial use — Vendor states commercial use is permitted

Epidemic Sound owns all rights to its catalogue: 'we own all rights to our music and can offer users a direct license with all rights included, globally.' Content you publish during an active subscription remains cleared permanently, but after cancellation new content is not covered.

The licence notes recorded during research were read for a commercial-use position and did not state one. Read the licence before you rely on any of this. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and this site does not tell you a model is cleared for commercial use.

Strengths

  • Human-made catalogue with a single direct global licence - no AI copyright ambiguity
  • Content published while subscribed stays cleared permanently
  • AI search and video-sync tools genuinely speed up editorial
  • Sound effects, music and AI voiceovers in one subscription
  • Desktop and NLE plugins

Weaknesses

  • Not a generative music model - no custom composition
  • Tracks are non-exclusive and widely used
  • Clearance for new content stops when the subscription ends
  • Pricing tiers and prices not retrievable from a fetchable page
  • No public API documented

Where the sources disagree

Recorded rather than resolved. Picking the tidier number would hide the fact that the vendor's own pages do not agree.

What to understand before using it

Shotcraft hosts no sample output. Judging a model means watching its own showreel with your own eyes, and a clip re-hosted here would be a clip we chose.
