The Truth about Artlist in 2024...
Artlist - rebrand.ly/mnggwfi
(link adds two free months!)
This is an honest review of Artlist, one of the most popular royalty free music sites for creators in 2024. With fierce competition from Epidemic Sound, Musicbed and others, Artlist has evolved into Artlist MAX. They now provide royalty free music, sound effects, footage, templates, and plugins. But is Artlist Max worth it?

Great video thank you. Just a question. Can you use all artlist templates in hitfilm or do you need another software program like final Cut Pro?
great summary! thank you. been considering to add artgrid to the audio stuff
Love these videos and honestly really appreciate you putting them out every year! I'm going with Epidemic Sound this year to see how I like using stems. Thanks for all your work on these videos!

How Can you upgrade your plan from the pro to max plan
What a great video! Too bad I found it after purchasing my sub hah. Quick question though, I'm editing videos for a client's Instagram page however it seems the invite link for the Clearlist only works for YT. Is there something else to be done when editing for Instagram or does the client just upload it without adding it to the Clearlist and just hope for the best? Thank you very much!

I’m not familiar with clearing for client’s instagram, personally - but I would guess you just hope for the best and contest the claim with your license number should it arise.
HI, I have a Question, If you are using Artlist music, SFX and footage for a feature long Mockumentary/Documentary that you hope to release in the film festivals, is that also cleared by copyright and license once you have a subscription? Thanks

Yep! Here’s from artlist’s help center: “With a Music & SFX Pro, any Footage & Templates or Max plans license, you're covered to show your films in places like movie theaters, film festivals, cinema screenings, streaming and OTT services, premium channels, TV, KZread, Vimeo, and more”

please can someone help I been paying for artlist for about 2 yrs but recently its started only playing a 20 second preview. I really used to like it playing the whole song and going to the next afterwards so i could continuously listen till I found a decent song do you know how I can make this happen again as its so fustrating having to keep going to the next while im working. Its a cool platform but will cancel account and going to another service if I cant fix this, Many thanks in advance :)

Turn off the button that says "Highlights" on the navigation just above the first track. It's the right-most button. It's on by default because it speeds up screening. It works for me because I don't want to take forever to search and screen tracks. His preview feature let's you hear the key section of the song right away. if you want to hear from the beginning, just click the start of the song. But if it doesn't work for you, just turn "Highlights" off.

Is the licensing still as powerful as before? or have it change any? now I do not edit video much but if I am to start Artilist is the service I would go for, that is if the license is the same as before.

The licensing has been changed. You can post/create videos while you have an active subscription, but if your subscription ends you aren’t able to post new videos with their music. Any of the videos posted prior to the subscription cancellation will remain cleared forever though. This is the same sort of licensing system as Epidemic sound and many other services.

Actually, browsing does make sense for some of us because we don't always have a shot idea in mind. I might have a story in mind, but that story can be interpreted many different ways with different imagery. I've also been known to start from imagery and build a story around it. That being said, I have browsed for inspiration on stock footage sites MANY times.

@@dajew915 That's correct. Without an active subscription, you will not be able to use that intro music if it's from Artlist.

Here to tell you it is untrue copyright clearing is easy because the music in artlist is also represented by different companies and individuals who will claim copyright themselves. In this case artlist is unable to directly assist you in clearing and will only let both parties know of the issue. The clearing itself needs to be done by the people who actually own the music on artlist and this will vary vastly from a couple of days to never. Actually in Korea it's almost always never unless you email them everyday for months or threaten to take them to court. Honestly I thought artlist was there so we didn't have to do all this, it doesn't seem to actually make a difference for the creators here.
Please make a video on how to unsubscribe from artlist
6:18 I agree so many fake creators saying " cinematic " trying sound like cinematographers.

Artlist is not even half as good as it used to be. A song once licensed used to be valid for infinite projects and infinite years. But now the song license is valid only for the duration of the paid subscription. I miss the good old Artlist. Now there are far better alternatives available.

@@JosephMartin By significantly downgrading their licensing model, Artlist has revoked the power of lifetime licensing, forcing creators to continually pay for music they've already licensed. This change puts Artlist at a competitive disadvantage, as many other stock music providers offer lifetime licenses. These lifetime licenses grant independent creators more flexibility and long-term cost savings, eliminating the need to repurchase music for every new or re-uploaded video. Unfortunately, many creators may still be unaware of these superior alternatives, which is the only reason services like Artlist thrives.

Hi Joesph, thanks for this video. However, I have a different issue: / Artilist does not remove the watermark even on purchased subscription. I just subscribed to the monthly package and downloaded two videos. They're of standard quality, with the watermark still visible. This is unthinkable. I cancelled my subscription. For higher resolution, they asked you to subscribe for Max. If anyone wants to create your own music videos using Artilist videos, I do not recommend. Why? Because they display the watermark. I'm not angry, but a bit disappointed with Artilist [not with Joe, you're brilliant. 👍(I'll remove this comment after Artilist reply to my email.) [100% genuine case.] ❤

Hi Sumed! It sounds to me like you signed up for the Music and SFX social plan, is this correct? This plan only covers Music and SFX downloads, so any footage or templates will still have a watermark or be undownloadable. To download footage from Artlist you need either the footage and templates plan or the Max plan. Hope this clarified things! Let me know :)
