HOW IT WORKS

Step 1.  Sign Up:

Set up an account with us by filling out and submitting our online Usage Agreement below. This basically says that you agree to report and pay for the music that you use.

*Please note this form is for companies based in the US and Canada only. If you are based in another country, please visit our Distributor page and contact the appropriate distributor to setup an account.*
 
 


Step 2.  Get the Music:

Once we receive your signed Usage Agreement, we’ll send you discs of the entire VideoHelper and ScoreHelper Libraries on our dime and/or give you access to download the libraries online.  You don’t have to pay anything up front - you only pay when you use the music. 

To use our online search engine, you'll need to register on the site to pick your own username and password. Go to www.playvideohelper.com and click the "Register Now" link. Once you've registered, we will approve your account for downloads.


Step 3.  Use and License the Music:

Once you’ve used the music in a production, you have to license and report it to us. Just fill out one of our License Applications and fax it in to 212-633-9014. You can also report your usage online. We’ll then send you an invoice/license.  This is the only time that you pay for the music.

CAN I HEAR A DEMO?
 Yes. Yes you can.
How many CDs do you have?
We currently have over 2600 titles, available on 40 CDs. You can view our online catalog to see all of the titles in our library.

HOW MUCH DOES YOUR MUSIC COST?
Our music is licensed. The cost varies depending on how and where it is used. You can view our rates on our license application/rate sheet or give us a ring and we’ll be happy to provide you with a quote.

 

If you are interested in a yearly blanket license of our library, please give us a call to see if you are eligible. 212-633-7009

ARE YOU ROYALTY-FREE OR LICENSE?
We are a license library, meaning you pay when you actually use the music, often called “needledrop”.  We are not buy out, nor royalty-free.  Please call us if you have any questions regarding licensing.  212-633-7009.
HOW IS VIDEOHELPER DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LIBRARIES?

 It's the only library designed from the ground up to think like a producer. Here’s how:
 
• Sonically arresting and visually stimulating!
 
• Incredible editability! Each cut has:
 
                – Hits & stings every five seconds!
                – Pastable endings!
                – No key or tempo changes!
                – Loopable sections!
                – multiple Builds to a climax!
 
• Every cut tells a story, not just reproduces a genre!
 
• Track descriptions that are actually useful!
 
• Not all of our music is even music!
 
• Over 55 different titles per disc!
 
• Not ONE sax solo in our entire library!
 
• Tons of exclamation points! Help! I can’t stop!
 
• Variations in mood and instrumentation within each cut!
 
• Look & Load – our entire library on one searchable DVD!

• Experimental sound design CDs!
CAN I SEARCH AND DOWNLOAD MUSIC ONLINE?
Yes, we have an online search engine that provides multiple media options for downloading.

 
DO YOUR LIBRARIES COME IN OTHER FORMATS?
In addition to CDs and online downloads, all of our music is available on hard drive and DVD for qualified clients. 
 
Look & Load is our superfast search engine, catalog, and MP3 library all on one DVD. 
 
Our hard drives come preloaded with full-bandwidth (16-bit / 44.1k) files and feature Speedway software for easy searching and auditioning as well as a full copy of Look & Load.
 
Please call for more information - 212.633.7009.
HOW LONG DOES A LICENSE LAST?
All licenses are granted in perpetuity, which means as long as the production does not change, the license will last forever. As long as the production is properly licensed, there is no limit to the number times the production can be broadcast or used. If the production changes in any way, it must be re-licensed as a new production. In industry terms: New Slate# = New Production. Please contact us if you have any questions.
WHAT DO I DO IF I STILL HAVE A QUESTION?
