How memberships work

A membership is an auto-renewing subscription that allows you to download individual files from our platform.

Your license to edit with these files is active only during your subscription period. Projects completed while subscribed are licensed forever.

Our standard memberships offer coverage for specific project types. If you work on projects beyond what’s covered by your membership plan, simply reach out to our licensing team to add additional coverage to your plan or upgrade individual projects.

Membership FAQs

No, we price based on the total size of the entity buying (employee headcount), not based on the number of users.

The Freelancer plan is exclusively available to an individual person/self-employed individual with no employer and no employees (in any role).

If you work at a company or are a business owner with employees in any role, you must purchase a Production Co, Small Brand, or Enterprise plan in order to legally use our assets.

All memberships cover social media networks, website videos, web advertising, podcast platforms, and YouTube monetization.

Assets must be “synchronized” into a video or podcast project with other media and may not be used on their own.

Freelancer and Production Co. plans cover client work, subject to the client size limit of the membership.

Streaming (Netflix, Hulu, etc), broadcast, theatrical, etc require an extended license.

Please review the full license agreement for more details.

Assets must be “synchronized” into a video or podcast project with other media and may not be used on their own. Assets may not be used to create new musical works.

Examples of things you cannot do:

  • Share files or accounts with other people (memberships are for a single person)
  • Make music with our assets or sing over our tracks
  • Incorporate our assets into any sort of product or app
  • Upload our assets to Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
  • Upload assets by themselves to YouTube, Facebook, etc.
  • Automated or excessive downloading

Please review the full license agreement for full terms.

If you choose to cancel, your membership will remain active until the end of your current subscription period.

Once your subscription ends, you will no longer have permission to use any assets you’ve downloaded in new projects.

Don’t worry, any projects you already published while your membership was active are covered forever and you will not retroactively receive copyright claims.

Membership fees are not refundable.

Yes! Upload to YouTube with confidence! We’ll never mute a Member’s video or have it removed.

Our assets are registered with YouTube’s Content ID system and YouTube will notify you that it has detected copyrighted music in your video. But not to worry, this has negative effect on your video or channel.

If you want to monetize your channel, simply connect your YouTube channel to your Lens Distortions account to pre-clear the channel for use with our assets. The number of YouTube channels you can register varies based on your membership.

Freelancer – Up to 3 channels

Production Co – Up to 10 Channels

Small Brand – Up to 3 Channels

Alternatively, you can create singe-use license codes to include when uploading your video in lieu of registering your channel. This option is great for clients you don’t work with on an ongoing basis.

Rest assured, videos cleared while your membership is active remain cleared forever.

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, etc are already cleared and do not currently require you to register your account or use License Codes.

Memberships are the most affordable way to get access to everything you need for your projects. You pay a recurring susbcription fee to get ongoing access to our platform and download individual files to use while a member.

Projects completed while a member are licensed forever, but the assets themselves are not. i.e., You need to have an active membership to edit with any assets you’ve downloaded via a membership.

Purchasing an individual product (e.g. a single SFX library) allows you to pay a one-time fee to download all the files in that specific library and use them forever, subject to the terms of the product license displayed at time of purchase.

Music is exclusively available through memberships or by licensing individual tracks for a specific project. We do not “sell” music as a product.

Memberships provide access to our platform to quickly find and download individual assets as needed for projects. They aren’t intended for the member to have entire albums or libraries downloaded to their hard drive.

You’re certainly welcome to download as many individual assets as you genuinely need for your current projects, but to prevent abuse, our system may notify you if it detects excessive downloading. Most members rarely run into this as they usually only download a handful of files on any given day.

Projects completed while a member are licensed forever, but the assets you download aren’t. Since the assets downloaded during membership are only licensed for use while a member, it wouldn’t be feasible to deliver entire libraries to members as they would have hundreds/thousands of unlicensed files floating around on their computers if they chose to cancel their membership. 

You can create a free account and download a watermarked preview of any music track and add assets to project playlists.

These “temp tracks” are great for seeing if a track is a good fit for your project or client. Simply activate a membership when you’re ready to officially use a track.

Yes! You can upgrade to a higher plan anytime and receive a one-time proration. Changes will take effect immediately.

If you’re already a member, visit the Upgrade Plan page choose a new plan and see your prorated price at checkout.

The first time you switch your Membership plan, our system will automatically calculate the value of the unused time left on your initial plan and adjust the amount due on your new plan. This is a one-time proration and will not carry over should you choose to switch the plan associated with your membership again in the future.

If the value of your unused time on your initial plan is greater than the cost of your new plan, your “Next Renewal Date” will also be extended. No refunds are given.

Please note the “Total Due Today” and “First Renewal” on the checkout screen to understand what and when you will pay.

If you have a project that exceeds the scope of what the membership allows, you can purchase an extended license to upgrade that specific project for wider placements/distribution.

“We’ve been using Lens Distortions for a while and they add a nice high-end element to our films.”
White in Revery
Cinematic Wedding Filmmakers
“We needed good, realistic flares. Naturally, Lens Distortions was what we went with. They’re the best ones out there.”
Imaginary Forces
Title Designers for STRANGER THINGS
“I was finding it difficult to create the sound design myself, using all the elements from places like Epidemic Sound and Artlist. The intro on that video got lots of compliments and it was mostly due to LD so I am definitely using it again!”
Alex Gear & Tech
YouTuber
“The quality of selection is much better than any other licensing site I know. I already have a Musicbed subscription, but every time I know I need a really special track that will blow away my clients I come to Lens Distortions.”
Shotlife Studio
Luxury Wedding FIlms
“Lens Distortions is by far the best music I’ve encountered.”
Paul Allen
Filmmaker, Los Angeles
“The one thing about your stuff is that it’s always high-end. Some other sites are really frustrating, they have a lot of stuff but it’s not always good, so you waste a lot of time wading through junk.”
Stephen Green
Freelance Video Editor
“The new platform is INCREDIBLE. Really well built, easy to use, and looks great.”
Zach Worley
Creative Director
“There’s something about the style of everything you guys make that really resonates with me and the kind of work I enjoy doing!”
Richard Mills
Writer, Director, Producer
“Virtually every project benefits from having Lens Distortions used to treat and layer the frame.”
The Mill
Legendary VFX House
“Lens Distortions, for me, is a must because they have such unique stuff and they put a lot of effort into it. It’s definitely a quality over quantity kind of thing. Very curated… you don’t have to dig through 5 million tracks to find something good.”
Cory Insights
YouTuber
“Accessible and useful. Your music is the best stuff online. Oh and I nearly forgot, the Finishing LUTs are superb; I use them all the time.”
David Baillie
Award Winning DP
“One of my favourite providers of all things film and cannot imagine not being your customer. I use one of your finishing LUTs on every project I do! They are like the glue that holds it all together.”
Jonathan Campbell
Filmmaker/Drone Pilot
“Lens Distortions has THE BEST cinematic tracks for documentary projects in my opinion. I’m regularly drawn to your tracks that have an inquisitive or magical quality to them. Sometimes I’ll listen to your albums just to find new ideas or to think about editing a scene in a different way.”
Bud Simpson
International Director/DP
“The pricing is affordable which I REALLY like. I’ve licensed many tracks through Musicbed but I find their pricing has skyrocketed.”
Asher Shellim
Video Producer
“I really love the uniqueness of your assets, especially the SFX. Highly recommended!”
