How do Credits work?
Credits are the currency of EdiTed Music. Every action consumes a fixed number of credits — so you always know exactly what it costs.
What is a credit?
A credit is a unit of use in EdiTed Music. Every time the system searches for music, credits are deducted from your account. You get 100 free credits on signup — enough to get started right away.
Every search draws from two possible sources — EdiTed's own royalty-free Library (on by default) and Epidemic Sound (optional) — with the source choice not affecting the credit cost.
Music Search
The system analyzes your scene — audio, mood, tempo, and speech — and finds the most suitable track from EdiTed's Library and/or Epidemic Sound, depending on the sources you pick. The result comes processed and volume-adjusted, ready to drop into the timeline.
Multiple Songs
Segments your full timeline and finds a track per segment — from EdiTed's Library and/or Epidemic Sound. Charged 1 credit per minute of video upfront, plus 10 credits for each song actually delivered.

Two sources — Library included, Epidemic Sound optional
By default, EdiTed Music searches its own royalty-free Library — tracks EdiTed owns or licenses directly. Library access is included with an active Library or Pro subscription: use tracks worldwide in your projects (including commercial) with no royalties, and anything you publish while subscribed stays licensed forever. Using a track in new material requires an active subscription. You can also opt in to search Epidemic Sound, or both. Epidemic Sound tracks require an active Epidemic Sound subscription — EdiTed finds the track, Epidemic Sound provides the license. See our Terms of Service for the full license terms.
