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, delivered with a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use in your projects (including commercial), no extra subscription required. 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.
