Sounds in the Cloud: Rumblefish Partners with Cloud-Based Video Editing Suite WeVideo to Bring Cleared Music to Small Businesses

Micro-licensing pioneers Rumblefish continue to find innovative avenues for millions of creators to enhance their work with copyright-cleared music, and give artists and labels new ways to benefit from the social video explosion. In an exclusive partnership with WeVideo, Rumblefish is helping small businesses create professional-grade videos in the cloud, using WeVideo’s strong video creation platform.

“This partnership brings high-quality, compelling content from our extensive catalog right to small businesses, with minimal fuss or friction,” states Rumblefish Marketing Manager Molly King. “And it also brings an ongoing revenue stream to our artists.

This is but one recent partnership struck between the micro-licensing powerhouse and a growing list of leading video and other apps and platforms, such as Shutterstock. These relationships serve both video creators looking to avoid copyright takedown hassles and musicians looking to find new ways to place their tracks. By building connections with key players, as well as in unexpected places, in the digital music space, Rumblefish is demonstrating the viability of micro-licensing, proving that “micro” is a misnomer.

“You can call it ‘micro,’ but we’re licensing 13 songs a minute,” notes King. “That activity adds up to an increasingly sustainable income stream for artists and an increasingly exciting creative space for video makers to play in.”

WeVideo provides such an inspiring, intuitive space. This latest expansion, WeVideo for Business, provides a simple, yet powerful video creation suite that gives small-business marketers affordable, easy-to-use, in-house video production. Now it’s remarkably simple to craft a compelling video—complete with well-matched, copyright-cleared music.

“WeVideo for Business removes the complexity and makes it easy and affordable for small-business marketers to create their own videos in house,” said Jostein Svendsen, cofounder and CEO of WeVideo. “The addition of music micro-licensing from industry leader Rumblefish enables WeVideo users to take their story-telling to new levels of quality and impact.”

And Rumblefish keeps the sound side makes the audio aspect of story-telling simple: Pick a track from a curated collection of songs, add it to your video, and it’s ready to share.
