Music Editions
When using music editions, adhere to the following rules:
Always use the respective edition length when making a video, for example, a 30-second edition for a 30-second video.
Do NOT use an edition that is shorter or longer than the exact time needed. For example, do not use two 30-second edition tracks for a 60-second video. Instead, use the 60-second edition.
If you require a specific track length that isn’t one of the standard lengths (15, 30, 60 seconds, etc.), reach out to Sonic Minds.
Remember to always include the audio logo at the end of the video if the visual logo is present.
Do NOT cut, shorten or in any way alter the audio logo.
If deemed appropriate, start a video with the MTA Solutions Audio Logo instead of placing it at the end.
Do
Use editions for standard video lengths.
Don’t
Use editions for non-standard video lengths, instead contact Sonic Minds to create a custom track.
