Can I use my own footage in Music Video Marketplace?

The Workspace is built around the videos in the catalogue. If you already have your own footage and want to edit it from scratch, an editing app is the closer fit.

Do I need editing experience?

No. Easy mode builds a first cut to your song, and you can switch to the full timeline when you want more control.

Is it really one price for footage and editor?

Yes. The £19.99 membership includes the video, the formats and the Workspace.

Music Video Marketplace vs editing apps and templates
