SundaySky is now integrated with Storyblocks, a stock music library with over 30,000 premium tracks in a wide variety of genres and moods. This music library is replacing our legacy library that had a limited number of tracks. Because of this upgrade and the sunsetting of the legacy library, you'll need to switch the legacy track in the video with a track from the new Storyblocks music library.
You'll need to switch the tracks in all of the videos that use a legacy track, both those that are in draft mode and those that you have already published.
In Your Videos, you can identify the videos in which you need to switch tracks by the caution icon that is displayed beneath them:
Yes. You also need to republish the video.
This is why you will also see the caution icon beneath videos in which you've switched the track but haven't yet republished the video.
Our help article, Adding Music to a Video, provides step-by-step guidelines on how to do this.
To make this task a little easier for you, our sound designers have located tracks in the new stock music library that are very similar to those in the legacy library. In the help article Recommendations for Switching Tracks, you can find our suggestions.
For any assistance, please be in touch with your Success Manager who can help you in locating the perfect track for your video.
The stock music library, with over 30,000 tracks, is where you'll search for and select a track for a new video. See our help article Adding Music to a Video for step-by-step guidelines on how to do this.
You'll need to switch the music track in all the relevant videos by February 28, 2023.
If you do not switch the music track in a video, our sound designers will switch the track based on our recommendations.
Note that if you switched the track in a video but didn't republish, it is as if you did not switch the music track. In such a case also, our sound designers will switch the track based on our recommendations.
If the video has been distributed commercially (social channel, YouTube, website, etc.), the legacy music track needs to be replaced with a track from the new stock music library as the licensing will be out of date. In such a case, here are the actions you'll need to take:
1) Switch the music track in the video to a track from the new stock music library.
2) Republish the video.
3) Replace the old video with the republished video.
For any assistance, please be in touch with your Success Manager who can help you with this process.
If the video has been downloaded as an MP4 file, the legacy music track needs to be replaced with a track from the new stock music library as the licensing will be out of date. In such a case, here are the actions you'll need to take:
1) Switch the music track in the video to a track from the new stock music library.
2) Republish the video.
3) Redownload the video as an MP4 file.
4) Replace the file on your channel.
For any assistance, please be in touch with your Success Manager who can help you with this process.
