Music Video Distribution Requirements to all other DSPs
Music video content: You will need to have a completed music video that is ready for distribution. This includes having the audio and video components finalized, edited, and synced.
Rights and clearances: You must obtain all necessary rights and clearances for your music video, including clearance for any copyrighted material used in the video (such as music, images, and video footage).
Distribution platform: You will need to choose a distribution platform to release your music video. There are many options available, including YouTube, Vimeo, Vevo, and social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Metadata: You will need to prepare and include metadata for your music video, including the artist's name, song title, album title (if applicable), release date, and copyright information. This metadata helps ensure that digital platforms properly identify and track your music video.
Marketing plan: You will need to develop a marketing plan to promote your music video and build an audience. This may include creating social media posts, reaching out to music bloggers and influencers, and running targeted advertising campaigns.
Budget: You may need a budget for marketing and distribution costs, such as paying for distribution fees or hiring a publicist to help promote your music video.
Performance rights organization (PRO) membership: If you plan to earn royalties from your music video, you will need to be a member of a performance rights organization such as ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. These organizations collect royalties on behalf of songwriters and music publishers and distribute them accordingly.
