Epidemic Sound Soundmatch

Soundmatch is a feature that helps video creators quickly find suitable music by analyzing the video and generating matching soundtrack recommendations. It is designed for individuals and teams creating videos who want an efficient way to pair visuals with music without manual searching. The tool integrates into Epidemic Sound’s music platform and can be used when logged in and navigating the music tab. It emphasizes speed and accuracy in matching music to video content.

Soundmatch works by identifying what a video shot contains, producing keywords for a semantic search, and leveraging large-scale data insights to refine recommendations. It relies on data from YouTube views to inform what keywords are typically used, helping it surface relevant tracks.

The system provides users with a list of tracks that fit each visual scene, intending to streamline the soundtrack selection process. It supports quick workflows where users place a marker on the video segment to soundtrack and then request matches, receiving recommendations in a short time.

Soundmatch is an ongoing product feature with a focus on expanding capabilities, including an API option described as the Soundtrack API.
