How to use Epidemic Sound’s full-length tracks on TikTok
Want to use full-length tracks on TikTok without being muted? Epidemic Sound’s got you covered.
TikTok’s one-minute music rule is nothing new. If you use more than 60 seconds of music, your content will either be copyright-claimed or muted. What is new, though, is Epidemic Sound’s updated agreement with the platform.
There’s no 60-second TikTok time limit for Epidemic Sound’s catalog anymore. More than 50,000 elite-tier tracks, ready to go when you are.
As long as your video sticks to TikTok’s 10-minute limit, you can use multiple full-length tracks. Learn how this update affects you, and how you can keep soundtracking your content safely.
We’ll discuss:
- How to soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute
- Can you soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute within the app?
- Can all Epidemic Sound users soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute?
- Can any TikTok user soundtrack their content for more than one minute?
- Can other music catalogs soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute?
How to soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute
To use a full-length track, or several tracks exceeding the 60-second threshold, you’ll need to edit your video outside of the app. You can use a TikTok-adjacent app like CapCut, or another software of your choice.
As long as you’re subscribed to an appropriate Epidemic Sound plan, you just need to select, edit, and download the track/s you’d like to use. Add the music to your project timeline, export the file, and publish it on TikTok.
Epidemic Sound is an official TikTok Sound Partner, and remains in close conversation with the platform. Coupled with our robust safelisting process, you’ll have the flexibility and peace of mind to make your content shine — for up to 10 minutes.
Can you soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute within the app?
As long as your content is published under a trial or active Epidemic Sound subscription, you can soundtrack TikTok videos for up to 10 minutes.
TikTok’s allowed maximum duration for most in-platform music is one minute. If you select a track from TikTok’s General Music Library or Commercial Music Library, the 60-second limit usually applies — even if it’s an Epidemic Sound track.
To publish content featuring longer pieces of music, you’ll need to add Epidemic Sound’s tracks outside of the app, as we touched on above.
Can all Epidemic Sound users soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute?
All Epidemic Sound users can soundtrack their TikTok content for up to 10 minutes. Whether you’re on the Creator, Pro, or Enterprise plan, you’re good to go.
Can any TikTok user soundtrack their content for more than one minute?
Personal, Business, and Organization TikTok accounts can use full-length Epidemic Sound tracks in their content. As long as they’re signed up to the right plan, have safelisted their TikTok account, and publish content as outlined above, they’re covered.
Can other music catalogs soundtrack TikTok content for more than one minute?
Other music catalogs may provide tracks that currently work on TikTok for longer than one minute, but their availability could change in the future.
This can cause uncertainty for creators and brands using said music. Other catalogs might not have the tools and licensing know-how to help if things go wrong, which can result in your content being muted.
On the other hand, Epidemic Sound is an official TikTok Sound Partner. Should your content be muted for any music-related reason, our digital rights management team will be able to help you.
An Epidemic Sound subscription removes the headache of licensing and frees you up to do what you do best. Even if you cancel, any content published during a trial or active subscription is cleared forever.
You can enjoy the safety of our license hand-in-hand with a catalog of 50,000 tracks, covering just about every genre you can think of. You’ll also gain unlimited access to advanced discovery tools and customization features — finding the right sound’s never been easier.
It’s better than royalty-free. It’s worry-free. Get started with Epidemic Sound below and soundtrack your content, your way.
