Yesterday, at Cannes Lions International Festival for Creativity, Adobe announced an integration between its design application Adobe Express and TikTok's Commercial Music Library. This integration allows users to access a library of royalty-free music directly within Adobe Express, potentially simplifying the creation of video content for TikTok.

The TikTok Commercial Music Library is a collection of songs pre-cleared for commercial use on the TikTok platform. This means creators can use these songs in their videos without worrying about copyright infringement. According to TikTok, the library contains over a million songs spanning various genres and regions.

The TikTok Commercial Music Library is accessible through the Symphony Assistant add-on for Adobe Express. Symphony Assistant is an AI-powered tool that helps users brainstorm content ideas and optimize their videos for the TikTok platform. With the integration, users can search and select music directly within the Adobe Express interface, potentially streamlining the creative process.

Potential Benefits for Creators

This integration has the potential to benefit creators in a few ways:

Simplified Music Selection: Having access to a pre-cleared music library directly within the editing software can save creators time and effort compared to searching for royalty-free music elsewhere.

Wider Music Choice: With over a million songs available, creators have a broader range of music options to choose from, potentially allowing them to find the perfect fit for their video's mood and message.

Streamlined Workflow: The integration allows creators to complete various aspects of their video creation within a single platform, potentially leading to a more efficient workflow.

The popularity of TikTok, especially among younger demographics, has made it an increasingly important platform for businesses and brands. Music plays a crucial role in many TikTok videos, and finding appropriate music can be a challenge for creators. This integration between Adobe Express and TikTok's Commercial Music Library could make it easier for businesses and brands to create engaging TikTok content, potentially increasing their reach and engagement on the platform.

It is important to note that the long-term impact of this integration remains to be seen. The effectiveness of the integration will likely depend on factors such as the ease of use, the comprehensiveness of the music library, and user adoption.

According to a Kantar report, 88% of TikTok users say that sound is an essential element for conveying brand identity and increasing purchase intent. This highlights the importance of music selection for brands creating content on TikTok.

While the integration offers a pre-cleared music library, creators should still be aware of potential licensing issues, especially if they modify the original music significantly. It's always recommended to consult with a copyright lawyer for complex legal questions.

Overall, the integration of TikTok's Commercial Music Library into Adobe Express represents a new option for creators working on the TikTok platform. While the long-term impact is yet to be determined, this integration has the potential to streamline content creation and potentially increase the quality of videos on TikTok.
