# Can I make a music video with this beat?

 
Free (tagged) licence

 Depends on the contract 

 
On the Free (tagged) tier, shoot and release a music video is depends on the contract as these agreements are ordinarily written. A music video is an audiovisual use of the recording. Paid tiers normally permit it, usually with a view cap that mirrors the stream cap.

 
## The trap

Free tiers sometimes permit a video specifically because it promotes the producer, while still forbidding paid distribution. The two are licensed separately more often than people expect.
 

 
## What to check in your agreement

 
The video view cap, and whether monetisation of the video is separately addressed.

 
## The same question on every other tier

 Licence tier | Shoot and release a music video | 
 Basic (MP3) | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Premium (WAV) | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Trackout / Stems | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Unlimited lease | Permitted | 
 Exclusive rights | Permitted | 
 

 
## What this tier is

 
A promotional lease. The producer tag stays in the record and commercial use is usually not granted at all. Typical price: $0.

 
Scope limit. This models the STANDARD form of each tier. Any individual agreement overrides it. Where a cell says 'depends', the answer is genuinely contract-specific and no general resource can resolve it.
