Adobe partnered with Epidemic Sound (ES) to get an plug-in extension for Premier Pro (PP). The extension is found from the menu Window>Extension. The extension improves workflow by allowing the Soundmatch feature of ES to search for music based on where you place the timeline marker in your video segments. Once you find something you like you can download it directly into your project file. The issue is that this features only works with a Commercial or Enterprise subscription of ES, which is much more expensive than the Personal subscription for non-commercial use. The work around is finding music using the extension and Soundmatch and then going to the ES website logging in and searching for the music your just found using the extension, and downloading it to my hardrive, importing into my project files, and timeline. Same music for the same purpose just extra steps. I would like to be able to use the extension with my personal subscription to ES.
When ES communicated it to the users I was like yes! Only to find out that they were in a roundabout way hoping to get me to upgrade my subscription from $119 per year to $299 per year for Commerical. I've included a screen shot of their pricing plan.
