Is music in Adobe Rush and Premiere Pro royalty free

[alizarin_c]

Hi guys,

I'm working on some promo videos for amazon and was wondering if the soundtracks included in Adobe Rush are royalty free. I've also used a few free preview soundtracks from Premiere Pro and was wondering about those as well. Thanks! 

[WillSauvage]

+1 for me as well, it looks like artists that sold their music to Adobe for use in Rush are now trying to monetize it as well in Youtube. Any solutions Adobe or are we just supposed to guess which music track is going to get flagged and then have to swap it out and reupload?

[AnkeBGermany]

exactly my question. I want to be on the safe side when I use Soundtracks out of Adobe Rush. what does it mean when above, Peter from Adobe says "you need to license it"? is this something I need to do on YouTube, like a box to tick?

Also, Where in the Adobe Legal Texts or T&Cs does it say that I can use the Soundtracks for Commercial use in my Rush videos, worldwide, and without time restraint? - I only found a similar answer in FAQs, but it was a bit broad, and I could not find specifics in the Legal texts: https://www.adobe.com/legal.html

I am receiving a take down notice for a song on Instagram. The track is listed in Adobe RU as EDM POP Chains by Cap Sun Pro Audio.

the take down notice is for 

Never Trust Her by Gordon Hudson

and listening the tracks they do sound the same? Can someone from Adobe advise?  Who is the legitimate owner of this music? 

[Rachel23538982zraz]

Good morning, 

Unfortunately, I keep getting the same issue as listed here when using music from Premiere Pro / Rush. I assume that may mean that this hasn't been solved? 

Could I have some advice on this please?

I just posted a video on youtube using premier rush on ipad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bktCXGF9uSI&ab_channel=Appy%27sUniverse

After few minutes got copyright claim. I just used rush app on ipad and I have creative cloud subscription which is first 7 days trial till 29th December 2022 and then after this date actual service will start.

What to do?

Hello dear sir 

I have a adobe premiere rush subscription and I have edited a video from adobe music after that's I have upload on YouTube but I have received copyright from YouTube 

What can I do to remove this ????

[philipb70421054]

i've had the same with two videos i uploaed to YT... I re did them but witha 20min video taking 2hrs to render... its time consuming!

Same issue here, made a video today with Adobe Rush using audio from the Adobe Rush royalty free music library, "Jazz Hop Summer." The audio has been flagged by Facebook as copyrighted and removed from my video. I contacted Adobe Support to day and they informed me that the audio has to be licensed throughAdobe Stock, despite the fact that the Rush audio is advertised as royalty-free and included with the Rush subscription. I am not paying for an additional subscription to license music that is advertised as included in this plan. This is false advertising on the part of Adobe.

My understanding is that Music in Adobe Premier needs to be licensed. In Adobe Rush it is to be royalty free and ready to use When mine was taken down by IG I appealed and cited the source and they reinstated it. I would appeal it through Facebook if you can. It is more likely automation is doing this than an artist claim. Good luck! 

[ItsWill]

Appealing is fine, but the problem is that with content that is being made for social media (and considering that is exactly what Rush is designed for), a copyright claim as soon as the content is posted means that from an algorithm standpoint, that content almost becomes dead in the water. Even after an appeal, to try to re-gain the momentum of engagement and algorithmic distribution on that content is a hugely uphill battle that... basically isn't worth the effort anymore at that point.

Adobe, as a company specifically geared toward creative professionals, should be able to grasp what an untenable and unsustainable situation it is to have constant copyright strikes on content that Adobe has claimed to its users is clear to use. If they are not able to substantiate that it is clear in practice, then they should not continue to profit off of their marketing that it is - a basic case of business ethics, in my opinion. It's also clear from these forums that they have been grappling with this issue since at least 2020, and yet still with no clear path to resolution. In the best case, it is negligent on their part and in the worst case, it could be considered downright deceptive to claim that this content is cleared to use while it continues to be flagged by unsuspecting, paying users on a regular basis to this day.

Additionally, there is a huge disconnect between the information provided by Adobe Support via chate and Adobe Support here on the forums, specifically the Rush team. While I understand that Adobe is a large company with many products, they should have the infastructure to support their customers with accurate information and support professionals who understand the products they are managing - after all, we are all here paying (in some cases hefty sums) for "pro-level" software products. Competent and informed support should be a baseline standard.

[ItsWill]

So just to update - I have received a call from Adobe Support regarding this issue. It has been confirmed to me that Adobe OWNS NO RIGHTS to any of the music provided in Rush; rather it is supplied by a partner network of creators that Adobe has an agreement with, who have the ability to revoke the permission to this music at any time. 

In this case, if Adobe is "lending" music to endusers via Rush, then this should be properly disclosed and described as such. Personally, I will never use another piece of audio supplied by Adobe as this is not how my previous experience with royalty-free music providers has operated. I stand by my original feelings that this is **at best** negligent on the part of Adobe and at worst, a deceitful and malicious business activity - I lean towards the latter as this issue has been raised multiple times over multiple years within this forum, with no change in practice nor marketing by Adobe other than being reactionary when this issue is inevitably raised time and again.

I just experienced something similar with their "EDM Pop Chains" track, but I noticed YouTube flagged it as another track, forgot what it was, I suspect this is an error in the YouTube detection algorithm? So I'm trying to upload the video again after deleting that draft from YouTube. I will update here once it is uploaded in 20minutes. 

[Moaz5C5C]

Okay so YouTube flagged it again. So definetely looks like an issue. I'm quite upset at this, as I didn't experience this with other tracks. They should only use royalty free/monetizable tracks as creators rely on Adobe products to create content to earn money. Anyways hopefully they will sort it out in coming weeks! 

Here are the details:

I've come across the same problem with a different service. The company gave me a link to post in the video description which goes to the licensing page. The problem wasn't that the third-party/partner revoked the license. The problem is that other content creators are claiming copyright of the Royalty free music tha they are using. This is illegal since they do not own the rights. I think the problem is is that they own the video and it has the music in it so therefore, the music is also getting claimed as copyrighted. There has to be a page with the copyright information for the music in Premiere Rush, which we can post in our video descriptions. I am hopeful that somebody will eventually post this link. I still haven't found it. My searches are just finding more and more threads and forums where people are posting this problem, but nobody ever posts the actual solution.

Hey @Jen Shipley,

I read your note:

Thanks. I'll forward your idea to the team.

I'm having big problems using Adobe Rush SoundTracks

My videos are getting sued over copyright infringement. Losing my time explaining that is an Adobe problem with no success. Look under notes of this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcGxMhnTe0I

And this always happened with Adobe Rush Soundtracks.

• Contenido con derechos de autor: Inspiring and Emotional Ambient
• Autor de la reclamación: HAAWK for a 3rd Party

[chrisp23299818]

This is happening to me as well. Is there a resolution to this. When I loose my revenue even if it gets cleared later 90% of views happen in the first 24 hours. This is very disapointing. 

[defaultmrvy1nw2664x]

Did you ever figure this out?

[Carl Toon]

I have the same problem. Just did my first Rush project and Youtube says I cant monetize it, not like I was anyway but sheesh! Can't Adobe address this or let you know up front that this is the case? Common!

[Ana26305102t3iv]

More than two years after this post, this is still an issue. Honestly, what is even the point of the library if we can't use it properly...

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi Ana,

Sorry. Can you describe your workflow in detail? Are you working with the mobile app or the desktop app? Are you using any other Creative Cloud apps? I can see if any issues I know of might cause this problem.

Thanks,

Kevin

[Kevin-Monahan]

Sorry, Alan. Are you exporting directly from Rush, or did you happen to move this project through Premiere Pro? Premiere Pro interaction would be one action that could cause copyright infringement. If you need to master your Rush project through Premiere Pro, it is better to use music you have the right to. These soundtrack files are for exporting directly from Rush.

Let me know if this info helps or not.

Thanks,
Kevin

This has just happeened to me today as well on tik tok. What's the fix?

[AlanMattano]

This happens randomly to some unlucky users. It is triggered by YouTuber bad actors (bots users). Is a Youtube problem but as Ana mentioned: what is even the point of the library if we can't use it properly...

 You need to take to youtube and find a way to pass them the license inside the video. In this way, external bad actors can't claim infringement automatically at random. 

What I do is mark that bot as spam or else. but is time-consuming so I do not use lovely Rush music anymore.
