Using a preview song but have the license

[samh55772330]

Hi all,

I forgot to license a preview Adobe song and exported all the videos with the preview version.

I've now successfully licensed it. Is it ok to use the preview version still? 

I can't be bothered re-exporting the videos lol.

Did you use Adobe Premiere Pro to assemble the video and audio components?

Here's what Adobe says about that procedure. It seems that you may have a low quality version of the track if you didn't license it before...
How to add Stock audio to videos (adobe.com)
"Immediately after you license the track, in the background, Adobe Premiere Pro will seamlessly replace all instances of the m4a with a high quality wav file that’s ready for export and broadcast."

Hi Jill,

Thanks for your response.

I did assemble them in Adobe. I’m just wondering whether I need to reexport
them with the licensed version as opposed to the preview despite having the
license now.

Sorry. I don't know what will happen. I suppose it depends how you use the end product.

Adobe is the company, Premiere Pro is the product. There is also Premiere Rush and Premiere Elements. And I think you can also do video work in Adobe Express.

You need to reexport. First: the preview is low-quality sound and second, there may be invisible watermarks, marking this as a preview file. As @Jill_C said, it depends on where you use this. If you did client work, the client has a right to get the best quality possible.
