Filmstro – before we begin the review and 
demo let’s listen to a few 
audio samples from Filmstro.
HI, My name is Arun and in this video we will
see a detailed demo and review of:  
what is Filmstro how to use it what’s 
the pricing how you can get a Filmstro  
lifetime license and how to customize the 
royalty-free music tracks and much more.
Now, before we get to the demo please

Some of you might be wondering what is 
film stroke let’s say you need a royalty  
free soundtrack for your video projects be 
it YouTube videos, online course videos,  
wedding videos, short films, anything or 
maybe for audio projects such as podcasts  
and audio books – there are some good 
music available from various free sources  
and even YouTube’s audio library is there, but 
not everyone is comfortable going that route.  
That’s why it’s good to have a service without 
any worry of copyright strikes or other royalty  
related problems. so here’s where Filmstro comes 
into picture it has a library of royalty-free  
music composed by real musicians. The tool has a 
simple timeline with three sliders that allow you  
to adjust the core fundamentals of any music track 
– the momentum so it could be fast or slow music  
and the depth to have it as high or low tunes 
and the power – be it soft music

or strong and
heavy music. This is how any music track can be
customized to your liking with various variations.
Speaking of Filmstro’s pricing you could
get an annual or monthly subscription to
use all their music covered worldwide and in
perpetuity – use them for as long as you want.
Currently there is an offer going on for a
limited time to get this tool for just $59
as one time fee and it’s a lifetime price if
you want to use it for just for the YouTube
videos – if you want to invest for a long time on
the other hand into your future creations as well
that can be a good investment where if you want
to use it for online and broadcast ads like
Facebook ads or Google ads and then games or maybe
even YouTube ads or if you are going to create
a mobile applications mobile apps you can use
them within apps and radio or corporate videos and
wedding videos – be it for yourself or for your
clients you can get their pro plus version – the
pro plus plan for a one-time fee of $118 now and
you can get a lifetime access to their software.
Now these links are given in the description below
if not just go to techLibrary.tv/Filmstro – I
already grabbed a copy of their pro plus plan
and I’m loving it. Let’s now see how to use film
store to get royalty free soundtracks for your
projects there are two ways to access the film
store’s music tracks they have an online music
library and a desktop app to install for pc or mac
an online music library is given so we can
browse their tracks online to listen and
choose whatever audio tracks we want it also
gives their meta values about the track such
as the key tempo and other useful tags describing
the audio track itself simply browse the website
choose what you think suits your project and
download to use them we will see all that in
the demo in the coming in the next few minutes
when it comes to licensing the tracks that we
use are all listed neatly inside your account
within a downloadable license in pdf format
so let’s now begin by starting
the film store standalone app
so as soon as you open the film store app the
standalone desktop app i’m using it on your
windows computer right now you will see that there
are four sections on top of your left hand side of
the screen the collections favorites downloads
and search these are pretty self-explanatory
where in collections you can find all the
different types of music tracks organized by
playlists featured ones mood film and video genre
instrumental palette and music genre so under new
tracks you can see that there are new tracks that
are available and added every single week these
are marked by this blue icon over here now the
playlist section is my favorite part where you
can find a good lo-fi beats and popular trailers
and stuff picks which are pretty decent and can be
used in a variety of projects and now whichever
track you like you can just heart them here and
which is what we will see under the favorite
section so you can see that i have favorited
this menu and this got added under my favorites
tab and under downloads whichever track we choose
to download will get added to the downloads which
is now will be available in our local for editing
and in search obviously we can search the name
of the music track if you know uh the name of
the track after you stumbled on it maybe on the
web app so you can search them to find them here
or you can just simply search whatever you would
like to that comes to your mind and then you may
hit on a random track which you may find great
so uh these are the four sections main sections
here and on the left left side bottom corner
you’ll find three sliders these are the um
i would say this is the heart of film
stroke where we’ll have those three
uh slider options for each for momentum depth and
power this is what we are going to use to control
the tempo or the uh the high and low of any music
so that it can suit to our scenes or our needs
with this i would say that we can
create multiple variations which might
uh have a lot of probability so you
can create hundreds of different
sounding tracks with the same single track or
maybe you can even mix multiple tracks together
and on the right side here you will see the
editing section where if you are going to import a
video this is where it shows up and at the bottom
there are some simple couple of buttons which says
that if you click on this create you can either
import a video or work with only the soundtrack
when we want to input a video currently
film store pro supports only the mp4 version
so click on this to import your mp4 videos to
start editing and adding music to your videos
and with soundtrack you can um choose how many
minutes and seconds you want to add and then
start your editing by managing or extending
the soundtrack that’s available over here so
clicking on open uh this is where we can open any
previously worked on and save the sessions which
will be saved in the format dot sdro which is the
film stores proprietary file extension and these
are the files that can get again imported back
into film stroke now this has the advantage of
where we can share these stroke file type files
with our peers team members so that they can
input it back into their film store and then
start editing so this way you can collaborate
with multiple team members all right so now
let’s do a sample editing with a soundtrack
so here’s a demo track with the video
and the audio and this audio can also
be replaced with whatever you have over here
by just simply dragging and dropping the track
into this and editing the way you want it
so here is the base track for this video
so you can see that the
momentum is pretty low here
and i saw it depth is high server down two
hours and the power goes up here towards the end
now i’m going to pause this video here and
then see and show you how the momentum can be
increased by just clicking here and then
increasing it the way we want it and then
gradually to make it increase even higher towards
the end of the video and the depth is pretty high
so this we can reduce to and the video volume
is also fully high i’m going to keep this also
a little bit lower and the soundtrack is gradually
increasing as well let’s improve that too
i’m just doing this for the demo purpose as it
is the sound sounds really good but to show you
how these sliders work here we are going
to test this out now let me play the video
again you can see the the momentum
increases over here and that
you saw right you can also note
this slider slowly rising up
let’s increase this fully so i could add a
front row seat to them soiling their pants
yeah but then the light on the
webcam would come on let’s get this
their website came down well my site what about
the video volume let’s get the done totally
you can see that the audio the voice over has come
down totally let’s now decrease the depth as well
do you see the note do you see the difference
here let’s get the momentum down if we can observe
and the power goes up
we now the money
what’s wrong with my site
then what’s wrong with my side
all right so i’m going to pause here and
then show all of these completely raised up
so the depth is up momentum is up as well okay
and the power up
and the video volume up now you will
easily see the difference of how it sounds
when we have them all working at the same time
the juice makes you sloppy and you’re
amazing dummy site what’s wrong with it
i’ll have a car pick you up in the
morning yes ready
we got the money
what’s wrong with my site
then what’s wrong with my site
now let’s see if we can get that what’s wrong
with my sight volume totally down so it’s not
audible of what is shouting but you only get
to hear the powerful music in the background
okay i’ve got the video volume down totally and
let’s hear the momentum is up the depth is up
power let’s get let’s get it up completely
here and now the sound volume is up as well
except for the video’s volume which is
totally low let’s hear it out from here
so the voiceover is now not audible just the
music if at all if you need in this case to
amplify the story’s audio so that’s how we can
have the audio tracks customized the way we want
it as you might have observed the videos original
volume got reduced here totally and then we could
amplify the depth power and momentum of this track
the way we wanted it and this way we can alter
the music tracks whatever we want here the
way we want it now here are some low-fad beats
so as a sample here hit them out i have some
downloaded already so let’s hear them out here
you see the difference here when
we change the depth and power
so that’s the difference when
we get the momentum out of it
and when you have them all this is how it sounds
that’s how we can customize that so multiple
variations can be created from the same
single track let’s hear this one out
pretty neat music really good
so this is how we can customize
so once done we can either have these uh
automated time points deleted or have them
customized and then if you steer liking
then you can click on this export button
and it’ll ask you for options like do you want to
export all of your audio or just the soundtrack or
the video so you can choose whatever you want and
i will choose all audio and then that gets saved
as a way for insert saved in the wav format which
can then be imported into our video projects or
any other editing projects where editing tool or
software where you can add them to your videos and
then have that production done finally speaking of
some improvements i could only think of a couple
of them first the selection of tracks is pretty
limited but they are growing every single week
secondly there is a section of people who may
feel challenging about the entire concept of
what film store does and they are perhaps
correct in a way but there is no solution
to that because it’s just the mindset quote
unquote it discourages hardworking composers
and encourages lazy filmmakers who don’t
truly value original music in their projects
plus it creates a sense of
sameness across films and projects
now that’s not my opinion but that’s an
opinion i found on the website but if you
see if if at all we are working on a tune to
customize that to our liking then there are
very little chances that the sameness might come
into this picture because every song might sound
different depending on what momentum and depth and
power we are going to use and which part of the
music is going to be used i hope you found film
so useful for your needs if you’re keen in knowing
what Filmstro is working on currently and what
plans do they have for the near future in terms
of their development here’s their public roadmap
until next time i’m arun from tech library tv
