In their own words
Filmstro
Filmstro lets filmmakers and visual creatives shape cinematic music around a video edit through a web app and a Premiere Pro extension. Users can adjust Momentum, Depth, and Power with sliders or timeline edits, adapt music to an edit's length, and place changes with keyframes. A stem panel lets users audition and remove individual sounds. The Premiere Pro extension supports frame-accurate edits and can continue working offline after a track is loaded, using locally cached project assets. Visitors can browse, download, and edit music during a full free trial without payment details; some features require a free account and email. Paid Creator plans include the web app, while Extension plans add the Premiere Pro extension. Music can be synchronized with creative media but cannot be shared as music on its own. Commercial work for clients requires PRO; TV, radio, VOD, and streaming projects require Enterprise. The service lists unlimited royalty-free music, unlimited downloads, WAV files, vocal content, and worldwide, perpetual music clearance.
YouTube
YouTube is a service for discovering, watching, and sharing videos and other content, as well as a platform for creators and advertisers. People can browse and search without a Google account, though some features require one. Channel owners can upload videos, comment, and make Shorts and playlists; YouTube Studio is the place to post videos and edit a channel. Shorts are vertical videos of 60 seconds or less, alongside longer videos. Recommendations use signals such as viewing behavior, likes, dislikes, subscriptions, and satisfaction feedback. Users can pause, edit, or delete their search and watch history. Developers can use YouTube APIs to embed playback, search and manage content, review analytics, add subscribe buttons, and manage live streams. Eligible Partner Program creators may access multiple revenue streams, subject to regional availability and program criteria. The free service is listed for Android, iOS, and web, with an API. YouTube Premium adds ad-free viewing on millions of videos, offline downloads, background play, and ad-free music in YouTube Music, though some creator and event promotions may remain. Premium plan options include individual, household family, and annually verified student plans.
