Amper Music
AI music creation for media production
Amper Music, now part of Shutterstock, is an AI music composition tool that creates custom, royalty-free music tracks for video, podcast, and media projects. Integrated into the Shutterstock platform, it allows users to generate production-ready background music by specifying mood, style, duration, and instrumentation preferences.
Key Capabilities
Amper Music uses AI to compose original music tracks based on user-defined parameters including genre, mood, tempo, and duration. Users can adjust instrumentation, modify arrangement density, and fine-tune tracks to match their content. The AI produces broadcast-quality compositions suitable for professional media projects. As part of the Shutterstock ecosystem, generated tracks come with commercial licensing through Shutterstock's established rights framework. The tool particularly excels at creating consistent background music for video content and corporate media.
Who Should Use Amper Music
Amper Music is ideal for video producers, marketing teams, podcast creators, and media agencies who already use Shutterstock for stock assets and want seamless music integration. It suits professionals who need broadcast-quality background music quickly without hiring composers, particularly those creating corporate videos, advertisements, and branded content at scale.
Getting Started
Access Amper Music through your existing Shutterstock subscription or sign up for a Shutterstock plan that includes music assets. Navigate to the AI music creation tool, select your desired mood, genre, and track length, and the AI will generate custom compositions. Download the tracks with Shutterstock's standard commercial license for immediate use in your projects.
Pricing & Accessibility: Amper Music is available through Shutterstock subscription plans. Individual plans start around $29/mo. Enterprise and team plans are available with custom pricing. Access requires an active Shutterstock subscription with music asset allocation.
