Block by block

Find the peak of a track at a glance

Every track is cut into blocks: intro, verse, chorus, drop, outro. No more scrubbing through a waveform to find the moment that matters. Click a block, it plays. Then lock it to your picture, right from the timeline.

  • Insert drops the block exactly on your playhead, or drag it straight into the timeline (Resolve)
  • Fill plays the music before it into the gap, so the build-up lands on your cut
  • Hear any block in one click, and have it land in your timeline with a marker at the start of each block

Versions

Every version, right under the original

Instrumental, vocal, alternate mixes: the versions of a track unfold beneath it, on the same structure as the original, so you can hear which one sits best under your dialogue.

  • One click to unfold or fold the versions
  • Same structure as the original, block for block
  • One licence covers every version of the track

Music Match by file

Drop your temp track, find the real one

Give the panel the reference your client fell in love with. It finds what sounds like it in the catalogue: timbre, energy, mood.

  • MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, M4A and OGG
  • Text, mood or file, from the same search field
  • Results ranked by how close they sound

Licence

License what you keep, when you are ready

Link your Premiere sequence to a Songfindr project: the tracks you place are gathered there. License a single track as soon as it is approved, or the whole project once the edit is locked, for the use you choose.

  • The project follows the .prproj you have open
  • See at a glance what is still to licence
  • The same licences and prices as on the website

Install

Under a minute.

Premiere Pro

  1. Download the .ccx file above.

  2. Double-click it: Creative Cloud Desktop installs the panel for you.

  3. In Premiere Pro, open Window > UXP Plugins > Songfindr.

Creative Cloud not working?

If the .ccx does not install, you can place the panel yourself. Use this only as a fallback: with the .ccx, Creative Cloud replaces the previous version for you, while here you do it by hand.

  1. Quit Premiere Pro.
  2. Open the plugins folder (create it if it does not exist):
    Windows%APPDATA%\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\ExternalmacOS~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/Plugins/External
  3. Delete any folder whose name starts with com.songfindr.premiere_. Two versions side by side confuse Premiere.
  4. Unzip the file below and copy the folder it contains into the plugins folder.
  5. Start Premiere Pro and open Window > UXP Plugins > Songfindr.
Download the manual install (.zip)

DaVinci Resolve Studiobeta

  1. Download the zip above and extract all of it.

  2. Windows: double-click "Installer Songfindr (Windows).cmd". Mac: right-click "Installer Songfindr (Mac).command", choose Open, then type your Mac password.

  3. Restart DaVinci Resolve, then open Workspace > Workflow Integrations > Songfindr.

Needs DaVinci Resolve Studio: the free edition does not accept plugins. In beta: tell us what catches. The manual install is described in the INSTALL.txt file inside the zip.

What's new

What changed in the plugins, newest first.

  1. NewPremiere Pro and Resolve

    A button at the top of the panel opens Songfindr in your browser.

  2. FixPremiere Pro and Resolve

    A project created from the plugin now picks up every Songfindr track already in the edit, and licensing waits until tracks in the edit that are missing from the project are added or ignored.

  3. FixPremiere Pro and Resolve

    Empty pages (no project, no license) now show a simple icon instead of a large picture.

  4. FixDaVinci Resolve 0.2.16

    The plugin window now shows the Songfindr logo and name everywhere, with no more mention of Electron.

  5. NewPremiere Pro and Resolve

    Dragging a row of the list by its title now takes the whole track. Dragging a block of the bar still takes that block only.

  6. FixDaVinci Resolve 0.2.15

    Quickly dragging several tracks no longer freezes the plugin: every dropped track is replaced, even close together, and when the site's download limit is reached (20 per minute), the plugin says so and tells you how many seconds to wait.

  7. FixDaVinci Resolve 0.2.15

    Insert and Fill now place the track as WAV: the waveform shows across the whole clip, without restarting Resolve.

  8. FixPremiere Pro 1.3.8

    When the site's download limit is reached (20 per minute), the plugin says so and tells you how many seconds to wait, instead of a plain failure.

Frequently asked questions

The short answers.

Is the Songfindr plugin free?

Yes. The plugin is free to install in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve Studio. You only pay for the licences of the tracks you actually keep, at the same prices as on songfindr.com.

Which versions of Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve does it support?

Premiere Pro 25.6 or later, and DaVinci Resolve Studio, both on Windows and macOS. The free edition of DaVinci Resolve does not accept plugins, so it cannot run it. The Resolve plugin is in beta.

Can I use a track in my edit before licensing it?

Yes. You can place any track straight away: until it is licensed, the plugin places the watermarked MP3 preview. Once you license it, the plugin places the full-quality WAV master, and the Projects tab offers to swap the previews you already placed, with each clip keeping its position in the timeline.

Can I use Songfindr music on YouTube and in client work?

Yes, with the licence that matches the use. The price depends on where the track will be used: one licence covers your own channels and podcasts, the next adds client and brand work published online, and wider uses such as broadcast have their own. You license from the plugin, and checkout happens on songfindr.com.

Does one licence cover the instrumental and the other versions?

Yes. One licence covers every version of a track: instrumental, vocal and alternate mixes.

What makes the Songfindr plugin different?

Every track is split into blocks (intro, verse, chorus, drop, outro), so you place the exact moment you need on your playhead instead of scrubbing through a waveform. You can also drop in a temp track, and Music Match finds what sounds like it in the catalogue.
