Video Streaming sites like YouTube or Vimeo are paying royalties for
your music videos and/or lyric videos only if you have an ISRC number embedded
in your master video file. Most music distributors usually issue ISRC only for
audio tracks rather than your video files so if you also want to GET PAID for
your music videos, you need an ISRC embedded in your video file as well!
YouTube does in fact already have their own
monetization system in place but what they don’t tell you is that it is
possible for you to collect additional royalties not just from your uploaded
videos. If your music video does in fact hold an ISRC number, then you will get
royalties from your Performing Rights Organization, PRO (ASCAP, BMI, etc), and/or
your distributor separate from the money YouTube already pays out to you
through their system.
Whether you have a music video, a live concert video
or a lyric video, it is a good habit to embed ISRC numbers to your master video
files before posting the video ANYWHERE. Web ‘n Retail is licensed by the RIAA to
not only issue ISRC numbers but we also fully embed the ISRC to your masters
along with ALL your metadata that you may have (including a cover image) . For
