VideoBlocks Launches 'Just Add Audio', The Soundtrack App For Your Life

iOS App Provides Free, Legal Music to Transform Ordinary Photos and Video into Digital Stories

RESTON, Va., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VideoBlocks, the first subscription-based provider of unlimited royalty-free stock video, today announced the launch of iOS app, Just Add Audio. Available as a free download, Just Add Audio taps into the company's large collection of licensed music tracks and allows users to quickly turn a string of photos and video into digital stories worth sharing.

"Photos and videos are powerful mediums, but they're even better when you add quality music," said Joel Holland, Founder and CEO of VideoBlocks. "Until now, it's been difficult to get your hands on free, legal music to use without restriction for the creation of engaging content on your mobile device. We've made this process drop dead simple by providing instant access to over 1200 free professional-grade tracks. So whether you've got videos from a weekend wedding, or photos from an overseas trip, it takes less than 30 seconds to turn them into powerful digital stories and share with friends."

With a beautiful interface and simple 3-step experience, Just Add Audio is the easiest way to add legal music from professional artists to your photo and video collections. Once photos or video are selected, users can choose songs from 8 moods to match the subject of collection. Finished products can then be shared with friends and followers via email or social media.

Holland added that providing legal music was a win-win for users and creators: "With illegal music, the creators lose because they aren't being fairly compensated for their work; the customers lose because their stories are in danger of being pulled down from social networks, or worse, can end in law suits. With our model, the creators have been paid for their music, and customers now have the ability to layer it into their own life stories without fear of running afoul of tricky rights management and licensing."

The music for Just Add Audio is provided by AudioBlocks, the only subscription service to offer unlimited downloads of over 100,000 high-quality, royalty-free music tracks, sound effects and loops. A resource for professional and hobbyist content creators alike, AudioBlocks, along with sister sites VideoBlocks and GraphicStock, have achieved more than 30 million downloads, growing at over 1 million per month.
