Creating video content just got easier with latest Adobe and TikTok integration to bring TikTok’s Commercial Music Library into Adobe Express

We recently launched a first-of-its-kind integration with TikTok’s Symphony Assistant — an AI-powered virtual assistant that can intelligently collaborate with you on your brand’s organic and paid creative content and supercharge success throughout the creative journey on TikTok. And today, we’re excited to announce that the collaboration with TikTok just got even better, with over one million global songs and sounds pre-cleared for commercial use by TikTok from TikTok’s Commercial Music Library (CML) exclusively available to use within Adobe Express via the Symphony Assistant add-on.

With TikTok’s Commercial Music Library now accessible from within Adobe Express, marketers and advertisers can quickly create, score and publish on-trend TikTok-first content at the speed of social, and all within one platform.

Previously only available on TikTok, the TikTok Commercial Music Library enables Adobe Express users to soundtrack their TikTok videos with tracks from emerging and established artists and viral sounds. Now together, Adobe and TikTok offer even more easy-to-use creative solutions that support the entire TikTok creation journey from ideation to launch.

Unlocking the power of music and sound

Music is essential to a brand’s success on TikTok — with 88 percent of TikTok users saying sound is essential to the TikTok user experience, 68 percent saying they remember the brand better if they post a TikTok featuring a song they like and 62 percent saying they’re more curious to learn about the brand that uses music.

Through the existing Symphony Assistant add-on in Adobe Express, users can now quickly tap into TikTok’s Commercial Music Library and access over a million songs and sounds spanning styles, genres and regions, from emerging and established artists that TikTok has already cleared for commercial use — reducing the time, investment and pain of licensing music. According to TikTok, with access to solutions like the CML, millions of businesses of all sizes can tap into the impact of music and sound on TikTok with songs from the TikTok Commercial Music Library being used in nearly 2 billion videos and viewed approximately 5 trillion times in the last 12 months.

How it works

On Adobe Express users will be able to access innovative solutions and viral sound clips to make their TikTok video creation process easier, efficient and effective:

• Add music and sounds pre-cleared by TikTok in Adobe Express: Spanning all styles, genres and regions, the CML takes the time, investment and pain out of licensing music and gives businesses and creators access to trending music and viral sound clips.
• Support throughout the content creation process: Users can search and apply music and sounds, pre-cleared by TikTok, to TikTok videos and use Symphony Assistant to generate creative ideas and refine TikTok-first video content and best practices and trends, hashtags and insights, even generate TikTok scripts. Then leverage Adobe Express for creative templates, Adobe Stock videos and audio, images and editing tools, elements and overlays.
• Access TikTok best practices: If your brand is looking to level up on TikTok, the Symphony Assistant add-on can guide you on creative best practices and top tips for success on the platform. You can discover and identify the top trending sounds and creative trends in your region, sector or market.
• Tackle creative block: With co-editing capabilities on Adobe Express, teams of any size can use Symphony Assistant to brainstorm content based on the latest trends and pair it with the right music.
• Gain insights from top TikTok ads, hashtags and more: Symphony Assistant makes creative research simple and efficient by analyzing with top-performing TikTok ads with the TikTok Creative Center. Additionally, you and your team can gain insights into trending hashtags to ensure your content reaches the right audience.
• Optimize on-brand creative workflows: This integration eliminates the extra time, effort and resources required to use different platforms for each stage of the creative journey, allowing teams to easily integrate music and sound into their content — all in one place, while staying on-brand with Adobe Express.

Adobe is also now a badged TikTok Marketing Partner. The partnership brings together the power of Adobe’s industry-leading creative technology and TikTok’s vast digital expertise to help creators make and market on-brand content more effectively than ever before.

The TikTok Commercial Music Library is now available via the Symphony Assistant add-on in Adobe Express for users globally in English on desktop.

The TikTok Symphony Assistant add-on for Adobe Express joins our growing developer ecosystem at Adobe. We’re making it possible for developers and partners to build integrations that offer new innovations like generative AI, help users collaborate better together, and facilitate custom workflows for business.

With the Adobe Creative Cloud developer platform, we laid the foundation for an incredible extensibility ecosystem. Now with Adobe Express add-ons, we are building the platform with user choice, developer innovation, and security, safety, and stability in mind.

Add-ons for Adobe Express are sandboxed from the core application, and APIs are designed to prevent exposure of sensitive information without explicit user consent. Plus, add-ons on the Adobe Express marketplace get automatically updated whenever the developer updates the add-on, and the update gets approved by Adobe.

Our principled approach will continue to encourage and inspire our developer community to build whatever they can dream up — unlocking new product value and use cases and innovating faster than ever. This is at the heart of Adobe’s commitment to democratizing creativity, and we look forward to seeing our developer community come up with many more new add-ons for Adobe Express.
