Filmstro, the tech company established in Brighton, UK, have announced an upgrade to their web app Filmstro Pro. With this update, the system improves the search speed and the user interface, among other features. Let’s take a look at these improvements!

These days when filmmakers need to produce visual content quickly to have an impact, time is a critical aspect we constantly deal with. We have mentioned in past articles that looking for the right music for your project can be daunting due to the insane number of platforms and tracks available. Filmstro appeared as a breath of fresh air by letting us customize our music selection. In case you missed it, you can read up on our review here. With the new Filmstro update, they have now joined other companies who have recognized the importance of this and improved their interface and tools for a better user experience. 

Control over our soundtracks

The difference between Filmstro and other music platforms is that you can create your soundtracks by modifying the existing ones intuitively and visually, allowing you to control every stem on the track to fit your video. You can make real-time changes while watching how the music and the changes you make affect the video. For filmmakers who have a clear idea in mind about the soundtrack they want, this is a more advanced approach than the typical stock music platform, hence the Filmstro motto, ‘We are all composers now’.

Speed and a straightforward interface

The new Filmstro upgrade now offers instant dynamic playback. We can listen to the tracks in the browse section instead of opening the edit tab to do it. That also works with the uploaded video and is a welcomed feature that improves the search speed and control in our creations, two essential elements in all these stock music platforms.

Another Filmstro update is the inclusion of new playlists that appear as searchable items, improving and enhancing our manual search on the search home page. The UI has also been redesigned to match the current trend of stock music libraries, adding search filters like BPM, Mood, Energy, and Instrumental Palette or Ensemble.

I’ve been hoping to combine instant playback of music with our dynamic USP for a while now. Our developers have outdone themselves by bringing our dynamic playback technology directly to bear on the music discovery stage – without compromising on immediate music preview playback.
