Does UnitedMasters support Motion Cover Art?

  • Updated

UnitedMasters is pleased to announce that Apple Motion Art Deliveries are now offered for UnitedMasters SELECT and PARTNER artists!

Apple Motion Art makes your album artwork come alive. Motion artwork provides a richer experience for your audience by helping to set a mood or accentuate the concept of an album, before anyone presses play. Our team can assist in having Apple Motion Art delivered for one or more of your releases. Zs you reach out for assistance, be sure to include the following helpful information:

  • The release title you're looking to have your Motion Art added to.
  • The aspect ratio(s) you're providing for your Motion Art (1:1 - 3840x3840, which is displayed on the Album Page on Mac, iPad, and smart TVs, and 3:4 - 2048x2732, which is displayed on the Album Page on iPhone). Please note that each aspect ratio requires a differently formatted .MOV or .MP4 file. Please note that improperly formatted files will not be successfully delivered to Apple.
  • The file(s) for your Motion Art.

Please be sure that 1:1 and 3:4 Motion Art files are the same duration - if these files are not the same duration, our teams will be unable to have the Motion Art added.

Please also be sure that Motion Art deliveries will not be completed unless both a 1:1 and 3:4 asset have been provided to our teams - delivering a 1:1 Or 3:4 asset is not permitted at this time.

While we offer delivery for Apple Motion Art, we do not currently offer delivery of Spotify Canvas - which can be added to releases directly via Spotify for Artists!

 

Please note that as of October 2025, there will be a limit of three Motion Art changes per year, starting from the first approved change. 

This means requesting file changes for any motion art file that has already been delivered and submitted by our team.  

Once you reach 3 changes, any additional requests will need to wait until the one-year period resets.

 

 

For complete details about Motion Art formatting and guidelines, please review the following documentation from Apple Music: 

 

If you are requesting Motion Art delivery for your Apple Music profile, please follow these instructions.
