Amateur film-makers are being offered a soundtrack creation service by a website that sells music on behalf of independent artists.
Pump Audio already licenses tracks from its 65,000-song catalogue to companies like MTV and CBS.
Now it is targeting directors who want to use original music in their films without having to pay large fees for music by popular chart acts.
The company says its music can be used for as little as $0.99 (£0.53).
Film-makers can upload their videos to the company's website and audition songs from a wide variety of genres before making a final cut.
The music comes with the permission of the copyright holders, which means budding Spielbergs can avoid falling foul of copyright laws.
The service is aimed at those who put their videos on the internet and is a new venture for Pump Audio, which currently provides music to advertisers and broadcasters.
Unsigned artists registered with the website have already had their songs used on programmes such as Ozzy Osbourne's MTV reality show.
