Deep dive
Most music catalogs contain thousands of tracks that have never had dedicated video content. Traditional YouTube strategies require producing videos for each track, making deep catalog activation operationally heavy. These tracks sit dormant, generating no revenue on video platforms while competitors with newer releases dominate algorithmic recommendations. Producing even simple videos for a catalog of 5,000 tracks requires a major production effort. Catalog holders need an approach that activates their entire library without per-track production work. Automated visual generation combined with 24/7 streaming solves this problem by turning any audio file into streamable content.
Why streaming activates dormant catalogs
- Continuous streaming generates consistent watch time signals
- Full catalog rotation exposes deep tracks to algorithmic learning
- 24/7 presence maintains channel authority between releases
- Live stream format receives priority in YouTube recommendations
The deep catalog production problem
Activating deep catalog content on YouTube traditionally requires producing video for each track. Even minimal production effort becomes prohibitive at catalog scale. A label with 10,000 tracks would face a massive production workload just to create basic visual content. This scale problem leaves most catalog tracks completely inactive on video platforms. The tracks exist, the rights are clear, but the production barrier prevents activation.
Automated visual generation as the solution
StreamPush generates branded visuals automatically from album artwork and track metadata. Audio-only tracks receive professional visual treatment without any production work. The platform applies customizable templates that match your brand identity, combining artwork with animated elements, track information, and visual effects. This automation reduces per-track activation effort to near zero, making full catalog streaming viable for organizations of any size.
Zero-production workflow
The activation process requires no video production at all. Connect your distributor through DDEX integration, and StreamPush automatically imports your catalog with artwork and metadata. The platform generates visuals, organizes tracks into smart playlists, and launches your 24/7 stream. New releases sync automatically and enter rotation. The entire workflow from catalog to live stream happens without manual intervention or production resources.

Visual generation and catalog activation
Activating deep catalog content requires two components: automated visual generation to turn audio into streamable content, and a distribution method that exposes tracks without per-track marketing effort. StreamPush combines both by generating branded visuals from existing assets and rotating your full catalog in a 24/7 stream. Understanding the visual options and workflow helps catalog holders plan their activation strategy.
Visual treatment options for catalog content
StreamPush offers multiple visual treatments depending on your content type and brand requirements. Audio-only tracks receive automated visuals generated from album artwork, combined with your brand template and animated elements. Music videos play natively when available, automatically switching between video and generated content based on what exists for each track. Mix content and DJ sets can use custom backgrounds that match your visual identity. All treatments maintain consistent branding while adapting to available source material.
Visual options by content type
Audio tracks: album artwork with branded template and animations
Music videos: native playback at original quality
Mix content: custom backgrounds with track information overlay
Live recordings: video playback with metadata integration
