Question 2

What is synchronization licensing?

Accepted Answer

Synchronization licensing, often referred to as sync licensing, is the process of obtaining permission to use a piece of music in conjunction with visual media, such as movies, TV shows, advertisements, or video games. It involves obtaining rights from the copyright holder(s) of the music, typically the songwriter or composer, and the music publisher or record label. If the record label is different, you need a Master Use License from the label. musipub's catalog is for the most part 100% cleared.
