What is Sync Licensing?
Sync licensing is the process of licensing music so it can be synchronized with visual media such as Movies, TV Shows, Commercials, Video Games, YouTube Videos, Social Media Content, Corporate Videos, and Trailers. For example, if a filmmaker wants to use the song Happy in a movie scene, they must obtain synchronization rights before legally pairing that music with the video.

• EARNINGS
• TYPICAL SYNC FEES
Two Permissions are required
Why It's Important
They Vary Widely
Sync License - from the songwriter or publisher (the composition rights).
Master Use License - from the owner of the sound recording.
Sync licensing can be a significant source of income because users often pay an upfront licensing fee and performance royalties when airs on TV
They can range from:
$50-$500 for online creators
Hundreds to Thousands for Indie films
Tens of Thousands for major ads
The Metadata Protocol
Music supervisors discard tracks with messy metadata. To guarantee your pitch reaches the desk, every track must be delivered with verified writer splits, one-stop clearance, and high-fidelity WAV or MP3 masters.
We help you clean your tags and package your audio files into secure, professional streaming pages that supervisors actually trust. Depending which plan you choose, you can provide the genre, mood, tags, and metatag data. Or, we will use our experience to tag each song, provide moods, and genres using AI and advanced Metadata management.
If you have submitted your songs for distribution in the past to streaming services like Spotify, this IS NOT song distribution! Sync Licensing Opportunities is a completely different avenue of making income in the music industry that has been a well kept secret until now.
