Music Sync Licensing – FAQ

Yes. Copyright protection is required because sync licensing involves using someone else’s original work. Copyright automatically exists once a musical work is created and fixed (e.g., recorded or written down), but U.S. registration is recommended for legal protection.

A sync (synchronization) license gives you the legal right to use music in visual content like films, YouTube videos, commercials, or games.

  1. Sync License = For pairing music with visuals
  2. Master Use License = For using a specific sound recording
  3. Performance License = For public performances (radio, concerts)
