What are Synchronization Rights?
With a synchronization license, you gain permission to reproduce the sound recording of a musical composition within an audio-visual media form (like films, TV programs, commercial announcements, music videos, multimedia or other visual presentations). The music is generally synchronized and/or recorded in timed relation with the visual images, graphic design or voiceover. Westar Music is licensed with specific synchronization rights included, as outlined in our Rate Card. If you have used our music under an annual lease arrangement and require that an individual license be issued for a specific use of our music (like a TV program, film or video production), please make an application for that specific synchronization rights license, and a separate music license for your production will be issued for your music clearance records.
A song writer or publisher holding a copyright possesses a bundle of rights. One of those rights is referred to as synchronization rights. Basically, it refers to the right to allow the music to be synchronized with a visual image. For example, when music is used in the background of a television show or film, or placed on a music video, the creator of that video or film must receive the permission of the copyright holder of the music. Typically, that permission is given through a synchronization license agreement.
