Is the song being sung by one of your characters? Is it playing
without any voiceover? That is likely a featured use. If, however,
a song is playing in the background at low volume with narration
over the top, that is likely a background use.

using the master recording? The master recording is typically
the original recording that you would find on a CD. In that case,
please provide the name of the artist that performed the version
of the song you would like to license as well as the title of the
CD where the version can be found. Please indicate also if you
have secured a master use license for this request. If you are

rights to show the project anywhere in the world, simply write
world. Similarly, if your project will screen at theaters all over the
USA but nowhere outside the country, write USA.
Release / Air Date State the date your project will be released or first aired. If you
do not know the exact date, please estimate to the best of your
ability.
Options If you would like the option to purchase additional rights in the
future, explain that here. For example, some producers license
songs for a term of 1 year with an option to extend that term for
an additional 6 months. Right before the term of the original
license expires, the producer may exercise the option and
receive rights for an additional 6 months at a fee that was
already negotiated at the time of the original license. This saves
the producer the time of having to renegotiate rights in order to
continue using a song in a project.
Budget State your total film budget as well as your music budget.
Other Please use this space to provide any additional information you
think we may need to process your license. I.e., a list of all
songs in the film, which have already been approved, etc.

SYNC 101 - ESSENTIAL
SYNC TERMS
44
! Administrator - The entity
responsible for managing a piece of
music. This can be the publisher or the
record label or someone appointed or
assigned by either of the two.
45
Sync 101
Terms
! Air Date - The scheduled live date
of a project.
46
Sync 101
Terms
! All In - When both the sound
recording (master rights) fee and the
song (publishing rights) fees are
combined into one “all in” fee for sync
licensing a song.
47
Sync 101
Terms
! Assignment of Copyright - When
the ownership of a copyright is
transferred from one party to another.
Assignment must be in writing.
48
Sync 101
Terms
! Audio/Visual Work - The term for
film, television, or any other visual
production.
49
Sync 101
Terms
! Blanket license - A license which
gives a user permission to use all of
the songs in a Performing Rights
Organizations (PROs) repertoire for a
set annual fee.
50
Sync 101
Terms
! Bumper - Originally used in radio
broadcasts, a “bumper” is a short
piece of music (often signature or
theme music) that is used to transition
between two scenes or segments in an
audio-visual production.
51
Sync 101
Terms
! Buy-out, When a piece of music is
purchased once, and need not be paid
for again, ever.
52
Sync 101
Terms
! Consent Decree - issued by the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ), this is the
agreement that sets limitations on ASCAP and
BMI to ensure fair access to the PROs repertoire
and is intended to promote competition in the
marketplace for musical works.
53
Sync 101
Terms
! Context - The visual portion of a
film or scene that the piece of music is
being synchronized with. This is a key-
driver in determining sync fees.
54
! Copyright Recapture (aka Reversion) - For
copyrights prior to 1978, when the copyright
was split into two 28 year periods, “copyright
recapture” is the process of recapturing a
copyright starting on the 56th year from when
the copyright was originally registered. This
process terminates the copyright under the
old law and reverts it into the current
copyright law. 55
Sync 101
Terms
! Cue Sheet - Documents which let PROs track
the use of music in film and TV, allowing
composers and publishers to be compensated
for their work. Each time a film or TV show is
completed, a “cue sheet” is prepared, listing all
of the music used in the production, including
composer(s), publisher(s), air date, length and
so on.
56
Sync 101
Terms
! Duration - The length of time a
piece of music is used.
57
Sync 101
Terms
! Ephemeral Use - Ephemeral means temporary. From the early
days of live television, when a guest would begin singing a song
unexpectedly, the producers didn’t want to be liable for licensing
the works. As live recordings were not meant for re-broadcast,
ephemeral use was born. Today, a piece of copywritten material
may be unintentionally broadcast in the background of a program.
As the use is not intentional, nor is any exploitation of that use,
permission from the copyright owner(s) is not required.
58
Sync 101
Terms
! Family Estate - A person’s estate is all of the
property owned by that person at death. A will
dictates where that estate goes. When a family
initiates a family trust (a legal agreement), the assets
within are the “family estate”. A copyright is a type of
property that can be transferred or assigned to a
“family estate”.
59
Sync 101
Terms
! In Perpetuity - The grant of use by contractual
rights to a piece of music synchronized to a
project forever. If a publishing company, record
label or film company is sold to another entity,
all contracted rights follow the song and
recording to the new company.
60
Sync 101
Terms
! Licensee - The entity to which a
license is granted.
61
Sync 101
Terms
! Licensing Agent - An entity,
assigned via a legal document, given
permission to license a piece of music,
on behalf of the owner.
62
Sync 101
Terms
! Licensor - The owner of a piece of
music or work.
63
Sync 101
Terms
! Master Rights Owner - The owner
of the master rights to the sound
recording of a piece of music.
64
Sync 101
Terms
! Master/Sync (Synchronization) License - A sync license
involves both the use of a pre-recorded piece of music and
a previously recorded piece of music recorded by a
different artist (a re-recording). In the first case, a music
license encompasses both sides of the music, the actual
song (publishing) and it’s recording (master). In the second
case, a music license encompasses only the publishing side
of the music.
65
Sync 101
Terms
! Metadata - Vital information added
to a piece of music or work to make it
more searchable and to provide key
details, such as composer, publisher,
genre, labels, etc. to users of the
music.
66
Sync 101
Terms
! Most Favored Nations (aka MFN) - A term borrowed from the United
Nations, in music licensing it can mean; (a) that the publisher(s) and the
master owner(s) will be treated equally and without preference, or (b) that
if a piece of music of similar status to another is licensed at a higher fee
than originally quoted, the user is obligated to pay the higher fee for all
pieces music of similar status. Similar status does not mean that an indie
artist will command the same license fee as a song written and/or recorded
by a superstar artist. Similar status implies equal treatment between artists
in a similar station in their career.
67
Sync 101
Terms
! Music Clearance - The act of obtaining permission to
use a piece of music from the publisher(s) and/or its
master rights holders. “Music clearance” involves a
synchronization license issued by the publisher for the
use of the song/composition, and a master use license
issued by the master rights holder of the specific
recording of the song/composition.
68
Sync 101
Terms
! Music Library - A collection of music
for licensing to a project.
69
Sync 101
Terms
! Music Publisher - An entity that works with
songwriters and composers to promote,
market and pitch the writer’s songs/
compositions. In return for its services, a
publisher will take a percentage of the
publishing half of a song (up to 100%).
70
Sync 101
Terms
! Music Supervisor - A “music supervisor”
chooses pieces of music, and obtains
licensing, for a project, overseeing all of the
creative and business aspects of the music
for that project.
71
Sync 101
Terms
! Offer Price - The price either a
potential licensee offers for a sync
license or a licensor offers to a
potential licensee for the same.
72
Sync 101
Terms
! One Stop - When all the rights to a
piece of music have been cleared for
sync licensing. “One stop” is attractive
to music supervisors and licensees as
they only need to go to one person to
clear the music for usage.
73
Sync 101
Terms
! Pre-cleared Music - When all the
rights to a piece of music have been
cleared in advance. The purchaser of
“pre-cleared music” automatically has
permission to use the music for pre-
specified uses.
74
Sync 101
Terms
! Production Music - Music written
for licensing through a music library.
75
Sync 101
Terms
! Publishing Rights - The underlying
rights to a composition and all the
powers contained within.
76
Sync 101
Terms
! Public Domain (aka PD) - A song is considered in the
“public domain” when all rights have expired, or when the
rights holder(s) put a work into the public domain, or when
the work was never copywritten. As copyrights differ
between countries, a song in the public domain in the United
States may not be in the public domain in the United
Kingdom, as virtually every music license’s territory is
“worldwide”.
77
Sync 101
Terms
! Publisher - An entity that controls
and administers the publishing rights
of songwriters and composers.
78
Sync 101
Terms
! Record Label - An entity that
typically pays for and/or facilitates the
recording and release of a piece of
music.
79
Sync 101
Terms
! Retitling - When a composer offers a piece of
music to multiple music libraries on a non-
exclusive basis, the individual libraries will
“retitle” the music under a different name.
Retitling ensures the proper music library
receives any royalties on the use of the music.
80
Sync 101
Terms
! Samples - A section of someone
else’s music for use in a new
composition. A license from both the
publisher(s) and the master rights
holder(s) are required to use a sample
in a new composition.
81
Sync 101
Terms
! Score Music (aka Score) - Original music that is
composed specifically to accompany a film or other
audio-visual project. A “score” is typically done as a
“work for hire” by a composer, but a smaller up-front
payment coupled with retention of a percentage of
the publishing and/or masters is common in the indie
film market.
82
Sync 101
Terms
! Sound Recording - A recording of a musical work that is
owned by, paid for, and facilitated by, the master rights
holder(s). The copyright to a “sound recording” is for
everything you hear. For a major label artist, this copyright
is generally wholly owned by the record label, but for
independent artists, this may belong to the artist/band.
83
Sync 101
Terms
! Sync Query - A document which
details all of the information required
by a licensor to issue a sync license.
84
Sync 101
Terms
! Sync Use - A music licensing term
used to note that the piece of music
can only be used in a specific portion
of a production (this includes any
trailers the scene may be used in).
85
Sync 101
Terms
! Temp Music - Music that a director
may temporarily place in into a film or
TV show before the composition or
selection of the actual music.
86
Sync 101
Terms
! Territory - Where the license is
applicable and which laws the license
is subject to.
87
Sync 101
Terms
! Term - The amount of time a license
is valid for.
88
Sync 101
Terms
! Work for Hire (aka Work Made for Hire) -
When a composer is paid an up-front, or
other negotiated fee, for writing music,
which becomes the property of the
employer. This most often applies to the
music written by the score composer.
89
Sync 101
Terms
! Work on Spec - Composition of a
piece of music without a guarantee
that it will be used. If the person who
commissions the music likes the music
written, the composer receives some
form of compensation.
90
Sync 101
Terms
! Gratis - Use granted that is with no
cost.

This saves the producer the time of having to renegotiate rights in order to continue using a song in a project. Budget State your total film budget as well as your music budget.

  • 44. Section 9: SYNC 101 - ESSENTIAL SYNC TERMS 44
  • 45. ! Administrator - The entity responsible for managing a piece of music. This can be the publisher or the record label or someone appointed or assigned by either of the two. 45 Sync 101 Terms
  • 46. ! Air Date - The scheduled live date of a project. 46 Sync 101 Terms
  • 47. ! All In - When both the sound recording (master rights) fee and the song (publishing rights) fees are combined into one “all in” fee for sync licensing a song. 47 Sync 101 Terms
  • 48. ! Assignment of Copyright - When the ownership of a copyright is transferred from one party to another. Assignment must be in writing. 48 Sync 101 Terms
  • 49. ! Audio/Visual Work - The term for film, television, or any other visual production. 49 Sync 101 Terms
  • 50. ! Blanket license - A license which gives a user permission to use all of the songs in a Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) repertoire for a set annual fee. 50 Sync 101 Terms
  • 51. ! Bumper - Originally used in radio broadcasts, a “bumper” is a short piece of music (often signature or theme music) that is used to transition between two scenes or segments in an audio-visual production. 51 Sync 101 Terms
  • 52. ! Buy-out, When a piece of music is purchased once, and need not be paid for again, ever. 52 Sync 101 Terms
  • 53. ! Consent Decree - issued by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), this is the agreement that sets limitations on ASCAP and BMI to ensure fair access to the PROs repertoire and is intended to promote competition in the marketplace for musical works. 53 Sync 101 Terms
  • 54. ! Context - The visual portion of a film or scene that the piece of music is being synchronized with. This is a key- driver in determining sync fees. 54
  • 55. ! Copyright Recapture (aka Reversion) - For copyrights prior to 1978, when the copyright was split into two 28 year periods, “copyright recapture” is the process of recapturing a copyright starting on the 56th year from when the copyright was originally registered. This process terminates the copyright under the old law and reverts it into the current copyright law. 55 Sync 101 Terms
  • 56. ! Cue Sheet - Documents which let PROs track the use of music in film and TV, allowing composers and publishers to be compensated for their work. Each time a film or TV show is completed, a “cue sheet” is prepared, listing all of the music used in the production, including composer(s), publisher(s), air date, length and so on. 56 Sync 101 Terms
  • 57. ! Duration - The length of time a piece of music is used. 57 Sync 101 Terms
  • 58. ! Ephemeral Use - Ephemeral means temporary. From the early days of live television, when a guest would begin singing a song unexpectedly, the producers didn’t want to be liable for licensing the works. As live recordings were not meant for re-broadcast, ephemeral use was born. Today, a piece of copywritten material may be unintentionally broadcast in the background of a program. As the use is not intentional, nor is any exploitation of that use, permission from the copyright owner(s) is not required. 58 Sync 101 Terms
  • 59. ! Family Estate - A person’s estate is all of the property owned by that person at death. A will dictates where that estate goes. When a family initiates a family trust (a legal agreement), the assets within are the “family estate”. A copyright is a type of property that can be transferred or assigned to a “family estate”. 59 Sync 101 Terms
  • 60. ! In Perpetuity - The grant of use by contractual rights to a piece of music synchronized to a project forever. If a publishing company, record label or film company is sold to another entity, all contracted rights follow the song and recording to the new company. 60 Sync 101 Terms
  • 61. ! Licensee - The entity to which a license is granted. 61 Sync 101 Terms
  • 62. ! Licensing Agent - An entity, assigned via a legal document, given permission to license a piece of music, on behalf of the owner. 62 Sync 101 Terms
  • 63. ! Licensor - The owner of a piece of music or work. 63 Sync 101 Terms
  • 64. ! Master Rights Owner - The owner of the master rights to the sound recording of a piece of music. 64 Sync 101 Terms
  • 65. ! Master/Sync (Synchronization) License - A sync license involves both the use of a pre-recorded piece of music and a previously recorded piece of music recorded by a different artist (a re-recording). In the first case, a music license encompasses both sides of the music, the actual song (publishing) and it’s recording (master). In the second case, a music license encompasses only the publishing side of the music. 65 Sync 101 Terms
  • 66. ! Metadata - Vital information added to a piece of music or work to make it more searchable and to provide key details, such as composer, publisher, genre, labels, etc. to users of the music. 66 Sync 101 Terms
  • 67. ! Most Favored Nations (aka MFN) - A term borrowed from the United Nations, in music licensing it can mean; (a) that the publisher(s) and the master owner(s) will be treated equally and without preference, or (b) that if a piece of music of similar status to another is licensed at a higher fee than originally quoted, the user is obligated to pay the higher fee for all pieces music of similar status. Similar status does not mean that an indie artist will command the same license fee as a song written and/or recorded by a superstar artist. Similar status implies equal treatment between artists in a similar station in their career. 67 Sync 101 Terms
  • 68. ! Music Clearance - The act of obtaining permission to use a piece of music from the publisher(s) and/or its master rights holders. “Music clearance” involves a synchronization license issued by the publisher for the use of the song/composition, and a master use license issued by the master rights holder of the specific recording of the song/composition. 68 Sync 101 Terms
  • 69. ! Music Library - A collection of music for licensing to a project. 69 Sync 101 Terms
  • 70. ! Music Publisher - An entity that works with songwriters and composers to promote, market and pitch the writer’s songs/ compositions. In return for its services, a publisher will take a percentage of the publishing half of a song (up to 100%). 70 Sync 101 Terms
  • 71. ! Music Supervisor - A “music supervisor” chooses pieces of music, and obtains licensing, for a project, overseeing all of the creative and business aspects of the music for that project. 71 Sync 101 Terms
  • 72. ! Offer Price - The price either a potential licensee offers for a sync license or a licensor offers to a potential licensee for the same. 72 Sync 101 Terms
  • 73. ! One Stop - When all the rights to a piece of music have been cleared for sync licensing. “One stop” is attractive to music supervisors and licensees as they only need to go to one person to clear the music for usage. 73 Sync 101 Terms
  • 74. ! Pre-cleared Music - When all the rights to a piece of music have been cleared in advance. The purchaser of “pre-cleared music” automatically has permission to use the music for pre- specified uses. 74 Sync 101 Terms
  • 75. ! Production Music - Music written for licensing through a music library. 75 Sync 101 Terms
  • 76. ! Publishing Rights - The underlying rights to a composition and all the powers contained within. 76 Sync 101 Terms
  • 77. ! Public Domain (aka PD) - A song is considered in the “public domain” when all rights have expired, or when the rights holder(s) put a work into the public domain, or when the work was never copywritten. As copyrights differ between countries, a song in the public domain in the United States may not be in the public domain in the United Kingdom, as virtually every music license’s territory is “worldwide”. 77 Sync 101 Terms
  • 78. ! Publisher - An entity that controls and administers the publishing rights of songwriters and composers. 78 Sync 101 Terms
  • 79. ! Record Label - An entity that typically pays for and/or facilitates the recording and release of a piece of music. 79 Sync 101 Terms
  • 80. ! Retitling - When a composer offers a piece of music to multiple music libraries on a non- exclusive basis, the individual libraries will “retitle” the music under a different name. Retitling ensures the proper music library receives any royalties on the use of the music. 80 Sync 101 Terms
  • 81. ! Samples - A section of someone else’s music for use in a new composition. A license from both the publisher(s) and the master rights holder(s) are required to use a sample in a new composition. 81 Sync 101 Terms
  • 82. ! Score Music (aka Score) - Original music that is composed specifically to accompany a film or other audio-visual project. A “score” is typically done as a “work for hire” by a composer, but a smaller up-front payment coupled with retention of a percentage of the publishing and/or masters is common in the indie film market. 82 Sync 101 Terms
  • 83. ! Sound Recording - A recording of a musical work that is owned by, paid for, and facilitated by, the master rights holder(s). The copyright to a “sound recording” is for everything you hear.
