Synchronization Licensing Agreement

A Synchronization Licensing Agreement is a legal contract that grants permission to use a copyrighted song in timed relation with visual media, such as movies, TV shows, commercials, or videos. The licenseholder (usually a production company or creator) pays the song’s owner or rights holder (such as the musician or publisher) for the right to synchronize the music with their visuals. This agreement specifies how the music can be used, for how long, and often involves payment, ensuring both parties' rights are protected while enabling creative media projects to incorporate music legally.
