Music licensing clearance: what to sort out first
Music licensing clearance involves more than one permission. A sync licence covers using the composition with moving images, a master licence covers the specific recording and mechanical rights relate to reproduction. Different people may own each, which is why tracks with multiple writers take longer. Tell us where the video will appear, for how long and in which countries, because scope and duration change the price and terms.
Order early. Rights holders reply on their own schedule, and refusals happen, so avoid building an edit around a song you have not cleared. Keep written confirmation for every track with the licence terms. Send your track list with artist and title, the intended platforms and paid-advertising plans, and a backup option for each key song.
