Synchronization Licenses
Through a synchronization license, you authorize someone to use your song with visual images. The visual images might be from a commercial, film, video, television show or other audiovisual production. Synchronization fees are subject to negotiation and vary according to the popularity of the song and the importance of the song in the visual piece. For example, the synchronization fee to use an entire song in a major motion picture might be in the $50,000 to $75,000 range while the synchronization fee for use of a song as background music in a television show might range from $1,000 to $2,000.
