Synchronization royalties are generated when copyrighted music is paired or synced with visual media. Synchronization licenses give the license holder the right to use copyrighted music in films, television, video games, online streaming, advertisements, and any other type of visual media.


Sync royalties are paid for the use of a master recording and the musical composition. Recording artists earn sync royalties for the use of the master recording, while songwriters earn them for the use of the composition.
