What you'll learn here
- What a synchronization license is
- How Soundstripe sync licenses work
- The difference between subscription and single-use licenses
A synchronization, or sync, license gives you the legal right to pair music with:
- Videos
- Films
- Ads
- Social media posts
- Podcasts or other multimedia content
How sync licenses work at Soundstripe:
Subscription licenses
- Each download includes a sync license for a specific project
- Projects created while subscribed remain licensed forever
- Use is based on your plan's coverage (Personal, Pro, Business)
Single-use licenses
- Purchased for one specific project or client
- Ideal for projects outside subscription coverage
- Provides sync rights limited to the defined use
Important to know:
- Soundstripe licenses cover synchronization rights only
- Broadcast projects may require additional documentation like cue sheets
