What Are Sync Briefs
Sync licensing is the process of licensing music for use in film, television, advertising, video games, and other media. Sync briefs are documents that provide information about a specific sync licensing opportunity. They typically include the following information:The type of media the music will be used in- The target audience for the media

- Any specific instrumental cues that are desired

Types of Sync Licensing
There are two types of sync licensing: exclusive and non-exclusive. Exclusive licensing means that the music supervisor will have the sole right to use the music in the project. This means that the artist will not be able to use the music in any other projects. Non-exclusive licensing means that the music supervisor will have one of several rights to use the music in the project. This means that the artist may still be able to use the music in other projects.The type of licensing that is used will depend on the specific project and the needs of the music supervisor. In general, exclusive licensing is used for high-profile projects, while non-exclusive licensing is used for smaller projects.
