AUDIO MOTION MUSICSync / catalogue music
Existing recordings sourced to a brief. Confirm track suitability, versions, rights control and usage scope.
What does your picture need from the music?
Make the creative decision first, then work out the permissions. This local planning tool helps producers, supervisors, agencies and artists choose the right route and prepare a useful enquiry.
No login. No automated quote or rights clearance. Your answers stay in this browser page until you choose to copy them.
Build the right music request
Provide what is known. “To be confirmed” is better than an invented budget, rights owner or deadline.
Suggested starting point
What to confirm before approval
These are planning prompts, not legal advice or a clearance status. The actual rights depend on the recording and intended use.
Your copyable project brief
Copy your brief, then paste it into the message/details field of the enquiry form. No information is transmitted from this page automatically.
Five distinct routes, not one generic “music licence”
Each choice changes the rights questions and creative deliverables. You can also start with a supervisor if you need several services together.
Famous-song clearance
A specific selected recording. Research composition and master controllers, seek quotes and document approvals.
Original composition
Music created for the edit. Discuss scope, stems, revisions, deliverables and ownership terms.
Sample / interpolation clearance
Borrowed audio or melody in a new recording. Identify each source and separate the recording from the composition rights.
Music supervision
Creative sourcing and practical rights coordination across a production or multiple cues.
Verify relevant experience
Inspect selected screen credits and role descriptions. Credit evidence does not imply ownership or approval of other songs.
Why the exact intended use matters
A track used in a UK television advert may need additional scope for international paid social, cut-downs, an extended campaign or a re-recorded version. Copyright licence terms can be limited by purpose, territory or time. Planning those uses early reduces preventable back-and-forth; it does not guarantee a fee or approval.
