What Is a Sync Licnese?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A sync license<\/a> is needed if you want to use music alongside video or a visual medium. You’re synchronising the audio to the visual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright and licensing can get complicated quickly, so, fortunately, this a relatively simple concept. A sync license allows you to feature music, either diegetic or non-diegetic<\/a>, in your projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when you make a podcast – an entirely audio-based production – you don’t need a sync license, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Podcast Music Licensing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We aren’t trying to confuse you deliberately. We’re well aware that we said a sync license enables you to add music to video. But you will also need one if you’re adding music to podcasts<\/a> (which we strongly feel you should be doing, by the way!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Podcasts have increased significantly in popularity in recent years. Low production costs, accessibility, and the pandemic have been ingredients to produce a delicious soup of more people both making and listening to podcasts. According to Statista<\/a>, there are an estimated 16.76 million podcast listeners in the UK in 2021. This is double that of the 2017 estimate, and is forecast to continue to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now is evidently a great time to have a go at creating your own brilliant podcast. But, don’t forget about podcast music licensing. Although sync licenses are for things like film and video, because you’ll be adding music to a large audio production, you’ll still need the same license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
