The Synchronization license is needed for the use of the composition in conjunction with visual media.

• A. Master Use License
• B. Blanket License
• C. Synchronization license
• D. Mechanical License

Answer: (C)

A synchronization license is permission to pair a musical work with visual media, such as a film, TV show, commercial, or online video. This license covers the right to synchronize the composition with moving images, which is a distinct use from simply reproducing or performing the music in audio form. It’s specific to the composition itself and is typically obtained from the song’s publisher or copyright holder. Note that using the actual sound recording of the track in the video requires a separate master use license from the record label. A blanket license usually covers broad public-performance rights through a performing rights organization, not the right to sync music with video. A mechanical license covers reproduction of the composition in audio formats (like CDs or digital downloads), not its use with visuals.
