Clear music for a video
Clear music for a video by verifying composition, recording, contributor, territory, term, platform, advertising, edit, and reporting rights.
Identify every right before treating a track as cleared.
When to use
- Use for original, commissioned, library, commercial, archival, live, public-domain, or user-submitted music.
- Obtain qualified rights advice for ambiguous ownership, exceptions, union, or jurisdiction questions.
- Do not publish while a material permission, territory, term, or contributor right remains unresolved.
Procedure
- Record track, version, recording, composition, writers, publishers, label, performers, source, and identifiers.
- Define exact use: duration, edit, scene, title, trailer, ad, platform, territory, term, paid media, live, download, derivative, and archive.
- Verify synchronization rights for the composition and master-use rights for the recording.
- Confirm contributor, performer, producer, sample, interpolation, moral, publicity, union, and neighboring-right obligations where applicable.
- Treat public-domain composition and public-domain recording as separate questions.
- Obtain written licenses or source terms that match the use, entity, dates, and versions.
- Record fees, cue-sheet, credit, notice, reporting, fingerprint, claim-release, renewal, and takedown requirements.
- Match the exact edit and file to the clearance register before publishing.
- Monitor platform claims and preserve licenses plus correspondence.
Failure plan
- If any material right or use is unresolved, replace the music or hold distribution.
- If a platform claim appears, preserve the notice and license, then dispute or replace through the authorized route.
