How much does it cost to halt the release of an audiovisual production because of a flaw in the music license?
A production’s real risk is not in the editing room, but in the legal chain of custody of its rights.
More than an artistic decision
In the entertainment industry, the choice of soundtrack is usually approached from a purely artistic perspective. However, if the synchronization agreements are not locked down in pre-production, it is not only the release that is at risk: the return on investment of the entire project is in jeopardy.
What the license must define
- The territory.
- The broadcast and distribution formats.
- The term of the license.
Defining these points precisely during pre-production is the way to secure the return on investment of an audiovisual project.
