SYNCHRONIZATION LICENSING
A synchronization license is for video products (DVDs, YouTube videos, other web videos and slideshows). Currently, SK Publishing does not charge for live stream or video-on-demand records via YouTube or Facebook and general social media postings of rehearsal or concert footage. SK Publishing considers these types of videos as positive tools for all involved. Click here to let us know about your project.
