# Sync Licensing

Pitch your tracks for use in TV, film, ads, and games.

A sync licensing toolkit. Build your sync catalog with metadata (mood, genre, BPM, key, lyric themes), pitch music supervisors and licensing houses, track every submission through a pipeline, and log earnings.

## Workflow

1. **Build your catalog**

   Add tracks with detailed metadata. The richer the metadata, the better matches the Brief Matcher can find.

2. **Find opportunities**

   "Find Opportunities" has your Sync Agent suggest sync opportunities that fit your catalog, and the Resources tab lists libraries, marketplaces, pitching platforms, and directories.

3. **See who you already know**

   When the results come back, MusicLaunch also checks your own Contacts and this campaign's Collaborators for anyone at a company the results suggest or at a company on the Resources list (same work email or website domain, or the same company name; personal addresses like Gmail don't count), and for anyone you tagged "sync" or "music supervisor". They're listed under "People you know in sync" at the top of the results, and an opportunity shows "You know someone here" with their names. Click a name to open that person. The Resources tab shows the same note on matching listings. This check runs on your Mac: nothing about your contacts is sent to your team. If nobody matches, nothing extra is shown. "Last Results" shows your latest results again without using your allowance (until you quit MusicLaunch).

4. **Use Brief Matcher to find tracks**

   On the Catalog tab, click Match Brief and paste a brief: your Sync Agent scores your tracks against it (needs a team plan or your included 30 days). "Create Submission" on a match opens New Sync Submission with that track already picked.

5. **Submit and track in the Pipeline**

   Each submission moves through stages: Draft → Pitched → Under Review → Shortlisted → Negotiation → Placed (or Passed). Set a follow-up date and the Follow-Ups tab shows what's overdue.

6. **Log earnings**

   Business → Earnings is where you log placement fees and royalties as they come in. Link an earning to the placement it came from: only submissions marked Placed are listed, and picking one fills in its fee if the amount is empty. The Revenue figure at the top of Sync Licensing is the Earnings total, so a placement counts once its money is logged there. Business → Cue Sheets generates cue sheets for placements.
