A synch license and a “master use’ license go hand in hand. Synch licenses need to be cleared by the publishing on the music end and the music supervisor on the film end. These licenses need to be cleared for anything in film, movies, tv shows, commercials, etc. The synch license is to actaully synch the music up with the film and publish the finished work in a tangible form. The master use license is cleared through the record label or individual artist that owns the master track and is cleared so you can actually use the song in any way. If that makes sense.
