So you are interested
in obtaining permission to use GFmix for your video
production.
Some but not all of our music mixes are available for
use in video productions. Many of our customers
assume that since they've purchased a GFMix CD, it would
be available to use as background music for their video
production. This is a common misconception and the
following information should clarify any questions you
might have.
Q:
Can I just use my GFMix CD as music in my video?
A: No, By law, one
must obtain two licenses from two different sources for
each song used on any video regardless of the nature of
the video. The first license, the Master Use License,
permits the use of the actual sound recording of a song.
This is obtained from the company owning the master,
which in most cases is the record company. The second
license is called a Synchronization (Sync) License and
is obtained from the publisher of the song. The
publisher represents the composers and authors of the
song, and the record company represents the artists and
producers. This is why you cannot use a GFmix program in
your video. GFmix licenses the right to manufacture CDs
from the various record companies and publishers and not
the rights to manufacture videos.
Q:
So where do I get video music?
A: Uur video mixes have been
used in many of your favorite video programs including
Cathe Friedrich, Karen Voight, Keli Roberts, CIA, Rob
Glick, Crunch, The Firm, Urban Rebounding, Fitness
Quest, FitTV, & many, many more! Since GFMix
owns the recordings and the compositions GFMix can
grant you the license to manufacture videos with music
from their catalog. And with the advances in the
Internet you can now preview preformatted workouts or
build you own custom workouts from the GFMix music
catalog. Please

Q:
Are there any GFMix CDs on your website that I can use
as is?
A: Yes, we have a
several CDs that are controlled entirely by GFmix.
You can find this list when you visit this link
Preformatted Albums. But if you are more
interested in using some of our theme productions or our
Top 40 CDs, you can license our remakes, but you will
still have to contact the publishers of the
compositions. In some cases, our club mixes can also be
fully licensed including all publishing, master & synch
rights. If this is the direction you would prefer,
contact us and we will help you get started.
