The Creator and their team do not have to change any of their current processes other than now having the opportunity of using royalty “earning” music in their video content. The earnings from this additional music revenues will be split evenly between the Creator, Producer and Sync Royalty of net profits. Revenues from the music and music publishing royalties are new, additional and separate from the Creator’s existing earnings and will not affect Creator’s existing revenues and claims. The new and additional royalties and rates that Google pays out to publishers vary just as they do with creator’s regular payouts. Royalty rates are based upon add to view ratios as not all views are equal to all viewer’s status. Out of of Google’s share (not the client’s) of add-revenue, Google sets aside up to 10% to pay towards additional music royalties. This portion of net royalties is what Sync Royalty splits with the creator. The Creators

However, if the Creator so wishes they may share track/s with a fellow content creator of their choice and / or through Sync Royalty’s other Creators. If Creator elects to use “Track Sharing”, then the Creator will earn yet another new and additional revenue from other creators using their track/s. We refer to these revenues as “2nd Generation Royalties”. (Note: The fellow content creator in which the track/s are shared with will also receive royalties. The “Track Sharing” royalties are split at a lower percentage than 1st Generation royalties.
