Hot take
Chordal is rapidly making waves in the sync world by offering a tech-first, AI-driven sync licensing platform tailored for both major and indie rights holders. Their platform stands out for its Smart AI Search, which lets creatives and supervisors find the perfect track with natural language and visual cues—far beyond the old-school tagging systems. The new InstantClear™ feature seriously streamlines pre-cleared licensing, making it super efficient for content pros to secure music without legal headaches. Chordal isn’t a traditional library middleman; rights holders maintain full control and transparency, and tools like the desktop auditioning app and project-based organization are a dream for fast-paced production teams. However, while the tech focus is impressive, some users might find onboarding a bit daunting, and the highly enterprise-angled approach could overshadow indie DIY needs. Still, Chordal is pushing sync forward in creator-friendly ways and is worth watching.
