Click here to level up your sync career ➡️ https://blackfriday.syncproducerhub.com In this episode of Sync Producer Spotlight host Jason interviews guest Anthony Clint Jr., founder of the Sync Producer Hub. They discuss the hot topic of AI in music — whether AI will replace human creators, how publishers and supervisors currently view AI-generated music, and practical, ethical ways to use AI in the sync workflow. Key topics include real-world AI use cases (chord suggestions, metadata generation, artwork, lyric transcription), which genres and sync needs are more "AI-proof" (cinematic blends, custom scoring, collaborative production), and how to protect your work from data scraping and legal pitfalls highlighted by recent lawsuits. Anthony also explains the value of community, branding and visibility, introduces the new Sync Producer Hub AI Suite, and leaves listeners with practical advice: adapt to the tools, don’t be driven by fear, and leverage human skills like team management and customization to stay competitive.
