Accompaniment Tracks
In order to record an accompaniment track, you will need permission from the producer of the accompaniment track. An accompaniment track has two copyright owners - the owner of the song on the track, and the company that produced the accompaniment track. Your Church Copyright License covers the song if it is from the Authorized Catalog List , but it does not cover the copying of the actual accompaniment track itself. Permission would need to be obtained from the producer of the accompaniment track.
Visual Layout
We have provided a sample layout of a projection (slide or transparency) print, bulletin or songsheet for your convenience. Please be sure to list the copyright information of the song at the bottom of your copy as shown.

VIDEO LICENSE THROUGH CVLI
Through an agreement with several producers, the CVLI Church Video License provides legal coverage for churches and for other ministry organizations to show home videocassettes and videodiscs of motion pictures. (Each organization needs to be specifically covered.) Coverage includes playing just a few seconds of a video all the way up to showing a full-length feature.
The Church Video License is one of the most cost effective and convenient ways for churches and other ministry organizations to protect themselves from the possibility of being fined for illegal use of videocassettes and videotapes.
What You Can Do With this license:
1. Pastors can use portions of movies to illustrate sermon points.
2. Sunday schools and Youth Groups can view the latest videos.
3. Educational classes can use videos for teaching and training.
Other ministry organizations (schools, childcare, conferences, camps) can also be licensed to include videos in their programs.
What You Can't Do
This license does not cover materials that have been copied from another source or recorded from television. It also does not cover charging an admission fee for video showings or where specific titles have been advertised or publicized.
In Short: You cannot in any way edit any video or television clips. They must me shown in their original format from their original format. No editing is allowed in any form.

Used by churches all over the world to help teach worship, the Experiencing Worship study can help your worship team too.
Your team will learn why we worship and gain a better understanding of how to worship.
