fair use of videotapes

My understanding is that synchronization rights are required to use elements of audio or video tape in a new creation. Most library-purchased video tapes hopefully include the purchase of performance rights, but do not address synchronization rights. In addition, the copyright guidelines for print specifically prohibit creation of anthologies, which editing segments of a video tape would parallel. In my role as a media administrator, I have required permission from the copyright holder for any use of commercial materials such as you describe. I am interested in hearing other interpretations that follow.
