Cue sheet services
ACCURATE CUE SHEETS BUILT FROM MUSIC-ONLY .PTX FILES, EDLs, OR FINAL CUTS — FORMATTED EXACTLY THE WAY EACH NETWORK REQUIRES. WHETHER THEY NEED EXCEL SHEETS OR SUBMISSION THROUGH RAPIDCUE, SOUNDMOUSE, OR OTHER PLATFORMS, I DELIVER FULLY COMPLIANT, NETWORK-READY DOCUMENTS.
Complete verification of song titles, timings, writers, publishers, PRO affiliations, and percentages to ensure the cue sheet is clean and fully compliant.
For reality TV, scripted shows, unscripted content, game shows, talk shows, and digital or streaming series.
Full cue sheet creation for feature films, shorts, documentaries, festival releases, and streaming originals.
Tight production deadlines are normal. I deliver quickly without sacrificing accuracy.
CREATING A CUE SHEET IS MORE THAN FILLING OUT FIELDS — IT’S IDENTIFYING THEMES, VERIFYING USE TYPES, CHECKING TIMINGS, CONFIRMING WRITER AND PUBLISHER INFORMATION, AND PREVENTING NETWORK OR PRO REJECTIONS.
With over 15 years in the industry, I know the process inside and out, so you don’t have to deal with back-and-forth corrections or delayed payments.

A cue sheet expert creates, organizes, verifies, and submits accurate cue sheets for television, film, and streaming platforms. This includes timing every music use, identifying themes, confirming correct writer and publisher information, and preparing clean, fully network-ready cue sheet files for PROs and networks.
If you are utilizing music in a project that will be publicly broadcast, yes, a cue sheet is required by copyright law.
Submitting them is often a contractual obligation for production companies and a necessity for accurate royalty collection, making them practically mandatory to avoid legal risks and ensure fair compensation for artists.
Absolutely. I regularly create cue sheets for ongoing TV series and entire seasons in addition to one-off TV specials and feature films.
TO BUILD AN ACCURATE CUE SHEET, I NEED A MUSIC-ONLY .PTX FILE AND A FINAL VERSION OF THE BITC FILE FOR YOUR EPISODE OR FILM. IF A .PTX ISN’T AVAILABLE, A MUSIC-ONLY EDL (.TXT) FILE WORKS AS WELL.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE EITHER, I CAN STILL WORK WITH A FINAL VERSION OF THE BITC FILE OF THE EPISODE OR FILM ALONG WITH THE LIST OF CUES USED. BUT KEEP IN MIND, COMPLETING THE CUE SHEET THIS WAY WILL REQUIRE MORE TIME.
FOR TIGHT DEADLINES, A .PTX FILE AND/OR EDL IS REQUIRED.
Fast. Let me know your deadline and I’ll match it.
