Agreement Generator
DropCue Studio's Agreement Generator turns your deal terms into a clean, licensor-protective sync license — exported as a signature-ready PDF and an editable Word doc, then saved against the deal. Built for working composers and sync teams who close placements faster than they should be wrestling with contract templates.

PDF and editable Word from one set of terms. Fill the deal once — track, licensee, fee, media, term, territory — and download a signature-ready PDF plus a fully editable .doc. Both render from the same clause source, so your contract and your redline can never drift out of sync.
Twenty clauses written to protect the licensor. Grant and scope, editing rights, ownership, original-work indemnity, no rights until paid, late payment, liability cap, cue sheet delivery, credit, publicity, governing law and disputes — the language sync supervisors expect, with a built-in 'no rights transfer until payment clears.'
Composition-only or composition-plus-master, no over-granting. Toggle exactly what you control. If you own the master, license both publishing and master in one agreement; if you only hold the composition, the contract grants only that — so you never sign away rights you don't own.
Every contract linked to its deal. Each agreement saves to your account with the licensee, project, fee, and a status field — draft, sent, signed, paid, expired. Reopen any deal, regenerate the PDF, and stop hunting through your downloads folder at tax time.
Solo-clean or full sync-agency detail. Optional fields for publisher, PRO, agency, end client, and campaign appear only when you fill them. A solo composer gets a tidy two-party license; a sync agency gets the full chain with no extra template juggling.
Multi-track placements in one numbered schedule. Licensing a bundle of cues for one production? Add every track and the generator builds a numbered schedule inside a single agreement — one document, one signature, the whole placement covered.
1. Enter the deal terms. Type in the track(s), the licensee, the fee, the media and territory, the term, and any custom terms. Choose composition-only or composition-plus-master. Optional agency and PRO fields stay hidden until you need them.
2. Preview the live contract. DropCue assembles the clauses and shows a live preview as you type, so you see the exact license before you export — credit line in your own name, schedule filled, terms reading clean.
3. Export PDF + Word. Download a signature-ready PDF for the supervisor and an editable Word version for any redline. Same source, so nothing falls out of step between the two files.
4. Save it against the deal. The agreement saves to your account with a status you can move from draft to signed to paid. Reopen, re-download, or update it any time — your placement paperwork lives in one place.
A sync license agreement needs to spell out the grant and scope, the media and territory, the term, the fee and payment terms, whether you're licensing the composition only or the composition plus the master, and protective clauses like indemnity, liability cap, and cue sheet delivery. DropCue Studio's Agreement Generator handles all of it — you enter the deal terms and it produces a complete, licensor-protective sync license as a PDF and editable Word doc, so you're not assembling a contract from scratch or trusting a random template.
Most free templates online are generic, often US-state-specific, and don't distinguish composition rights from master rights — which can get you over-granting rights you don't own. The Agreement Generator in DropCue Studio goes further than a static template: it generates a custom agreement from your specific deal, with a composition-only vs composition-plus-master toggle and twenty clauses written to protect the licensor. It's included with the Studio plan, which has a 7-day free trial.
Yes. Every agreement exports as both a signature-ready PDF and a fully editable Word (.doc) file, and both are generated from the same clause source so they stay identical. Use the Word version to add custom language or run a redline with the other party, and there's an Additional Terms field in the generator itself for deal-specific clauses that appear right in the contract.
The composition is the underlying song — the writing and publishing. The master is the specific recording. If you wrote the music but a label owns the recording, you can only license the composition; if you own both, you can license both in one deal. DropCue's Agreement Generator has a toggle for exactly this, so the contract grants only what you control and never over-grants the master when you only hold the publishing.
Yes. When you're placing several cues in one production, add each track and the Agreement Generator builds a numbered schedule inside one agreement — a single document and a single signature covering the whole placement, instead of one contract per track. It's part of the Business Suite on the DropCue Studio plan.
Each contract you generate saves to your account with the licensee, project, fee, and a status field you can move from draft to sent to signed to paid. You can reopen any deal, regenerate the PDF, or update its status — it's the foundation of DropCue Studio's license tracking, so your placement paperwork stays organized instead of scattered across your downloads folder.
