Key points covered in this contract

  • Mix inputs: approved dialogue, music, and effects supplied for the mix.

  • Revisions and extra work: included review rounds versus changes to the approved scope.
  • Rights and handoff: ownership, third-party licenses, and source-file handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does hiring a film sound mixer include creating missing sound effects?
A re-recording mixer balances dialogue, music, and effects into the final soundtrack. Creating missing effects or recording new dialogue can be separate work. A mixing agreement should distinguish combining supplied tracks from producing new material.
What is the difference between a finished video and editable project files?
A finished video can be watched or published. Project files contain the timeline, settings, and links to source material used to create it. They may require specific software, plugins, or separate asset licenses to work. Delivery of the finished video does not automatically include those files.
What counts as one revision round?
A revision round usually means one collected set of feedback followed by an updated version. It is not necessarily one small change. A new direction or added work can be charged separately from revisions, while correcting work that missed the agreed requirements may be treated differently.
