Who are we? We are a company specializing in automating the creation of cue sheets for television production companies.

Our solution saves time, improves accuracy, and ensures compliance with industry standards for music rights management.

Our software transforms .edl files into accurate cue sheets that meet the requirements of copyright management organizations.

Our program analyzes .edl files provided by users to automatically extract the necessary information for creating cue sheets, such as track titles, composers, and usage duration. It then matches the titles with corresponding credits to produce cue sheets compliant with copyright management organizations' standards (like SACEM).

A cue sheet is a crucial document in the audiovisual industry, detailing information about the music used in a production. It provides a comprehensive list of tracks, including:

• Music title: The exact name of each track used.
• Composers and publishers: The creators and publishers responsible for the music.
• Usage duration: The precise moments in the production where the music appears and its duration.
• Usage type: Indicates whether the music is used as background, a main theme, or accompanies a specific scene (e.g., opening, closing, transitions).
• Subtitle: In the case of a song with multiple authors, the subtitle is the name of the song.

Cue sheets are essential to guarantee fair remuneration for rights holders and facilitate the tracking and reporting of copyrights. They are typically submitted to collective rights management organizations, such as SACEM in France or ASCAP in the United States, for royalty administration.

An .edl file, or 'Edit Decision List,' is a format used in video editing to record project editing decisions. It contains essential information such as:

• Clip identifiers: The names or numbers of the video and/or audio clips used.
• In and out points: The precise moments where each clip starts and ends in the editing timeline.
• Transitions and effects: Some EDLs may also include information about transitions or effects applied.

EDL files are especially useful for transferring projects between editing software, enabling effective collaboration among post-production professionals.

To retrieve an .edl file, follow these steps:

• Use your editing software: Most video editing software, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, or Final Cut Pro, offer an option to export or save a project as an .edl file.
• In Adobe Premiere Pro: Go to the "File" menu, then select "Export" and choose "Edit Decision List" or "EDL."
• In Avid Media Composer: Go to "File," then "Export," and select the "EDL" option.
• Configure settings: When exporting, you will often have the option to select which sequences or clips to include in the EDL. Choose only the audio tracks containing the music.
• Save the file: Choose a location on your computer to save the .edl file and click "Save" or "Export."
• Verify the file: Once the file is created, open it with a text editor or import it into your editing software to ensure it contains the desired information.
