Free Music Video Director
Service Agreement
Stop handing over 4K masters and hoping the label doesn't ghost you before the final wire arrives.
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your production contract that the transfer of title and the license to exhibit the work are contingent upon the receipt of payment in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Music Video Director, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent labels or artists from using my high-res edit before they've paid the final invoice?
An automated digital escrow system holds your final 4K master behind a secure portal, requiring the client to complete their final payment to automatically trigger the release of the watermark-free files.
Will watermarking my work interfere with the client's review and approval process?
Not at all; you can provide a high-quality, watermarked preview for feedback and approvals, ensuring the client sees the full creative vision without being able to use it for distribution until the funds are released.
Is there a way to automate the delivery process so I don't have to manually check my bank account?
Yes, using a digital escrow service means the system monitors the payment status for you and instantly unlocks the clean assets for the client the moment the transaction is verified.
