Question 1

What should I include in a film music brief?

Accepted Answer

Describe the scene or story, the mood you want, the desired duration, and the intended use for the music. Save the brief as a project so those details stay with the work as you explore directions, previews, and track revisions.

Question 2

What can CueCinder make from my brief?

Accepted Answer

You can request up to three contrasting written music directions from a saved brief. They are text descriptions of possible musical approaches, and you can edit and save them with the project.

Question 3

Are written directions audio or finished tracks?

Accepted Answer

No. A written direction is editable text, not an audio file. It can be used as the starting point for an audio preview request, but neither a written direction nor a preview is a promise of a finished track.

Question 4

How do I request an audio preview?

Accepted Answer

Save a written direction in the project, then request an audio preview from that direction. Preview audio is stored separately from tracks you register on the project; creating a preview does not register it as a source track.

Question 5

Will audio previews and revisions always be available?

Accepted Answer

No. The CueCinder owner must connect a compatible music provider and configure its endpoint and credentials before audio preview or track revision generation can run. A provider may be unavailable, reject its configured credentials, or fail a request, so generation is not guaranteed.

Question 6

How can I request a revision of a source track?

Accepted Answer

Register the source track on the project with its audio URL. Add a revision brief for the mood, tempo, or instrumentation you want to change, save that brief, and then request a revision based on the registered track.

Question 7

Does my intended-use brief give me music rights or permission?

Accepted Answer

No. The intended-use field records project context; it does not grant rights, establish ownership, provide a license, or confirm that a particular use is permitted. For a project-specific question, use the contact form below. The form does not itself grant rights or permission.
