Trusted by Film & TV Music Supervisors & Sync Agencies
Here is how active music supervisors, trailer editors, and sync licensing directors eliminate clearance backlogs and deliver spotless cue sheets with our managed virtual assistants.
"Supervising a 10-episode drama series meant clearing over 60 commercial songs on strict MFN terms. My SageDoer VA built our entire clearance grid, confirmed all 100% publishing splits on Songview, and drafted deal memos in record time."
"Compiling RapidCue sheets before network delivery was always a midnight nightmare. Our assistant takes the final picture XML, pulls every cue timecode, cross-checks IPIs, and submits approved sheets with zero audit kickbacks."
"The dedicated project manager supervision is phenomenal. When our primary assistant was out sick during our Sundance festival delivery lock, SageDoer had a pre-briefed backup assistant handling our master stems deliveries seamlessly."
"We saved over $3,800 every month compared to hiring an on-site junior sync coordinator. Our DISCO pitch playlists are tagged to perfection, and our trailer license invoices are reconciled to the penny."

Frequently Asked Questions
Real-world questions music supervisors, clearance coordinators, and sync agency founders ask before delegating operations.
Our VAs are trained in music rights administration. They perform comprehensive repertory searches across Songview, ASCAP ACE, BMI Repertoire, SESAC, PRS for Music, and Harry Fox Agency (HFA). They identify every co-writer, publisher, administrator, and sub-publisher, ensuring that all shares add up to exactly 100% on the publishing side and confirming the master rights holder (or verifying if a recording is 100% one-stop indie) before quote requests are dispatched.
Yes. Your VA works directly with your editor’s XML or EDL audio reports to extract precise start times, end times, and duration for every source cue and composer score track. They populate title, artist, composer/writer, publisher, PRO affiliations, IPI numbers, and cue usage codes (BI, VV, VI, BV, MT, ET). They format files for direct electronic ingestion into RapidCue, Soundmouse, or production distribution delivery portals.
Confidentiality is fundamental in entertainment and advertising. We execute comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to onboarding. We recommend providing your VA with role-restricted credentials within your secure cloud storage (such as Box, Dropbox, or Google Workspace) and password managers like 1Password. Unreleased rough cuts, temp tracks, script sides, and talent deal numbers are never downloaded or stored locally on unauthorized devices.
Unlike unmanaged freelance gig websites where you waste hours reviewing mistakes, interviewing replacements, and monitoring time trackers, SageDoer provides an experienced Project Manager at zero extra cost. Your PM conducts pre-flight technical QA audits on clearance grids, verifies cue sheet totals, monitors MFN quote parity, and guarantees pre-trained backup coverage if your assistant is sick or on leave.
None at all. We take 0% of your supervisor fees, sync license fees, or publishing royalties. We charge zero platform fees, zero onboarding costs, and zero recruitment markups. You pay strictly for actual productive hours worked at a flat rate of $7/hour for part-time (20 hrs/wk) or $6/hour for full-time (40 hrs/wk). You can scale hours up during high-demand festival runs or episodic television series and pause flexibly without penalties.
