Revising a film score from the director's notes

Published November 2026 · Updated November 9, 2026

Doseedo scores films in your browser and takes notes like a composer: on the whole score, on one cue, or on bars of one part. Every part is its own native stem with its MIDI, so one part, one bar or one cue can be changed without regenerating the rest, and the film comes back scored, with a printmaster, an M&E, a cue sheet and an editable Logic Pro, Ableton Live or REAPER session. Prefer your own AI agent? The same loop runs over MCP in ChatGPT or Claude. Each note makes a new version and the ones before it stay, so you can compare them and keep the one you want.

Your first film score is free: sign up with a verified email and it is on us, up to 300 credits.

Notes, the way a director gives them

• On the whole score. Type it, or pick a suggestion such as "Pull the music further back under the dialogue." The composer changes what the note touches, the cues, bars and parts it names, keeps the rest, and delivers the film again.
• On one cue. Open the cue and pick Darker, Brighter, More energy, Calmer, Hit the cuts or New players, or type your own. Only that cue changes. No music takes it off the timeline at once.
• On bars of one part. Name them ("the horns in bars 9 to 12 of 1M2"): the composer can play just those bars of that part again and keep the rest of the take.
• Marks. Add or move a hit on the ruler, and the change goes with your next note on the whole score.

Every version kept

Each delivery is a version. Switch between them on the delivery: the picture, the printmaster and the files follow the one you pick. The authorship record lists each note in your words, whether it was typed or a suggestion, and what the composer did next: the cues it rewrote, the bars it played again and the version it delivered.

What a note costs

Mixing and delivery are free. A note plays again only what it changes, at the same rates as the first pass, and the composer's writing is charged at its cost.

Your first film score is free. A free account with a verified email gets a one-time 300 credits for its first score, on top of the 120 a month, and the composer plans that score to fit them, so a long film is scored where it matters most.

After that, watching the film, mixing and delivery stay free. The performances use credits, like any render on Doseedo: 10 credits for every 30 seconds of music for each group of up to six parts, and a flat 20 to split the film's own soundtrack. The composer's writing is charged in credits at what it costs us. A one-minute scene with a mid-size orchestra is usually 60 to 140 credits of performances; with the composer's writing, the panel's estimate for it is 260 to 750 credits in all, and that estimate errs high. The panel shows the estimate for your film before you start, beside what you have left.

A free account comes with 120 credits a month. Pro is $12 a month with 2,000. You own what you make, to the extent the law allows (Terms §6.3).

The limits

• Parts and bars are named in words. There is no picker for a part or a bar yet: say which in the note.
• "Keep the rest" is an instruction, not a lock. The composer is told to leave everything else as it was; compare the versions to be sure.
• One score at a time. Notes work on the score you are in; a new upload starts a new score.
