Scoring a feature-length film, reel by reel
Published November 2026 · Updated November 9, 2026
Doseedo scores films in your browser, and a feature is scored reel by reel: each reel of up to 25 minutes is uploaded and scored as its own film. 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. That is how it works today. This page says what works, what a 90-minute film costs, and what is not done yet.
Your first film score is free: sign up with a verified email and it is on us, up to 300 credits.
What works today
- Up to 25 minutes a pass. The film comes back scored up to 25 minutes at a time; a longer file is refused at delivery. Export each reel from your editor and score it as its own film.
- Up to eight cues a pass on a long reel. The composer scores the moments the reel needs most; ask for more cues afterwards.
- Cuts found to the frame at the film's own frame rate (23.976 to 60, drop-frame timecode at 29.97 and 59.94), and a cue's edges snap to the cuts near them.
- Each reel delivers its own files: the scored reel, a printmaster, an M&E, every part as its own stem with its MIDI, a cue sheet and a Logic Pro, Ableton Live or REAPER session. You join the reels in your editor or your DAW.
What is not done yet
- No feature has been scored end to end yet. The films on the demo reel are scenes of one to two minutes.
- Themes do not carry from reel to reel. Within one reel the composer writes its themes out as notes and every cue is written from them (recurring themes); the next reel's score starts from a new plan.
- One cue sheet per reel. It writes timecode in non-drop notation at the film's rounded frame rate, so at 29.97 or 59.94 drop-frame a long cue's out time can be a few frames off: check it against your edit before it goes to a broadcaster.
What a 90-minute film costs
For a reel longer than about six minutes, the panel's estimate is 1,050 to 2,230 credits a pass, the composer's writing included (eight cues; the estimate errs high, and it is shown before you start). A 90-minute film in four reels is four passes: about 4,200 to 8,920 credits by that estimate, before any notes.
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).
How to score a feature
- Export reel one (up to 25 minutes) from Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or anything else, with its dialogue and effects.
- Score it with your sound and a line of direction, and mark the moments it must hit.
- Give notes until it is right (revising from notes).
- Export the session and the files, then do the next reel with the same sound and direction.
Scoring a feature-length film, reel by reel
Feature film scoring with AI, scoring a 90-minute film, AI music for a full-length movie and a long-form film score ask one thing: can it score a whole feature. Today it does, reel by reel, up to 25 minutes a pass, and this page says what that means.
FAQ
Can AI score a feature-length film?
Reel by reel. Each reel of up to 25 minutes is scored as its own film, with up to eight cues a pass, and you join the reels in your editor or DAW. No feature has been scored end to end yet, and themes do not carry from one reel to the next.
How long a film can it score at once?
Up to 25 minutes per delivery and 2 GB per upload. On a long film each pass scores up to eight cues; ask for more afterwards.
How much does it cost to score a 90-minute film?
By the panel's estimate, 1,050 to 2,230 credits a reel, composer included, so about 4,200 to 8,920 for four reels before any notes. Pro is $12 a month with 2,000 credits.
Will the themes match from reel to reel?
Not yet. A theme comes back across the cues of one reel's score; the next reel's score starts from a new plan.
