Intelligent multi-project management and overview system
Whether you are working on 3 projects or 30, always know what is done and what is needed to be completed. No more wondering if the contracts were sent or if they were received. Set the deadlines for a project and you will be notified if something is not complete and the deadline is approaching. Easily filtered and sorted for consistent and reliable overview.
SCORE, the searchable composer registry, find composers and their representatives.
When you are looking for a composer, someone new, who fits your production needs, simply enter your search criteria and SCORE will find the best fits for you. You can see their work history, their showreel, decide on who might be suitable and contact them directly to discuss details. Save the best candidates for consideration. If they have an agent who represents them you will see all the contact information to make it easy to reach out.
Automated cue sheet generation
Cue sheets are automatically built, with all needed information, as placements are confirmed. Always one-click accessible when you need them. No more hours of building the cue sheet when the project is completed. You can easily export the cue sheet as a PDF or Excel file. Plus, the copyright holders listed on the cue sheet automatically receive a copy when the project is finished. No more receiving requests for cue sheets and wasting time sending them out.
Automated payment ledger generation
As recordings are placed the payment ledger is automatically built in the background listing all the needed information. With notifications of payments sent and payments received for easy finance overview. Project team members with access permission can easily export or email the payment ledger as a PDF or Excel file.
Full contract management system
Contract sending, negotiating, revising and completion are all managed through the contract management system. With clear overview of versions and signing stages, project contracts are easily managed with oversight clarity. Plus, you can choose to be notified of all negotiation communications, revisions, and signings, including dead-line warnings.
Automated budget balancing system with over/under notification
For each project when the overall music budget is added to the project information, the system will display a budget accounting so you can easily keep track of the budget spending including total music budget, assigned budget (the total amount that has been offered but music is not placed), confirmed music budget (the total value of all the license fees for music you have placed), and the remaining amount. This gives you an accurate and always displayed budget overview.
Automated notifications of license expiry dates
You can choose who on the project team receives the notification that the license is about to expire and you can choose how many days before it expires the notifications are sent. A great tool for reducing legal vulnerability.
Automated optional license rights execution dates notification
You choose who on the project team receives the notification that the optional license execution date is approaching and you can choose how many days prior to the execution date the notifications are sent. Never miss that deadline again.
Permission-controlled project team access
A project team networking system, delivering overview and control of the music element of your projects with secure correspondence with music supervisors, composers, and other members of your team. The project team admin chooses who is on the team and sets the permissions for the level of their access. Admin can change these permissions at any time, lock the user’s account, or delete it. You have control.
Permission-controlled company team access
Register your company with SyncLodge and all your team members can join as an employee of your company. Company admin accepts them as a company employee and sets the permissions of what they can access inside SyncLodge. Admin can change these permissions at any time, lock the user’s account, or delete it. You have control.
Creative, Professional Video and Audio synchronization system
Upload the video into the project, set the spot/cue ins and outs, select a song from the spot playlist for automatic audio/visual syncing. Easily switch between shortlisted songs and spots. Easily adjust start and end times of spots and songs, save and all info is saved as an exportable EDL. No need to format, or render, just press play or share it with project team members. Save as many EDLs as you like, for previous version recall. Any project team member with video permission can access, make changes, save a new EDL. Composers can try out early-stage ideas and easily share with team members without rendering and sharing a link. Adds security of assets as videos can only be uploaded and deleted, no downloading, no asset leaks.
Ultra secure storage and transfer system
With you in control of the detailed permission controls you can work assured that all sensitive files are only accessible by those you give permission to. No more sharing files with hopes that no one else has or will have access.
Private, secure contact and communication system.
Focus all your music licensing contacts and communications into one no-spam, private, and secure system.
