Audiovisual Cue Sheet

In order to pay royalties to copyright owners when their music is performed in audiovisual productions like television programs or films, SOCAN must receive an audiovisual cue sheet listing all the music used in each production. Please take a moment to read our FAQ’s and find out what information should be included in a cue sheet, how SOCAN uses the cue sheet to pay you, who is responsible for submitting cue sheets to SOCAN, and more:  SOCAN Audiovisual Cue Sheet FAQs

Do you need to complete a SOCAN Audiovisual Cue Sheet? You must download and save the cue sheet to your local drive/desktop to enable functionality.

For the most accessible experience, use the Excel sheet instead of the Apple Numbers cue sheet (and if you are using a screen reader, use NVDA or JAWS).

Microsoft Excel Version / Apple Numbers Version

*SOCAN systems ingest Excel files. When using the Apple Numbers version, save your cue sheet, then select the FILE tab at the top, then select EXPORT TO and EXCEL. Please send the newly exported Excel file to SOCAN.

*Microsoft Excel version will work on macOS where Microsoft Office is installed.
