Video Production Contract Template

Free video production contract covering scope, payment, rights, revisions and cancellation. Protect the project without scaring the client.

A video production contract should do two things at once: set expectations clearly, and give both sides a path when something changes.

This template focuses on the issues that actually come up in commercial video work: scope, payment, revisions, ownership, and cancellation. Not legal advice; have a lawyer review before signing.

What is inside

• Scope of work and deliverables
• Timeline, milestones and dependencies
• Payment schedule and late-payment terms
• Revision rounds and change-request process
• Ownership, licensing and credit
• Cancellation, force majeure and dispute resolution

How to use it

1. Mirror the scope language from your proposal so the two documents match.
2. Tie payment milestones to deliverables, not calendar dates only.
3. Specify the number of revision rounds included and the hourly rate beyond that.
4. Clarify ownership: usually transferred on final payment.
