Video Editor agreement template -- by New Media Arts
New Media Arts has prepared some templates that we use to record formal agreements between New Media Arts and skilled contractors that we pay to perform certain services in support of our projects.  From time to time we will publish some of these as templates so that others may use them in making similar agreements.  We believe that we have covered every item that needs to be covered in connection with each particular service, but we make no warranty of any kind.  Users are encouraged to get legal advice for matters that involve substantial amounts of money.
