Aloha,
This listing does not say how long of a cue they are looking for.
1 min? 2 min? etc

Hi Charles,
It's easy: the first reference is 2:38. The second reference is 3:16, and the third reference is 2:52.
So that's a range of about 2.5 to 3 minutes, which fits in the sync/library world of tracks nicely.
If I'm expanding that range, I wouldn't go any shorter than 90 seconds, and certainly not any longer than 3.5 minutes.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Just to be sure, I wouldn't go less than 2 minutes. When cue length is not specified, 2 minutes minimum is usually a good assumption. 2-3 minutes is probably the sweet spot area. JHMO YMMV
(Sorry to contradict you, Marc!)

No worries Casey. You're absolutely right.. I was thinking more generally in sync/library with stuff like tension cues. But for something this, I totally agree that no shorter than 2 minutes is best.

Mahalo, gentlemen.
I will shoot for 2-3 min unless the listing gets revised with specifics.
