No, you can transfer copyright by a pre-existing pro forma that doesn't
need to specify the exact work concerned, under either UK or US
copyright law.

However you can't do this for the moral rights under US law. _That_
needs to be a post facto signature (although not a hard copy, under
recent standards for "signature").
