Portfolio Videos with Licensed Music: Keep a Publication Record
Check that the music permission covers the portfolio publication you intend.

The practical answer
Check that the music permission covers the portfolio publication you intend. A client's campaign license may not cover an editor's public reel.
A commercial uses a track cleared for a short paid campaign. The editor wants the whole spot on a public portfolio after the campaign ends.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Find the relevant license or written permission
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Confirm portfolio use and any time limits
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Publish an approved alternative if rights are unclear
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Keep the track name, license document and approved portfolio use with the published film. If permission covers only the client's channels, request portfolio permission or prepare an authorized alternative before making your reel public.

Your project worksheet
Track, license holder, permitted use, expiry, written approval, published version.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where uncompressed.io fits
uncompressed.io provides hosted films and embeds without platform ads or a recommendation feed. The website still controls its layout, surrounding text and inquiry flow. Test the published embed rather than assuming the hosting dashboard represents the finished portfolio.
