Archive Music and Footage Permissions with the Project

Keep rights records beside the delivery manifest so future reuse can be evaluated.

The practical answer

Keep rights records beside the delivery manifest so future reuse can be evaluated. A saved video does not carry all the permission information required for a new campaign.

A client asks to reuse an old commercial in a new territory. The editor must check music, stock footage and talent permissions before quoting the change.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Record the licensed assets used in the final

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    Save permitted-use details and expiry dates

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Review new requests against those records

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

Attach an asset register to the final delivery: music track, stock clip, license reference and permitted use. When a new request arrives, compare its territory, channel and dates with that register before promising reuse.

Where uncompressed.io fits

uncompressed.io paid plans include cold capacity. Archived films must be restored to available hot space before playback or review; transfer time varies. Plan capacity for active work and restores together, and check the current pricing and archive terms.
