Rights, Releases & Clearance Tracker
Track talent, locations, music, archive, artwork, brands, permits and supporting rights evidence through production and delivery.
What Is the Rights, Releases & Clearance Tracker?
The Rights, Releases & Clearance Tracker is a typed production binder for appearance releases, locations, compositions, sound recordings, archive, stills, artwork, literary material, brands, stock and permits. Each row records the source or owner, intended use, media, territory, term, fee, credit, restrictions, document evidence, risk, assignee and deadline.
How It Works
Add one record for each person, place or protected asset, then enter the exact rights requested and the evidence received. Filter blockers, expiring terms, missing evidence, missing credits or required metadata gaps. Export a complete-record or limited-redaction PDF, CSV, XLSX, ICS or JSON handoff after legal review.
When to Use It
Use it from development through wrap and final delivery to keep clearance work visible to producers, coordinators, post teams and counsel. It tracks information only; it does not draft a valid release, provide legal advice, prove ownership, create an e-signature or establish that a use is cleared.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does A Cleared Status Prove We Can Use The Asset?
- No. Status reflects the production's own record. Qualified counsel and the actual signed agreement, license, law and distribution requirements determine whether a use is permitted.
- Can It Track Music Composition And Master Rights Separately?
- Yes. Composition and sound recording are distinct record types so their owners, terms, fees, credits and evidence do not get collapsed.
