The Challenge
Archive footage earns nothing because nobody can find it and nobody knows what is clear to sell. Catalogue metadata stopped at title level and the rights paperwork was never linked to the asset.
How It Works
- Reads archive video and audio, catalogue metadata, shot lists and rights paperwork.
- Transcribes, tags people, places and marks, and links each segment to its rights.
- Returns a searchable clip list with clearance status and price band to the licensing desk.
What It Removes
- Librarian searches through tape logs and shot lists
- Rights checks repeated for every clip enquiry
- Declining licensing requests for lack of time
Input Data RequirementsArchive video and audio masters, catalogue metadata and shot lists, rights and talent agreements, prior licensing sales records
Output FormatSearchable clip-level archive index with clearance status, suggested price band and a monthly sellable-asset list
“We turn down licensing enquiries every week because finding the clip and clearing it costs more than the fee.”
