Source Footage and Asset Provenance Intake (Onboarding)

Source Footage and Asset Provenance Intake (Onboarding)

1. 01

   Inventory every asset the client hands over before a single generation runs

   Log raw camera files, existing brand footage, licensed stock, product photography, and any prior avatar recordings in one sheet with file size, resolution, and date captured.

2. 02

   Confirm written usage rights for each asset category

   Stock licenses, music beds, and talent releases expire or exclude commercial use; a missing release on a single clip can force a re-render of an entire campaign set.

3. 03

   Flag any asset containing a recognizable face, voice, or trademark

   These require separate clearance before they enter an avatar or dubbing pipeline, and the flag should carry the client contact who approved it.

4. 04

   Record the client's data-handling position on uploaded media

   Ask directly whether raw footage may sit in a third-party cloud render queue, and note the answer per account so delivery teams do not re-litigate it mid-campaign.

5. 05

   Set a canonical brand kit before template work begins

   Lock fonts, hex codes, logo lockups, lower-third rules, and voice tone in one reference file that every generator project inherits.

6. 06

   Name the single approver for source-asset disputes

   When a client sends conflicting footage versions, one named person resolves it; shared inboxes stall renders for days.

7. 07

   Store the intake sheet where the delivery team can reach it without asking

   Attach it to the project record, not a personal drive, so a render operator picking up the account cold has provenance in under two minutes.
