Rights management

- [Amy] Rights management is a big part…of the hand-off between production and post.…And what I mean by that is, as content producers,…we're creating content that we…want to protect the rights of,…maybe it belongs to us or it belongs to our clients,…but we also have to think about the rights…of all the material that we're acquiring.…That might include music, that might include…talent that's on camera, that might include…copyrighted works that are in the background,…like a sculpture or a painting,…all of those are components that…the producer needs to think about,…and in the hand-off, we need to be…really clear about where those rights are,…the fact that we cleared them,…or that there's something that has to be cut around,…otherwise, the editor's not going to have that information.…

- [Luisa] That's right, Amy, and I, as an editor,…assume that if I'm handed footage…that all of the rights have been cleared for this.…However, I have encountered one or two instances…in which we weren't quite clear on what…the right acquisition was for that particular shot.…
