A.R.T. for Requesters

Obtaining consent from performers to make substantial changes to their performances is necessary in certain circumstances. Here's the process to follow.

Who is the Requester

The DeepEditor Requester is the end user, who is making or initiating the request for consent at the vub level.  

Confirm the Project Type

Localisation vs. Editorial

When you first creates a project in DeepEditor, you will be prompted to choose the Project Type.

Localisation 

If your project includes a legal "Dubbing Agreement" or comprehensive consent from the talent (or an authorized representative of their estate or interests) for facial modifications, select the "Localisation" Project Type.

Selecting "Localisation" means you can bypass the Artistic Rights Treasury consent workflow.

We trust our customers to act in good faith regarding the legal implications of opting to bypass the Artistic Rights Treasury consent workflow.

Editorial

If your intended use of DeepEditor is to alter performances, select the "Editing" project type.

You will then be prompted to input the email address of your Rights Clearance Manager.

Entering "Rights Clearance Manager" Email Information

Step 1: Confirm who will be the Rights Clearance Manager.

Before commencing any work, it must be determined who will provide consent for performance alterations using DeepEditor.

Step 2: Enter contact information into the DeepEditor system.

In DeepEditor, select "Create Project," and a new window will appear. You will be asked to enter a name for your project and provide the email address of your designated "Rights Clearance Manager."

The Rights Clearance Manager will not be notified yet, see more information about when they are notified explained below.

If you do not need consent or a Rights Clearance Manager, enter your own email address. 

 

Step 3: Confirm the email and click "Create".

Though this workflow is largely based on the honor system and Flawless is not liable for content created with DeepEditor, our company is committed to ethical creativity. We will be able to track who and how users are untrustworthy. 

Requesting Consent

Step 1: Navigate to Project > Shot > Exports. The Exports tab will look something like this. 

Notice the “Consent” column for the “Draft” quality vub says n/a. This is because Draft vubs can not be exported without a watermark. Requesting consent is only necessary when you want to download a vub file without a watermark. 

The “Consent” column for the “Standard” quality vub reads “Request not sent”. 

Step 2: To request consent hit: 

Step 3: This window will open: 

Step 4: Click “Request Permission” to send the Rights Clearance Manager an email. 

Step 5: The Rights Clearance Manager and Consenter will be able to review the request and vub, and then get back to you. 

While in the hands of the Rights Clearance Manager, the consent status of your vub on the Exports page will look like this:
