Why this matters
Write down where, how long and in which markets the video, music, footage and performances may be used.
Confirm talent releases, location permissions, music licences, stock terms, media channels, territory, duration and paid advertising rights before release.
Action plan
Confirm talent releases, location permissions, music licences, stock terms, media channels, territory, duration and paid advertising rights before release.
- Where will the video be used? Write the answer in the brief and connect it to this outcome: Confirm talent releases, location permissions, music licences, stock terms, media channels, territory, duration and paid advertising rights before release.
- How long must the rights last? Check the answer against this practical situation: A track licensed for organic social use may not cover paid advertising. The team must check the licence instead of assuming every online use is included.
- Who stores signed releases and licences? Name the owner, the evidence they must keep and the date when the decision will be reviewed.
| Step | Decision question | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Where will the video be used? | Confirm talent releases, location permissions, music licences, stock terms, media channels, territory, duration and paid advertising rights before release. |
| 2 | How long must the rights last? | A track licensed for organic social use may not cover paid advertising. The team must check the licence instead of assuming every online use is included. |
| 3 | Who stores signed releases and licences? | Named owner, source record and review date |
Worked example

Checks before you commit resources
- Where will the video be used?
- How long must the rights last?
- Who stores signed releases and licences?
- Who will take the next action on production planning?
- For Video Usage Rights: What Indian Brands Should Confirm, what result will show that the plan worked?
Confirm talent releases, location permissions, music licences, stock terms, media channels, territory, duration and paid advertising rights before release.
Mistakes to avoid
- Starting work before answering: Where will the video be used?
- Relying on an assumption instead of checking: How long must the rights last?
- Launching without a clear answer to: Who stores signed releases and licences?

The short version
- Choose the audience and one message before the shoot.
- Plan every final version, approval and usage right early.
- Measure the action the video should create, not only views.
Meet Lata. Lata runs a home bakery in Nashik. The team made a good-looking video, but nobody decided where it would be shown or what viewers should do next. Lata now starts with the audience, one message and one useful next step.
This is a made-up example to explain the idea. It is not a client result.
