Usage Rights and Purposes at a Glance
Model Release Management
A model release records the usage conditions agreed with a person shown in an image, such as purposes, media and time periods. AdmiralCloud lets you link that document directly to the associated assets, keeping the agreement where your team plans the next use. Copyright in the photograph and the depicted person’s rights need separate consideration.
Understand usage conditions
In a digital asset management system (DAM), metadata can be used to assign additional information to media. This is how you record an image’s photographer, source or creator.
Linking assets to contract documents makes it easier to see which image belongs to which agreement. Before publication, check whether the recorded conditions cover the intended territory, time period and purpose. Linking a document does not itself grant usage rights.
Connecting Media Assets to Contract Documents
Link assets directly to model releases, property releases, assignments of rights or stock photo agreements. Your team can then find the associated records and check the agreed usage conditions.
Keeping a record is distinct from controlling publication. Following a withdrawal, review the affected media and manually trigger depublishing with one click. Changing a contract document is not that manual publishing action.
