Cinegy Desktop provides copyright management for all the ingested video materials. Every clip can hold information about related copyright issues. You can mark a master clip as copyrighted, simply by choosing an appropriate copyright level in the "Predefined" tab of the table view, with the "Rights indicator" field.

A corresponding colored copyright mark will be displayed on the master clip thumbnail.

Set for a master clip copyright permissions are propagated to the related clip. Further work with such a clip (editing effects, export in a Sequence, etc.) may be limited depending on the type of rights assigned to this master clip.

Rights Types

The "strict rights" icon indicates that the use of this material is affected by strict rights issues. The use of such material should always be discussed with the respective owner.
