Watermarking & Secure Playback

Review playback

Dailies and client review use proxied media with visible watermarks tied to the reviewer identity.

Draw-on-frame

Reviewers can annotate frames in the player; artists see notes on the matching frame.

Overview

Review links use watermarked proxies - studio tier vs forensic options.

Steps

1. Submit from DCC with correct show/seq/shot context.
2. Supervisor clears the Review Queue with approve/retake notes.
3. Build a Dailies Session or Playlist for screening.
4. Share client links only after internal approval when required.

Gotchas

• Retake notes should reference the exact file/version when possible.
• Client links may expire - regenerate rather than resharing old URLs.
