For creative producers and designers who handle complex asset folders: learn to build a provenance record that tracks every license, model release, and generated pixel so you can prove permissions for every element.
What you will be able to do
- Log every asset source: Assign unique asset IDs and log the specific source, license, and consent status for every image and reference. You will use this in your production record to distinguish between licensed, consented, and unverified assets.
- Identify generated pixels: Categorize image elements as either photographed or 'hallucinated' pixels. You will apply this in your production records to differentiate between borrowing pixels via clone stamps and inventing pixels via generative fill.
- Implement Content Credentials: Use C2PA standards and metadata where available to track an asset's provenance. You will use these tools to verify image history and provide concrete evidence of a digital asset's origin for stakeholders.
- Standardize export metadata: Record the export size and format for every variant and link them directly to verified source versions. This prevents the delivery of stale assets and ensures every export is tied to a cleared source.
- Audit asset folders: Systematically scan folders to identify unreviewable sources and missing model releases. You will use this audit to flag gaps in the provenance record before the project reaches the final review stage.
- Enforce verification stops: Establish a system to block files that lack a verified source, ensuring guessed permissions are never treated as approval. You will manage an exception list to separate technical passes from permission passes.
