# Screening Studio

> Contributors send clips with their credits attached. You set the running
> order, and it plays as one reel on a page of your own — public, invite-only,
> or restricted to a network. For UK cinema screenings there is a licensing
> path that handles the council application.

## What it is for

- Collecting video from many people without any of them needing an account.
  One link, they record or upload, their credits ride with the clip.
- Curating: approve, reject, reorder, set deadlines and duration limits.
- Screening the result as a single reel on a branded page, watched together.
- Crediting everyone who contributed, on the page and in the closing titles.
- AI-tools disclosure on submissions, for programmes that track it.

## Things worth getting right

- Contributors never need an account. The host does.
- A screening is private unless its host makes it public.
- Data in the directories is sourced, not invented; attribution and
  licence notices are at https://screeningstudio.com/credits.
