Transfer
The approved intake method and accepted review-media specification.
Unreleased media
Security is agreed before footage moves.
A logo or badge cannot approve a vendor for every production. Before BestTranscript accepts unreleased media, the production and service team agree the transfer route, access list, retention period, deletion point and whether automation is permitted.
Pre-upload checklist
Five answers in writing.
Access
Who can receive, assign, review and return the production files.
Retention
How long source media, working files and completed transcripts remain available.
Deletion
The agreed deletion trigger and confirmation path after delivery.
Automation
Whether AI processing is allowed and which service tier is being purchased.
Production requirements
NDA, territory, named-user, insurance or vendor-assessment requirements are reviewed before acceptance.
Procurement truth
Assessment is not universal approval.
Content owners make their own risk decisions. BestTranscript will provide the information a production needs to assess the proposed workflow, but will not describe a registry, assessment or internal policy as blanket studio approval.
If your production has a formal security questionnaire, attach it to the pilot enquiry before sending media.
Production pilot
Scope security and service together.
Tell us the content owner, production requirements, transfer constraints and desired deletion schedule before upload.
