Title placeholders

A title placeholder is an asset a title is owed: its key art, a title treatment, a trailer. It belongs to the title and stays with it. Title placeholders live in your organisation's Library project, on the title's Library copy, so every deal that later carries the title can draw on them.

Where it lives

A title's sheet in Titles, Assets tab, Placeholders: the title's own assets still to come. The files the title already holds are listed beneath, under Files.

Placeholders go on the film or the show. A season or an episode takes none of its own. An acquired title takes none either: its placeholders belong to its deals.

Add one by hand

1. Open the title and go to Assets.
2. Press Add placeholder.
3. Choose its Kind. Key art is chosen to start with.
4. For an image, choose an Image template, or leave No template.
5. Give it a Name, such as "Key art, portrait". Left empty, it takes the template's or the kind's name.
6. Set a Due date if it has one.
7. Press Add.

Add them from the template sets

1. On Assets, press Use template sets.
2. Final Frame counts what the sets that match this title would add, and asks: Add N placeholders from the template sets?
3. Press Add them.

When nothing is owed, it says so: no template set applies to the title, or every placeholder its sets name is already there. A placeholder is never added twice, and one you deleted by hand stays deleted. See Template sets and rules.

Fill one

Open a waiting placeholder to fill it. It opens the same placeholder dialog a deal uses, where you add its file. Each placeholder shows its status and, when it came from a template set, the set's name.

When a file lands:

• If a review chain applies, the file enters review. See Review chains.
• If none applies, the file is filed as it arrives.

Open a filled placeholder to see its review, its family and its usage rights.

Permissions

Rights

A title placeholder's file carries the usage rights set on it or on its family. Those rights follow the file everywhere it is used: on a deal, in the brand portal, through a share link. See Asset families and usage rights.
