Student work deserves a real record. Students register work the moment it's created, sign real contracts, and split royalties across the whole crew — then graduate with a verifiable creative CV that keeps paying after the .edu address expires.
A record that opens doors. Used well, a Mix-IP portfolio is a direct line into the creative industry — on a film crew, as a creative director at an agency, or as an IP and media-licensing specialist. The proof travels with the graduate.
Scripts on a shared drive. Footage on borrowed licenses. Credits in the end-card and nowhere else.
Mix-IP puts the whole program on one record — every work registered at creation, every contract real, every contributor credited and paid — so rights literacy is something students do, not something they memorize for the exam.
Follow “Undertow,” a 12-minute thesis short, from first draft to first royalty. A student directs, another shoots, a third cuts, and eleven more crew it — runners included. Every step below is the same record professionals use, cross-linked to the feature page that does the work.
A student saves draft one of “Undertow” and it's already on the record — timestamped, attributed to them, before anyone else touches it. The rewrites that follow keep the trail: who changed what, when, with a chain of custody that starts at the idea, not at the export.
Step 01 · Write & register
Fourteen students crew the short, and every one signs a real collaboration agreement and takes a real share of the royalty pool — from director to runner, a visiting mentor included. It's the rights class no lecture can teach.
Step 02 · Crew up
Three shoot days on a borrowed campus soundstage. Every clip lands with provenance attached — who shot it, which day, which scene — and the cinematographer's credit accrues take by take, even when four crews share one camera package. And when the class gathers live — a remote guest critique, a thesis review panel, a multi-cam stream of the campus screening — they run it through Live Studio, and the session records to the same record as the coursework.
Step 03 · Shoot
“Undertow” goes out — to the showcase jury, to festival programmers, to a producer the mentor knows. Every screener is a gated share with a per-recipient forensic watermark, and every view is on the record.
Step 04 · Screen & submit
The short places at a festival and a small licensing deal follows. The contract auto-fills from the rights record, and the splits engine routes every share — the director's, the cinematographer's, the editor's, the runners', the mentor's — so the credit and the money arrive together, and nobody chases anybody.
Step 05 · Award, license & pay
Graduation wipes most of what a student made — campus drives close, licenses lapse, portals archive. What survives on Mix-IP is the part that matters: a registered portfolio, a chain of custody, a payment history, and every credit.
Deans and program directors are measured on what graduates can show for four years. Mix-IP makes that measurable — work that's verifiable, credited, and paid.
Graduate outcomes you can point to
Students leave with verifiable, credited, paid work — the strongest line on an early CV, and a placement story your careers office can stand behind.
A program that stands out
Rights literacy taught in the product, not the lecture — a reason applicants, funders, and industry partners choose your program over the one next door.
Alumni work that lasts
Every cohort's work stays registered and verifiable after graduation — the program's reputation compounds with its alumni instead of expiring with their logins.
A film needs a crew — and a lawyer, an accountant, a producer, an exec, sometimes an investor. Mix-IP puts them on one record and makes the hard part simple: contracts, releases, splits, and rights records handled in the product, AI-assisted — no legal retainer, no admin crew. Creatives stay creative while the legal and administrative work runs itself. This is the ecosystem your graduates enter — and the record makes them legible to all of it.
Producers & execs
Greenlight, schedule, and settle against one record — who did what, who's owed what, in one place.
Agency & brand creatives
Direct the work and carry the rights record with it — from concept to delivered, licensed campaign.
IP & media lawyers
Provenance, contracts, and splits already structured — verifiable proof instead of a folder of loose PDFs.
Production & admin
Releases, call sheets, and paperwork generated and tracked in the product — the chasing disappears.
Accountants & finance
Every split and settlement carries a verifiable receipt — the numbers reconcile themselves.
Investors & VCs
Rights, splits, and returns visible on one record — diligence on a slate without the reconstruction.
Film, journalism, and music — the same rails carry any program where students make work that deserves a record.
Fourteen shorts, one senior year
Every short leaves for the festival circuit with its rights record and releases attached — and every crew member’s credit on their own CV.
Field reporting with provenance
Graduates walk into newsroom interviews with verifiable, provenance-backed published work — proof of authorship a standards desk can check itself.
Eight tracks, thirty-one shares
Performers, engineers, and the cover artist all hold shares. When a track licenses, the splits engine pays the whole credit list — automatically.
All three are illustrative composites — program scenarios, not named customers.
Program directors answer to registrars, counsel, and IT. Every rights record is built to be verified independently — so checking a student's work never depends on trusting us.
Timestamped at creation Live
Every record is stamped the moment work is created — proof of when, recognized by the institutions that need it.
Independently verifiable Live
Every record carries independent proof of when it was made and by whom — checkable without taking our word for it.
Portable proof Live
The rights record and content credentials travel with the file itself — portable proof in open formats, not locked to our platform.
Public verification Live
Anyone can check a record on the public verification page — no account, no login. Juries, festivals, and future employers included.
