What video masters ship with a licensed title?

Two master sets per episode: subtitled delivery masters with burned-in English subtitles, ready to publish, and clean textless masters with no burned-in subtitles, logos or watermarks. Both are 9:16, 1080 x 1920, H.264/MP4, 24 fps, with the same edit, grade and loudness pipeline.

Is there a full M&E stem?

No. On request we supply, per episode, an isolated music/score track as 48 kHz stereo WAV plus a dialogue track that carries embedded ambience. A traditional dialogue-free M&E with isolated effects does not exist for these productions, and we say so before an agreement rather than at delivery.

How are files delivered?

Secure time-limited download links valid up to 7 days, in a fixed per-episode structure: episodes/NN.mp4 with matching NN.srt, clean/NN.mp4, covers/NN.jpg, timeline/, docs/ and manifest.json. The manifest carries measured per-file values so your team can validate the delivery against this spec automatically.

When do we get master files?

On execution of the per-title agreement. Before that there is a ladder: public channel links, then watermarked screeners on time-limited links, then watermarked sample masters and SRT once a term sheet is aligned. Unwatermarked masters are never sent before signature.

What rights documentation ships with a title?

Chain-of-title documentation naming Dawnwood Inc. as licensor, an AI production disclosure describing which elements are synthetic and which are human-authored, and per-episode edit provenance (edit-timeline renders plus per-segment EDL in CSV).

Delivery & technical spec — what ships with a licence

VIDEO

Two master sets, same frames.

Property	Value
aspect / resolution	9:16 native, 1080 × 1920 (vertical)
codec / container	H.264 / MP4
frame rate	24 fps
video bitrate	~2.6–4.7 Mbps VBR — per-file measured values ship in the manifest
subtitled masters	Burned-in English subtitles, ready to publish as-is
clean textless masters	No burned-in subtitles, logos or watermarks — same edit, grade and loudness pipeline. This is the set you localize from.

Episode packaging (25 × ~2.0–2.4 min, or 50 × ~55–78 s) is chosen by the licensee at agreement — see the slate.

AUDIO & SUBTITLES

Elements, and one honest gap.

Element	Value
full mix	Stereo, AAC 48 kHz on delivery masters, loudness-normalized through the delivery pipeline
score / music	Isolated music track per episode on request, 48 kHz stereo WAV — procedurally generated and owned by the licensor, so there is no third-party music clearance in the chain
dialogue	Dialogue track per episode on request, with embedded ambience
subtitles	Episode-matched English SRT, filename numbering identical to the video files
scripts	English dialogue scripts available per episode

LIMIT 1 · SAID UP FRONT

No full M&E stem

Score is isolated; effects are not. The dialogue element carries ambience with it. If your dubbing workflow requires a dialogue-free M&E with separated effects, that workflow won't work on this catalogue, and we'd rather you know now than at delivery. In practice licensees dub over the clean master using the isolated score for balance.

LIMIT 2 · SAID UP FRONT

No cut trailers or promos

Key art, titles, synopses and a series one-pager ship with the title; separate trailers and platform promos do not exist. The licence permits you to cut your own from the clean masters, which is what most platforms prefer anyway — house style beats ours on your surface.

THE PACKAGE

What lands in your bucket.

episodes/NN.mp4 + NN.srt — subtitled delivery masters, episode-matched subtitles
clean/NN.mp4 — clean textless masters
covers/NN.jpg — 3:4 key art, 1080 × 1440 (above the common 350 × 500 platform minimum)
timeline/NN.png + NN.edl.csv — edit-timeline render and machine-readable cut list, per episode
docs/ — chain-of-title · AI production disclosure · series one-pager
manifest.json — measured per-file duration, resolution, bitrate, subtitle cue count
README

Isolated audio elements (score WAV and the dialogue/ambience track) are supplied per episode alongside the package on request — they are not part of the default folder build. Delivered as secure, time-limited download links (up to 7 days). The manifest is the acceptance instrument: your team validates the delivery against it automatically rather than spot-checking files by hand. Defects found on acceptance are cured on a committed clock written into the agreement.

RIGHTS DOCUMENTATION

Diligence you can actually check.

Licensor of record: Dawnwood Inc., a Delaware corporation. Every title is produced in-house: no third-party footage, no stock, no licensed music embedded. Chain-of-title documentation and an AI production disclosure — which elements are synthetic (imagery, motion, voice) and which are human-authored (story, script, edit, QC) — ship with every delivery, alongside per-episode edit provenance. Platforms with an AI-content policy get the disclosure they need to classify the title correctly on arrival, rather than discovering it later.

HOW YOU GET FILES

A ladder, not a leap.

Each rung is earned by the previous one. This is why a first email doesn't come back with master files attached — and it's the same ladder for everyone, so nobody has to negotiate for it.

Public channels

Screen the format, the hooks and the audience response on our own channels. No permission needed, nothing to sign, available right now.

Watermarked screeners

Specific episodes on time-limited signed links, once we know who you are and what platform you're building. This is what the intake form unlocks.

Sample masters + SRT

Watermarked sample masters and episode-matched SRT for real technical validation, once a term sheet is aligned. Enough to prove the pipeline end to end.

Full package

Unwatermarked masters and the complete asset package, on execution of the per-title agreement. Never before signature — for any licensee.
