A recognizable package can become a clearance question long after the set is struck.
Flagged in scene context; registry source attached.
Screenplay clearance · Open source · Self-hosted
Clear the script before it becomes a production problem.
ClearCut finds brands, people, places, music, and other clearance concerns; brings flagged passages together with retained source evidence; and keeps the team’s final call attached to the exact line. Open source and self-hosted — your scripts and evidence never leave your servers.

Demo it with the fictional feature Borrowed Light. Self-hosted, so your scripts and evidence stay on your own instance. See the ten clearance categories.
FADE IN:
INT. VELEZ CAMERA SHOP — DUSK
Dust hangs in the last bar of window light.
She lifts the from a glass case.
A faded watches from the wall.

One connected record
Nothing important gets separated from the line that raised it.
- 01 · Passage
- The exact words and scene context.
- 02 · Evidence
- Authority, retrieval date, and conflicts.
- 03 · Decision
- Who made the call, when, and why.
The problem
Small things sink films.
Not the volcano stunt. A can on a desk. A song on a radio. A name in one scene. They surface after the shoot, when fixing them costs the most.
One cue can involve both the recording and the composition, with different owners and terms.
Publisher and recording-owner checks kept together.
A close real-world match needs a documented review before the portrayal travels any further.
Public-record checks and the team’s decision recorded.
How it works
Six steps from script to clearance report.
The workflow stays simple for the team while preserving the details a later review needs.
-
Import
Paste or upload Fountain, FDX, or PDF. ClearCut creates an immutable, versioned snapshot the workflow never overwrites.
-
Detect
ClearCut reads scene by scene across ten clearance categories: brands, people, places, music, quotes, names, privacy, products, insignia, and artwork.
-
Research
Parallel retrieves current sources with authority tiers, retrieval timestamps, and provenance. Conflicts are shown, not hidden.
-
Decide
Your team verifies, rewrites, or refers. Every call is recorded with a name, the script version, and a reason.
-
Revise
Upload a new draft and ClearCut diffs it passage by passage, carrying unaffected evidence forward and re-checking only what changed.
-
Report
A version-bound clearance report packages the passages, evidence, and decisions as deterministic HTML for lawyers, insurers, and distributors.
How it’s built
Gemini reads the script. Parallel finds the sources. The record stays yours.
Detection runs on Gemini and source research runs on Parallel Search with bounded Extract. Providers are disabled until an operator enables them with an explicit cost acknowledgement, and a missing or failing provider always becomes visible review work rather than invented evidence.
FADE OUT.
Tape the pages before the shoot, not after.
Walk through a complete fictional production — or deploy your own instance.
