Raw Footage Retention Clause Generator

This is about raw footage retention — not gallery expiry. Your finished-film gallery expiring is a different thing. This tool writes the contract wording for how long you keep the original camera files, and what happens when that time runs out.

Fill in three fields. You get a retention clause, a delivery email and a pre-expiry email to send your client — free, no account.

Project type How long will you keep the raw footage? (months after final delivery) Extended-storage price (what you charge to keep it one more year) Your studio / name (optional, appears in the emails)

1. Retention clause (paste into your contract)

2. Deletion clause

3. Renewal / extension clause

4. Delivery email (send with the finished film)

5. Pre-expiry email (send 30 days before the retention period ends)

I'm building a small tool that tracks every project's retention deadline and emails you before it expires, so a renewal quote never gets missed. Leave your email and I'll invite you to try it first — no spam, one email when it's ready.

Not legal advice. Retention periods are governed by your contract — adjust the wording to match it, and have a local lawyer review it before relying on it. This tool stores nothing and deletes nothing; it only generates wording.
