Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help video editors?

Happ helps video editors manage contracts, payments, and collaborations in one place - with tools to cap edit rounds, retain project file ownership, define export specs, and structure milestone payments across the edit pipeline.

How do I stop revision rounds from becoming endless?

Define your edit pipeline - offline, fine cut, final - as three documented rounds. Additional rounds are billed at your hourly rate.

Should I hand over project files?

Project files are production assets. Your agreement specifies exported finals are the deliverable; project files are available as a separate licensed purchase.

How do I get paid throughout a long editing project?

Structure milestones around edit stages: first assembly, rough cut, fine cut, final export. Each milestone triggers a payment.

Can I keep ownership of the creative systems I develop?

Yes. IP terms in your agreement specify that design systems, frameworks, and methodologies you develop remain your intellectual property unless explicitly transferred.

How do I get paid throughout a long project instead of waiting until the end?

Structure milestone payments around your workflow - concept approval, first draft, revisions, and final delivery. You collect at each stage instead of waiting until the end.

What if a Collaborator uses my work in markets or formats I didn't agree to?

Usage rights in your agreement define exactly where and in what format your work can appear. Merchandise, international markets, and format adaptations each require a separate licensing agreement.
