Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help videographers?

Happ helps videographers manage contracts, payments, and collaborations in one place - with tools to list every deliverable as a clear line item, cap edit rounds, retain raw footage ownership, and align payments with their production pipeline.

How do I handle requests for additional video formats after delivery?

Your agreement lists every deliverable by format, duration, and specification. Additional formats are new scope - quoted as separate line items.

Should I hand over raw footage when a Collaborator asks?

Raw footage is a production asset, not a deliverable. Your agreement specifies camera originals are retained and available as a separate licensed purchase.

How do I prevent edit rounds from expanding indefinitely?

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

Can I get paid before the shoot day?

Yes. Your first milestone is a non-refundable deposit due on signing. The shoot isn't confirmed until it's paid. You're protected before you pack a single bag.

What happens if a shoot gets cancelled last minute?

Your agreement includes a tiered kill fee. Full rate if cancelled within 48 hours. Fifty percent within 7 days. You define the windows. Last-minute cancellations come with compensation.

How does Happ keep track of all my Collaborators and projects?

Every Collaborator - brands, agencies, art directors, producers - is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history. No more scattered threads and lost invoices.
