Who is it for?

You can get started if any of these describe your business.

OTT · FAST channels

Source verified short-form IP for programming through an API. Fill your lineup quickly without avoidable rights risk, receiving only titles cleared for the relevant territory and term.

Short-drama · webtoon apps

Connect catalog discovery, protected playback, event tracking, and settlement once. Open a personalized hosted webview for each viewer instead of building a player or exposing source files.

AI data buyers

License video data lawfully, with training, generation, and resale permissions stated title by title.

Global distributors

Redistribute safely by territory using a catalog with normalized regional and language rights.

What can you license?

Start with the content and rights you receive, not the platform.

CONTENT

Episodic short dramas and AI video produced, selected, and reviewed by NewUnivers, plus posters, trailers, and subtitle assets

GENRES

Martial-arts action, fantasy romance, episodic confession, mystery chase, romantic fantasy action, and more

LANGUAGES · SUBTITLES

Subtitle and dubbing languages are separated by title, with the Korean original identified

RIGHTS DIMENSIONS

Territory, term, exclusivity, resale, download, edit, and AI training or generation rights are explicit fields

Only licensable titles are exposed. Internal pricing, revenue shares, and original prompts remain private.

Review the content and its rights together

Partners need scenes, episode context, and rights status—not an abstract pitch. Reviewed previews and thumbnails help determine where and how each title can be played and reconciled.

01EP006 Secret Corridor preview

A reviewed vertical preview shows the scene in a format close to the real mobile viewing experience.

02Title cards and episode context

Title, genre, and episode context for Sword God, Monster Princess Secret, and EP009 Confession help reviewers understand each asset quickly.

03Rights status and permitted uses

Country, language, term, exclusivity, resale, download, and editing permissions are structured as title-level fields.

04Protected playback after contracting

Short-lived signed HLS or DASH URLs replace source-file URLs, and playback events feed the settlement ledger.

Short-form video is separated into rights units

Review source video, thumbnails, subtitles, dubbing, and data-use rights independently before contracting. Operators use risk flags and required documents to control catalog visibility.

Sungkyunkwan Infiltration

A reviewed title thumbnail illustrates a rights package. Source video, thumbnails, subtitles and dubbing, and data-use rights are reviewed separately.

Territory

Separate permitted countries such as US, KR, and JP.

Language

Manage original-language, subtitle, and dubbing rights as separate fields.

Usage

Distinguish streaming, download, editing, and AI training or generation permissions.

Risk

Missing required documents or exclusivity conflicts block catalog and license requests.

Frequently asked questions

Are exclusive licenses available?

Exclusive and non-exclusive terms can both be discussed by title and territory. Include your target territories and genres in the application.

Is there a minimum contract size?

You can begin with a small pilot. Validate the integration in Sandbox first, then scale it.

How are settlements calculated?

Monthly item-level ledgers are built from playback and payment events, with a dispute process for individual entries.

What rights apply to AI video?

Training, generation, and resale permissions are stated per title, so a license covers only approved uses.

Is Sandbox free?

Yes. Test the catalog, protected playback, and event collection without real charges. Real financial statements are available only with Production keys.

Can each viewer receive a different playback experience?

Yes. Send non-PII preferences such as language, genre, default subtitles or audio, autoplay, and maturity rating to receive a personalized hosted webview. Raw PII such as email cannot be sent; preferences are retained with the session for analytics.

Can it be used internationally?

Rights are normalized by territory, so only titles licensable in the requested region are exposed and played.
