Digital video consent
If you’re searching for digital video consent, you usually need a calm closure per production — not more files.
As Living Consent, this is a shared approval: one shared state + history, visible to both sides.
Video shoots are often on-set situations with multiple people: crew, clients, participants, passers-by. Approvals happen verbally or via a short message, PDFs get passed around before or after the shoot. And later you wonder: what belongs to which production — and who was intended for what?
With video, a lot of material is created at once. It’s not always clear who is visible in what form and how the footage will be used later. A signed document often exists. What remains unclear is when, and in which context, consent was actually closed.
This is where a release helps not only as a file, but as part of a traceable occasion — including a closing moment.
You work per production as one occasion, share consent via link or QR, and collect approvals as an interim state.
Then you finalize only what’s relevant.
LegitForm separates collecting from closing.
- Create an occasion per production.
- Share consent via link/QR.
- Approvals arrive (interim state).
- Finalize relevant approvals deliberately.
- Proof is created: PDF + protocol (timestamped).
That’s how you can prove video consent later without manually searching through folders/versions.
- Clear mapping per production — approvals belong to the occasion, not to folders.
- No chaos with many people: state and context remain traceable per person.
- Proof only when needed: finalize when you actually need closure.
- Structured closing instead of “let’s collect everything”.
This flow isn’t only useful for video productions, but also for photography shoots and TFP agreements — and anywhere people are part of media content (e.g. social media, events, agencies).

When do I need consent for video recordings?
In practice whenever people are recognizable as part of a video recording and you want to use the material. Especially in productions with multiple participants, it helps to map consent per occasion and document the scope clearly. That way it remains traceable later what was intended for what.
Is a signed PDF enough?
A signed PDF can work as a document. What often becomes unclear later: in which context it was created, which version applies, and what exactly the intended usage was. LegitForm makes the flow visible per occasion and creates exportable proof only when you finalize (PDF + protocol).
When is proof created in LegitForm?
Only when you finalize. Before that, consent is stored as an interim state for the occasion and is not exportable yet. When you finalize, PDF + protocol with timestamp are created and proof becomes exportable.
Do I need to finalize every approval?
No. You collect approvals for the occasion and finalize only the relevant ones — when you actually need closure and exportable proof. That way you pay only when needed and stay in control.
Can I use LegitForm for photos as well?
Yes. The principle “occasion → received → finalize → proof” fits photography shoots just as well. You can use LegitForm independent of the medium — what matters is the clear closing moment when proof is needed.
