How to share screeners without losing control

Every screener you send is an act of trust. ONE gives you a different tool for each kind of share, from one password-protected video to a personal page that expires, so you never have to choose between easy for the buyer and safe for you.

In this guide

  1. Give each buyer a page of their own
  2. Lock a single video with a password
  3. Know whose copy it is
  4. Share lists with the people who are logged in

Before and after

The usual way, and the ONE way

Flip the switch to see what changes.

Sending one episode

Link and password together

Both in the same email, valid forever.

A private link that expires

Private Video Access creates a unique URL with its own password and expiry date. Send them separately.

A new contact, a full slate

Register first, please

Many buyers give up at the login screen.

No login, still controlled

Anonymous Access gives that buyer a personal page with no login, a view limit and an expiry date.

A buyer needs the file

WeTransfer and hope

No idea where it goes next.

Watermarked to them

Downloads are re-encoded with the buyer’s email and user ID, and the link expires after 7 days.

A link gets forwarded

Anyone can watch

Indefinitely, with no record.

Contained

Logged-in links ask the next person to sign in. Expiring links stop on schedule.

How it works

Four moves

01

Give each buyer a page of their own

Anonymous Access sends a unique link to a personal landing page with just the content you chose. Set an expiry date and a view limit, and if they try to browse beyond what you shared they are asked to log in.

02

Lock a single video with a password

Private Video Access generates a unique URL and password with an expiry date. You can see every link you have issued and when each one expires.

Know whose copy it is

With watermarking on, website downloads carry the buyer’s email and user ID, and the link expires after 7 days. One-time download links expire as soon as they are used.

Share lists with the people who are logged in

List Share emails a selection of programmes. Logged-in buyers see what their permissions allow, and anyone else is asked to log in or sees the public view.

Questions we get asked

Before you ask

Do buyers always need an account?

No. Registered buyers sign in as normal, but Anonymous Access and Private Video Access let you share without asking them to create an account.

Can an Anonymous Access link be forwarded?

It could work until it reaches its view limit or expiry date. For sensitive titles, set a view limit of 1 and a short expiry.

Can I see whether they watched it?

Yes. Reporting shows who viewed each video and for how long, and List Reporting shows activity on the lists you share.

See it working on your own catalogue

Book a demo and we will show you this with your own titles, or request a brochure to share with your team.
