Source Policy

Source policy controls what types of media Kinema can use.

Source types

Source policy appears after you press Generate. It is a quick checklist of the media types Kinema is allowed to use for the project, so the build follows the rules you set.

  • Stock footage and Stock Images are useful for general visuals.
  • Sourced Footage and Sourced Images are useful for specific people, places, events, or documents.
  • Generated Images are useful when no suitable real visual exists.
  • Graphics should be enabled for maps, timelines, statistics, or custom visual explanations.
  • Music and Text Overlays are usually enabled by default.

Review responsibility

Kinema can help source and stage assets, but the creator is responsible for reviewing factual claims, usage rights, licenses, and publishing compliance.
