Also, actual FCP files arent being sent to them. They are simply looking for the RAW files if im understanding them correctly (tapes). Files i have sent were .wmv and mpeg-2 renders. Then time code changes will not matter in this case.

These things im talking about are very minor. Nothing of which would be defammatory towards the client in anyway or form. The job spilled over onto a separate tape, we maybe only used 5 minutes of that tape and didnt want it to go to waste so we shot misc. video which did not have to do with this specific clients job. I guess I should have sucked it up and scrapped the rest of the tape incase they asked for them, live and learn i guess…

Thanks Mark for the reply. They paid me for each exercise video separately for each different use. ie. web videos first and then dvd quality videos were on a separate invoice. Each time I was paid, i figured i am no longer able to use this footage and am ok with this, hence the reason for transfering these rights to them. The RAW footage was shot on DV (ntsc) format, i suppose the price of the tapes and so on were covered in the invoice i sent to him previously, so there would be no extra charges incurred?

Only problem i have was certain things were shot in these videos that i do not wish them to see if i was to send them the originals, ie. outtakes, horsing around on set, and other useless footage. Can i recapture this into FCP, cut out those parts, and record back onto a DV tape? Or does this infringe upon the copyright assignment i signed? thanks for your help, much appreciated. Ryan
