If our team is sourcing and organizing content for you, your role is simple: collaborate, review, and move great content through clearance and licensing.
1. Create your Catch+Release account

How do I create a Catch+Release account?
Once your account is created, your Customer Success Manager will connect you to the right Team and projects.
2. Join your Team
Curation projects live in a Team workspace, not a personal workspace. You’ll receive an email invite to join the Team created for your project.

3. Review your curated Project
When curation is included, Catch+Release will create the Project and add sourced content for you. Inside the Project, you can:
Review curated shots
Download comp files
Leave comments or notes
Share the Project with collaborators
4. Make Selects and build Storyboards
As you review content, mark your favorite shots as Selects. Selects automatically flow into Storyboards, making it easy to visualize creative direction and gather feedback.

5. Add usage details
Usage details tell us how the content will be used and allow our clearance team to begin outreach. You can add or review usage information directly in the Project.

6. Request clearance and track progress
Once Selects and usage details are in place, request clearance. You can monitor progress, confidence ratings, and file availability throughout the process.
