Description

Sum all credits and authorized credits; divide authorized duration by total recording duration.

Recording and excerpt budgets can encode a supplied duration allowance or credit flag. Remaining seconds and matching metadata cannot establish consent, copyright, cultural permission or the full conditions governing reuse.

Sum all credits and authorized credits; divide authorized duration by total recording duration.

When to use this tool

Use Authorized Recording Credit Share when you need a duration or credit calculation under explicit supplied permissions metadata.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter creditedDurations, authorized, totalRecordingDuration. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read creditedDuration, authorizedCreditDuration, authorizedShare. Use the output convention below.

Require aligned nonnegative credited durations/authorization flags, positive recording duration and total credits no greater than recording. Sum all credits and authorized credits; divide authorized duration by total recording duration.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The denominator includes uncredited recording time. Durations are assumed nonoverlapping and flags do not authenticate permission, ownership or correct attribution.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Verify the actual agreement, performer consent, attribution requirements and intended use with the relevant rights holders. Review purpose, scope, revocation and cultural restrictions beyond duration alone.
