Abstract

Systems and methods for providing clearance workflows for facilitating clearance of online content for distribution platforms. The online content may be obtained and may include an individual online content. A clearance workflow for the individual online content may be identified. The clearance workflow may include an itemized representation of clearance items to be addressed for clearance of the individual online content. The clearance workflow may be stored in electronic storage. Fulfillment information indicating that one or more of the clearance items included in the clearance workflow has been addressed may be obtained. The fulfillment information may identify which of the one or more clearance items have been addressed. The clearance workflow stored in the electronic storage for the individual online content may be updated in a reoccurring or ongoing manner.

The system of claim 3, wherein the clearance item information is obtained from one or more client computing platforms associated with a user such that the clearance item information is based on the user'"'"'s selection and/or identification of the clearance items within the individual online content.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the clearance item information is obtained from metadata associated with the individual online content, wherein the metadata includes the clearance items to be addressed for clearance of the individual online content and time indications indicating points in time within the duration of the individual online content that one or more of the clearance items are directed to.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to:

determine one or more distribution platforms the individual online content should be distributed to,

such that the identification of the clearance workflow is based on the distribution platform to which the individual online content should be distributed.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the clearance events occurring within a duration of the individual online content include one or more of presentation of restricted content within the individual online content, presentation of protected content within the individual online content, presentation of a specific type of content within the individual online content, and/or presentation of content related to a specified topic within the individual online content.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameter guidelines for the individual online content describe limitations and/or requirements for one or more of a length of the individual online content, a size of the individual online content, resolution of the individual online content, and/or a format of the individual online content.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the supplemental content requirements for the individual online content include requirements and/or parameters for one or more of metadata, thumbnail information, a tag, a title, an advertisement, an end plate, a description, and/or a caption associated with the individual online content.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the content to be removed or replaced within the duration of the individual online content includes one or more of cropped content, audio content, explicit content, and/or undesired content.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to:

edit the individual online content according to the identified clearance workflow for the individual online content, wherein editing the individual online content addresses one or more of the clearance items to be addressed for clearance of the individual online content.

13. A method for providing clearance workflows for facilitating clearance of online content for distribution platforms, the method being implemented by a computer system including one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

obtaining online content hosted over a network from one or more sources, the online content include an individual online content;

identifying a clearance workflow for the individual online content, wherein the clearance workflow includes an itemized representation of clearance items to be addressed for clearance of the individual online content, the clearance items including one or more of (i) clearance events occurring within a duration of the individual online content, (ii) parameter guidelines for the individual online content, (iii) supplemental content requirements for the individual online content, and/or (iv) content to be removed or replaced within the duration of the individual online content, wherein one or more of the clearance items are associated with time indications indicating points in time within the duration of the individual online content that the associated clearance items are directed to;

storing the clearance workflow including the itemized representation of clearance items in electronic storage;
