Media deal-making is leaking from every side
Between unreleased scripts, talent compensation data, and content library valuations, entertainment teams share high-stakes documents across insecure channels every day. One leak can derail a project or tank a deal.
Pre-release content leaks
Shooting scripts, rough cuts, and unannounced project details shared over email or generic drives get leaked constantly. A single leak can tank an entire production.
Multi-party licensing chaos
Distribution agreements, music licensing deals, and territorial rights involve dozens of parties each needing access to different content packages. Managing this manually invites mistakes.
Sensitive talent data exposure
Talent contracts, deal memos, and compensation schedules are among the most sensitive documents in entertainment. They need far more protection than a shared folder provides.
Content library M&A overload
Valuating a content library for acquisition means organizing thousands of titles with residual schedules, rights windows, and revenue histories. Scattered documents slow due diligence to a crawl.
Built for how media teams actually work
Peony gives you enterprise-grade content protection, multi-party access management, and AI-powered document intelligence — all at a fraction of legacy VDR pricing.
Screenshot protection, watermarks, and NDA gates for every viewer
Your shooting scripts and unreleased content deserve more than a password. Peony blocks screenshots, stamps every page with dynamic watermarks identifying the viewer, and requires NDA signatures before anyone sees a single frame.
Screenshot protection
Block screen captures of shooting scripts, call sheets, and unreleased storyboards. Prevent unauthorized copies of content that could spoil a release or compromise a deal.
Dynamic watermarks
Every page stamped with the viewer's identity and timestamp. If a script or pre-release document leaks, you know exactly who shared it and when.
NDA-gated access
Require distributors, talent representatives, and production partners to sign an NDA before viewing any materials. Fully integrated e-signatures included.
Separate access tracks for every licensing partner
Give each distributor, broadcaster, or streaming platform access to only the content packages relevant to their deal. Page-level analytics show which titles and terms each buyer focused on, and access auto-expires when negotiation windows close.
Page-by-page buyer intelligence
See which pages of your content library inventory or distribution agreement each buyer spent the most time on. Understand what titles and terms drive interest.
Auto-expiring access
Set access windows that automatically expire after negotiation deadlines pass. No more chasing revoked permissions across dozens of licensing partners.
Per-partner access tracks
Create isolated views per licensing partner so each sees only the content packages, residual schedules, and territorial rights relevant to their deal — all from one data room.

Frequently asked questions
What is a media and entertainment data room?
A media and entertainment data room is a secure virtual environment for storing and sharing sensitive content such as unreleased scripts, talent contracts, licensing agreements, and content library valuations. Peony provides a purpose-built media data room with screenshot protection to prevent pre-release content leaks, dynamic watermarks to trace any unauthorized distribution, and AI-powered search across all your deal files — deployable in under 5 minutes.
How do studios protect unreleased scripts and pre-release content?
Peony blocks screenshots of shooting scripts, storyboards, and unreleased content, preventing unauthorized digital copies. Dynamic watermarks stamp every page with the viewer's identity and timestamp, so if a script leaks, you trace it instantly. NDA gating requires distributors, talent representatives, and production partners to sign agreements before viewing any materials. Unlike legacy VDRs like Ideals that charge extra for advanced security, Peony includes all protection features on every plan.
How do production companies manage multi-party content licensing?
Peony lets studios create isolated access tracks per licensing partner so each distributor, broadcaster, or streaming platform sees only the content packages relevant to their deal. Page-level analytics reveal which titles and terms each buyer focused on, and access auto-expires when negotiation windows close. This eliminates the risk of one partner seeing another's deal terms — a common problem with legacy VDRs like Firmex.
Can AI help search across scripts, deal memos, and licensing agreements?
Yes. Peony includes AI-powered document chat on all plans. Ask natural language questions across your entire document library and get instant, sourced answers from talent contracts, music licensing deals, and distribution agreements. Find specific territorial rights, exclusivity windows, or revenue terms in seconds instead of digging through hundreds of PDFs. Peony also offers auto-indexing to organize uploaded files automatically.
How does Peony handle talent contract confidentiality?
Talent contracts, deal memos, and compensation schedules are among the most sensitive documents in entertainment. Peony protects them with granular permissions so only authorized parties see specific contracts, two-factor authentication for additional identity verification, and complete audit trails logging every view and download. Peony also offers controlled redaction to permanently black out compensation figures or PII before sharing with counterparties. Dynamic watermarks and screenshot blocking add physical leak deterrence that generic file-sharing tools cannot match.
How much does a media data room cost?
Legacy VDRs like Datasite and Ideals charge thousands per month, often with per-page fees that scale quickly for content libraries with thousands of titles. Peony offers a free plan ($0) with 2 GB of storage, with Pro plans at $20/admin/month (200 GB) and Business at $40/admin/month (1 TB). Peony has no per-viewer, per-page, or per-link limits, so costs stay predictable regardless of deal size. Screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks, NDA gating, and AI-powered Q&A are all included — not sold as add-ons.
Can Peony support content library due diligence for media M&A?
Yes. Peony handles the complexity of media M&A where acquirers must review thousands of titles with residual schedules, rights windows, and revenue histories. Peony's AI-generated due diligence checklists track uploaded versus missing documents with completeness scoring tailored to media transactions. AI auto-indexing organizes uploaded files into logical categories, full-text search with OCR lets buyers find specific terms instantly, and page-level analytics show which content areas each bidder focused on. Peony sets up in under 5 minutes versus the days legacy VDRs require.
