Royalty management software that runs the whole waterfall.
Molten Cloud is royalty management software for film and TV distributors, studios, and broadcasters. One click runs a full royalty calculation: ingest revenue from any platform in any format, normalize revenue and expenses, match titles, compute waterfalls in batches that fit your accounting cycle, publish statements for thousands of licensors and participants, and push the result to your ERP. Minutes, not weeks.
Ingest gross receipts from any source
Ingest raw, unedited gross receipts from platforms third party platforms (e.g. Youtube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Roku, Tubi, Pluto) or your owned and operated platforms.

Click Calculate, and the Molten Cloud royalty management engine runs millions of computations within seconds for an entire month, quarter, or year, for one source of revenue or a batch of many, based on your criteria (payment status, source type, and so on). Participations, residuals, and recoupable expenses are computed in the same pass as the licensor splits, so nothing is reconciled by hand afterwards.

Every match, every split, every payment, traced to the source row. Flagged items get a review queue.

Your logo, your data, adapted to your financial deal structures. Royalty statements reach licensors as a clean PDF or XLSX with full line items and totals, and the same data ports straight to ERP, accounting, and payments systems. Distributors running thousands of statements a cycle publish them in one pass rather than one file at a time.

Built-in dashboard offers a ready-to-go lens into your data. Using APIs the system can also feed the resulting data into advance reporting or analytics tools, and ERP, accounting, and payments management systems.

Royalty management software, answered.
What is royalty management software?
Royalty management software calculates what every licensor, participant, and partner is owed from each sale, window, and platform, then produces the statements and payout files accurately and on time. Molten Cloud automates this end to end, including FAST and AVOD revenue that legacy systems cannot model.
How does royalty management software work?
In four steps. It ingests revenue and expense reports from every platform in whatever format each one sends. It matches those lines to the right title and the right contract. It applies the deal terms, recoupment, and splits to compute the waterfall. Then it publishes licensor statements and payout files, and pushes the totals to your accounting system. On Molten Cloud that whole cycle is one click and runs in minutes.
What should film and TV distributors look for in royalty management software?
Four things that general purpose royalty tools usually miss: FAST and AVOD revenue models, which are performance based rather than unit based; participations and residuals alongside licensor splits; title level matching that survives inconsistent platform reporting; and a line by line audit trail back to the source row. Software built for publishing or franchising handles none of these, because the deal shapes are different, which is why film royalty software is a category of its own.
Does it handle participations and residuals?
Yes. Participations, residuals, and recoupable expenses are computed in the same pass as licensor splits, from the same contract terms, so the numbers agree by construction rather than by reconciliation. Statements for participants are produced the same way as licensor statements.
Can Molten Cloud automate FAST and AVOD royalties?
Yes. FAST and AVOD royalty automation is core to the platform: it ingests performance and revenue data and turns it into participant statements automatically, instead of a manual spreadsheet per platform.
Does Molten Cloud replace our accounting system?
No. It feeds it. Molten Cloud produces the statements and payout files and exports them to your existing accounting stack, so you get automated royalty accounting without ripping out finance systems.
Does Molten Cloud also handle rights and content management?
Yes. Royalties is one of three modules on one platform and one source of truth, alongside rights management and content management. Because rights and revenue live in the same system, royalties are calculated from the actual deals rather than re-keyed.
