How video licensing works with us
The form collects a description of your footage. A person here compares it with every video buyer's stated requirements, emails you the matches with reasons, and makes an introduction only on your yes. Footage never passes through us, and any fee comes from the buyer.
From form to introduction, in four steps
Reading
Kind of footage, approximate hours, resolution, years covered, the rights you hold, and your stance on exclusivity.
Matching
Against what each buyer states on its own site: material it licenses, exclusivity, and consent needed for people on screen.
Reporting back
Named buyers, why each fits, and any gap we notice, like a music bed that would have to come out.
Your answer
Only a yes from you releases your details. Turning down one buyer, or all of them, is fine.
Things this service never does
- Receive, store, view or transfer footage, samples, links or logins.
- Quote what a buyer will pay, or negotiate a price for you.
- Sign anything, or act as your agent, broker or marketplace.
- Pose as a buyer or an AI lab.
- Clear rights for you. Rights stay your responsibility, and any license should be read by your own lawyer.
Where the fees come from
Several companies that license training data reward whoever brings them a new data source, payable once a license is signed. Fees of that kind, paid by the buyer, are how this site earns. Who we suggest, and how we describe them, is decided by fit alone, and footage owners are never billed.

Questions
Is there a charge for footage owners?
None. Where a license comes out of an introduction, the buyer may owe us a referral fee through a program it runs itself. Nothing is deducted from your side of the deal.
Does my footage go to the buyer through you?
It cannot: no footage, link, sample or login ever comes to us. With your go-ahead, a buyer receives your name, your email and the library description from the form. Viewing footage is something you arrange with the buyer directly, on its terms.
Will you value my library?
We cannot. Pricing belongs to the buyer, once it has seen the material. For a rough yardstick, the footage calculator applies a press-reported per-minute rate; treat it as an opening reference only, never an offer.
And if no buyer matches?
You hear that plainly, along with the reason each buyer fell short, such as unclearable music or a format nobody listed. The request is then deleted on the timetable our privacy notice sets.
How can I reach you?
Email only. The address sits near the top of the privacy notice.
Get a quote
Your ZIP, an address for our reply, then six or seven taps describing the library. Two minutes, roughly.
A person here reads the description, holds it up against what each video buyer says it accepts, and replies naming the ones that match. No buyer hears about you before you agree.
Describe the footage here; never attach it. No clips, sample links, drive shares or passwords, please.
Plain disclosure: this site makes introductions, and a buyer may pay us once one turns into a license.
Received. Thanks for the description.
- Someone here compares it with the rules each video buyer publishes.
- You get an email naming any buyer that matches, with our reasoning.
- A buyer only hears from us after you reply yes. Footage never comes to us at any point.
