How licensing works

Rights managed

Our fees are based on the usage and the rights your production needs, and our licence can be customised for your project.

Priced by the second

You only pay for the seconds you actually order. We can give discounts for large orders, packaged rights and special projects.

Indemnified

We have the legal right to license our footage and indemnify you against any claim. Underlying clearances (music, publicity rights, trademarks) stay with you.

Worldwide, all media

Most uses are licensed for worldwide all media in perpetuity.
