What should I submit?

We generally accept footage that fits within any of the broad categories below:
  • Natural History (animals, plants, fungi)
  • Scenic (urban, rural, abstract, landscapes)
  • Scientific (including social sciences and animations)
  • Adventure and Travel (sports, outdoor, fitness, travel)

We also recommend uploading story idea sequences, which is a set of footage that can tell a story, or exhibits a unique behavior.  The shots in a sequence can be linked together in Cliplog, and then the sequence links can be accessed by clients on the site who are looking for stories.  For more about creating Sequences and submitting story ideas, see the link below:


Any footage with people or intellectual property will need to be properly released in order to be licensed commercially.
