Usage Types

Hi,

Some of my video clips are marked as "Commercial Usage" and some are marked "Editorial Usage". I don't believe I've ever set the type or have ever seen an option to do so.

I'd assume that "Commercial Usage" is preferable to reach a wider customer base? How do I change all my clips usage type?

Regards,
Dale

Hey dropro,

Thanks for writing in. It's up to our curators to determine what can and cannot be sold commercially/editorially, so you don't set the type yourself.

You can read more about what requires model & property releases on our contributor portal here: https://contributor.pond5.com/getting-started/model-property-releases/

Commercial footage can be used in all projects; editorial is limited to editorial projects (news, broadcast, documentary, etc).

Please email support@pond5.com if you have any more questions and we'll be happy to help!
