How to monetise your videos

Choose clips buyers can edit

Useful stock video usually communicates one clear action, place, atmosphere, or transition. Clips with a stable beginning and ending are easier to place in an edit than footage that starts or stops mid-movement.

Publish intentional variations only when they add a genuinely different framing, movement, duration, or moment. Near-duplicates make a portfolio harder to search.

• Hold shots long enough to give an editor useful handles.
• Avoid accidental camera shake, focus hunting, and abrupt exposure changes.
• Describe movement, location, shot size, frame rate, and subject accurately.

Prepare trustworthy video files

Upload the best available source rather than a copy downloaded from social media. Preserve the intended aspect ratio and avoid adding watermarks, logos, captions, or music unless every element is cleared for distribution.

FlexFootage creates safe public previews while retaining the original privately. Approved files are offered in format-aware download options without stretching or cropping the composition.

Turn downloads into verified earnings

An eligible high-resolution unlock can show a rewarded advertisement before the authorised file starts downloading. AdGrove verifies the impression and FlexFootage maps reported earnings back to the clip and creator.

A focused library compounds discovery: one useful clip can lead visitors to related shots and the creator’s wider portfolio.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get paid for video footage on FlexFootage?

Eligible video downloads can generate creator earnings when a visitor completes a verified rewarded advertising unlock.

Should stock clips include music?

Usually no. Clean footage gives editors more flexibility and avoids music-rights problems. Only include audio you have explicit rights to distribute.

Are video earnings guaranteed?

No. Verified earnings vary with advertising availability, geography, duration, and demand. Upload quality and discoverability can help, but they do not guarantee income.
