What buyers do with it

Video is the most requested department on Aribase. Buyers license footage for multimodal training, world-model research, and evaluation, and they pay for exactly what public platforms cannot grant: clean rights at scale.

How to prepare

What raises the range, in the department's experience. Specialists guide every step at no cost to you.

  • Estimate hours, formats, and how the footage was produced.

  • Full ownership of rights is the headline driver; releases and contracts help.

  • Raw and high-resolution material outvalues compressed masters.

Questions sellers ask

Does unedited B-roll have value?

Often more than finished programs: raw footage carries the real-world variety models need.

Our archive is on tapes and old drives.

Still sellable. Digitization is a preparation conversation, not a blocker.

Can we exclude certain footage?

Yes. You choose what is in scope; exclusions are normal.
