Monetize Your Archive Footage

Newsflare has established commercial partnerships with leading AI brokers and global Big Tech firms to provide the massive datasets required for AI video training. This opens a significant new revenue stream for Newsflare filmers.

The demand is for high-volume, high-quality data. AI companies prioritize footage shot with a steady hand in at least HD resolution. They require a mix of both landscape and portrait orientations to train across different platforms. Most importantly, they need 'real-world diversity', think authentic human interactions, varying weather patterns, and expansive landscapes etc to help machine learning models accurately interpret the world around us.

What we’re looking for

  • 1+ hours of footage (the more the better)

  • 720p+ resolution

  • Raw or lightly edited content (ideally no text or logos)

  • Real-world environments (especially human interactions and emotions)

  • Footage that is steady, not too much camera movement

  • No troublesome IP - such as music, logos, celebrities

What we offer

  • 50:50 revenue share on AI licensing

  • Secure, hassle-free bulk uploads

  • You retain full ownership rights to your video
