What is RussianFootageArchive?
|
|
RussianFootageArchive is a web-based video library
archive and stock footage marketplace and community of broadcasters,
producers, filmmakers, stock videographers, musicians and audio
professionals. It’s a great place to find and license stock footage or audio
for use in your productions, or to upload and market your own work for use by
others. All of our clips are downloadable and available immediately under
standard license or royalty-free licensing agreement. For more information,
click http://www.russianfootagearchive.com/about_rfa/. |

an account on Russian Footage Archive is fast and free. All you need to do is
fill out the information on the registration page http://www.russianfootagearchive.com/register.php. You will then receive an email

your temporary password and change your password. |
What
Do You Mean by Standard License Agreement or Royalty-Free Agreement?
|
|
Most uses
of our footage are covered under our standard license agreement, available at
http://www.russianfootagearchive.com/license_agreement/. However, some buyers may find
that their specific uses are not covered by the standard agreement. For those
buyers, our standard royalty-free license agreement, available at http://www.russianfootagearchive.com/license_agreement/, allows buyers to use footage in
a wide variety of ways in their own work, and across multiple projects, for a
one-time licensing fee. Basically, you're granted non-exclusive perpetual use
of the footage across a wide array of media, worldwide. |
How
Do I Find Clips?
|
|
To search
for clips, simply enter a search term in the Search field (or, to see all
clips, leave the field blank). If a clip interests you, you can add it to
your cart by clicking on the cart icon or adding it to a Media Bin. You can
also sort clips by price, number of sales, and a number of other different
parameters on the search results page. |
Do
You Have Any Tips for Searching?
|
|
When
looking for something specific, try using every synonymous search term you
can think of. Everyone keywords their footage differently and so one person's
Fiery Car Crash is another person’s Automobile Cataclysm is another person’s
Roadway Armageddon. |
I
Have A Specific Footage Request For Something I Couldn't Locate On Your Site.
|
|
If you
can't find something you're looking for on the site, you can always send us
an e-mail with your request. Our sales representatives will be happy to
search our libraries to help locate footage for you. |
How
Do I Purchase Clips?
|
|
Once your
clips have been selected and added to the cart, simply log into your account
and click "checkout." In the alternative, if you would like our
assistance in finding the specific footage you need or in placing a
specialized order, you can set up a Purchase Order by filling in your
information here,
and someone from our office will contact you. |

Our Legal Department Will Not Approve Your License Agreement, Can We
Get a Custom One?
|
|
Yes! Your
legal team is free to send us their comments on our standard license
agreement, available at http://www.russianfootagearchive.com/license_agreement/. |
Are
All of the Files on Your Site Fully Cleared for Creative Use?
|
|
All clips
on our website are cleared for creative use. However, we usually check each
clearance based on your request with the clip’s original producer to see if
everything you need is covered. If we have any complications with clearance
of the rights you are requesting, you will be notified before the license
agreement is signed. |
How
Can I Tell If a File Has a Model/Property Release On File?
|
|
Some of
the files/clips do not require a model/property release. |
|
For
example, even though the licensor doesn't have a model release on file for
President Boris Yeltsin, the footage can still be used in a news or editorial
context. |
|
However,
you will be notified if the specific file/clip you are willing to license
does or does not have a proper release. If the file/clip does not have a
proper release, we can recommend a service to help you obtain any releases or
clearances that may be required. Additional fees and costs will apply beyond
the license fee. |
Can
We Get the Full Text of the Model/Property Release for a Particular File?
|
|
Yes! Feel
free to send us your request by clicking here.
However, to get a full copy of release will might incur additional expenses
that are not included in a license fee. |
How
Will My Footage Be Delivered?
|
|
Once you
buy your clips you will be able to access the file — in full resolution and
without a watermark — by downloading the file from the FTP link you will
receive from us. |
|
We can
also supply you with physical tape or a hard drive, if needed (for an
additional cost). |
