License video libraries for AI
Describe the footage, rights and metadata before offering a video archive. Separate finished releases, raw footage and new recording work because their permissions and delivery tasks can differ.

Define the library
Video licensing starts with a catalog: subject matter, recording dates, duration, resolution, languages and available metadata. Separate raw footage, alternate takes, edited releases and project files. Note whether audio and captions belong to the same rights package.
Sieve describes existing content libraries and creative source materials, while its capture track concerns new recordings. Protege also describes a video licensing route. Compare the relevant track before treating an invitation as acceptance of your archive.
Prepare a rights map
For each collection, identify who owns the footage and which releases or licenses support the proposed use. List music, stock material, performances and third-party footage separately. Keep restrictions on territory, duration and purpose with the relevant files.
Protege's terms require necessary rights and permissions, with signed schedules able to change the general terms. Ask how the exact proposal treats people, voices and material licensed for a narrower purpose. The rights guide helps structure that review.
Describe quality without uploading samples
Record missing segments, compression, duplicate exports and whether original timestamps remain. Explain available captions, scene descriptions and links to project files. Use measured duration where possible and label estimates.
Ask for the sample procedure before sending footage. Record the permitted sample use, recipient and retention period. A public program page does not authorize you to bypass restrictions attached to the original production.
Compare the license and the work
Ask whether payment covers raw files, a selected subset, derivatives or ongoing additions. If the program requests new filming, use the physical-work page and agree the capture work separately.
Keep the proposed scope in the offer worksheet. For mixed libraries, the media overview links to audio and image preparation so those rights do not disappear inside one video label.
