Your content has value — even if it’s just sitting in your camera roll. We help creators turn unused footage into passive income — without giving up ownership or control.
Spots are limited for May & June onboarding — submit early to lock in your review slot.
After you apply, we’ll review your footage and reach out personally if it’s a fit. We’re currently reviewing a small batch of creators this month.
Why License Your Unused Content?
Ethical Monetization
Many creators never get paid for the content they’ve already filmed. We help you turn your unused footage into real income — without giving up control, credit, or visibility.
Zero Additional Work
You don’t need to create anything new. Whether it’s raw or edited, vertical or widescreen — your existing footage already has value. We help you put it to work.
Full Ownership Retained
You keep full rights to your content. That means you can still use it, post it, or license it elsewhere — while earning passive income in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of content are eligible for licensing?
Almost any video content is potentially valuable — vertical or widescreen, edited or raw, professional or casual. If it’s original and you own the rights, it can be licensed. The more variety and volume you have, the more earning potential.
How much can I realistically earn?
Earnings vary based on how much content you have and how well it performs with our partners. On average, creators are seeing around $6,750 per 100 hours of footage per year. Many have hundreds of hours sitting unused — making this a powerful source of passive income.
Will my content be used ethically?
Yes. We only work with vetted licensing partners that follow strict usage guidelines. Your content is never resold or repurposed beyond what you agree to — and you keep full ownership at all times.
How quickly can I start earning?
After we review and accept your footage, licensing can begin right away. Most creators start seeing their first payouts within 30 to 45 days of onboarding.
