Contributor Overview
Welcome! We’re excited you’re interested in becoming a NatureFootage Contributor.
Since 2002, NatureFootage has made the curated video collections of global wildlife cinematographers (Our Contributors) available to content producers across every industry. Interested contributors such as yourself have made it possible for NatureFootage to become a blue-chip stock footage library with HD-8K footage of over 7,500 species across every continent and ocean.
We understand how filming in challenging and dangerous conditions must be valued appropriately, and NatureFootage offers competitive rates for content producers while also allowing Our Contributors multiple pricing tiers for maintaining the value of unique species, behaviors and locations.
Automated Metadata
Metadata bottleneck, solved.
Enter location and Coqui does the rest. The metadata pipeline identifies species and behaviours, then writes descriptions and keywords. It recognises multiple species in a single frame, across both terrestrial and marine wildlife. Species identification is up to 95% accurate, and uncertain matches are flagged so every clip can be human verified. Use it to unlock your archive, or tag footage during an active production so outtakes are ready to license later.
Transcoding with Color grade.
Outstanding previews, without the grading backlog.
Ungraded RAW footage undersells your work online, yet grading clip by clip rarely fits into a working production schedule. Starting from your RAW master, color grading and transcoding happen at ingest. Your previews show the footage at its best, and every delivery format is ready to preview and download straight into the edit.
