Video sale prices and royalties
1 Credit = £ 0.75
There are 2 ways to sell videos on Fotolia: the credit system (Pay-As-You-Go) and subscription plans.
I) The Credit System
As described in the form below, different video sizes imply different license prices.
| Small web | Big web | HD 720 | HD 1080 | Extended | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 30 | 60 | 75 | 200 |
The rates set forth in the below charts are subject to the Pricing Disclaimer.
II) Subscription plan
By default, video files are not included in subscription plans. However, Contributors may choose to offer their video files in the subscription system from their Profile.
Royalties are paid in credits and determined by the contributor's rank, and the type of subscription used to download the content (Daily/monthly limit subscription or annual limit subscription).
In subscription program, video files are delivered in big web format (= 5 downloads with a daily/monthly limit subscription, 2 downloads with a yearly limit subscription).
NOTE: Sales from last generation subscription plans maintain the former download ratios (1 video = 10 downloads)
