Stock (Watch → Stock, or /stock) is where creators license their own work — footage, stills, music and sound effects — to anyone who needs it.
### Browsing
Search by words, filter by category, orientation (landscape / portrait / square) and price, and sort by newest, most licensed or price. Cards play muted on hover; the listing page plays muted with controls, so sound is one click. Every listing shows its size, length, format and provenance — AI-generated work is disclosed, and C2PA credentials are noted when the file carries them.
### The two licences
- Standard — web, social and one production (a film, series, campaign or channel). Non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual.
- Extended — everything in Standard plus broadcast, cinema, out-of-home and paid advertising, for unlimited productions.
Both are non-exclusive: the creator may license the same work to others. Neither allows resale or redistribution of the file on its own. The full terms are printed on the listing and on your certificate.
### Paying
Prices are in credits, and paying with credits works today: your balance is debited, the seller is paid, and the download unlocks at once. A card price appears only when the seller set one and the deployment has Stripe connected; otherwise the button says card checkout is not available rather than pretending. You need enough credits for the licence; the page shows your balance and links to top-ups.
### After you license
My licences (/stock/licenses) lists everything you hold, with a Download for the file and a Certificate — a text record with the certificate number, the work, both parties, the licence and its terms. Licences never expire and are never deleted, even if the listing is later paused or removed.
### Previews
With FFMPEG_PATH set on the server, previews are watermarked and downscaled and the catalog never serves the file itself. Without it, the listing says plainly that the preview is the file.
