FAQ’s
DO YOU ACCEPT 4K?
Definitely! Demand for 4K is ever growing and will soon surpass that of HD which translates to more sales at better rates. When you shoot 4K you’re future-proofing your clips and in turn, sales!
CAN I STILL SEND OTHER FOOTAGE TO BLACK BOX OR THE AGENCIES?
Yes, you can always distribute footage that you haven’t sent to us. Our agreement under Black Box covers only the footage that you send to us. This is to ensure that Black Box does not receive duplicate clips.
HOW MUCH CAN MONEY CAN I MAKE?I made a video specifically covering this, it is important to understand that this is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes a long time to build a strong revenue generating portfolio.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PROCESS MY FOOTAGE SO I CAN SEE MY CLIPS ON THE DASHBOARD?
We aim to curate your footage and have it visible on Black Box within 30 days from upload.
Usually you’ll see the edited clips on your dashboard in a matter of weeks.
WHY DID SOME OF MY FOOTAGE NOT GET PROCESSED INTO CLIPS?
Our goal is to generate as many clips as possible out of your content for distribution. The team are trained in knowing what the distributors will accept or reject, so those are the standards that we go by. We also have to take into account commercial viability. A clip can be technically fine but hold no value. While rare, if there’s ever any content that you were expecting would get turned into clips but didn’t – feel free to resubmit just that content with a note for us to take another look, and we will.
