Yes, you can license footage on behalf of a client. However, the license is typically granted to one "End User." If you use the footage for Client A, you cannot reuse that same license for Client B. Each unique project or client represents a new contextual instance, requiring its own valid license to ensure the chain of legal protection remains intact.
No. Dreamstime operates on a Royalty-Free model. This means you pay a one-time licensing fee for the "Right to Use" the asset according to the terms. You do not have to pay additional fees based on how many times the video is played or how long it remains on your website, which provides long-term Asset Stability for your creative projects.
Absolutely. Once you license a video, you have the right to modify the "Visual Value" of the asset to fit your project. This includes color grading, trimming, adding music, or placing text overlays. The only restriction is that you cannot claim the original raw footage as your own or resell it as a standalone video file.
Yes, you can use stock footage for promotional social media content. However, it is important to check the Usage Limitations. If the video is marked as "Editorial," it cannot be used to promote a product or service. If it is a "Commercial" clip, it is perfect for advertising. Always ensure the Intent Attribute of your project matches the license type of the video.
A Standard license covers most digital uses, such as websites, social media, and internal presentations, with a limit on the number of viewers (audience size). An Extended license (like the "Print/Broadcast" or "Unlimited Seats" options) is required if you plan to use the footage in television advertising, theatrical releases, or for a large-scale audience. Choosing the right license ensures your project remains fully compliant with the Entity Rights of the footage.
