Pets and wildlife, funny everyday surprises, dashcam and road moments, video doorbell and home security recordings, action-camera adventures, weather, reunions, sports, skills, and satisfying moments can all be considered. The moment matters more than the camera.

Yes, if you own the recording or have documented commercial licensing authority. Tell us what happened and disclose relevant people, music, location restrictions, or other rights that need review. Never put yourself or others at risk to capture a clip.

The uploader accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM videos, up to 2 GB per file. Use the best-quality original available and keep a copy of your source recording.

Yes, if it is your footage or you have the required licensing authority. Include the original file and information about earlier publication or existing restrictions. Finding, downloading, reposting, or crediting someone else’s video does not give you permission to submit it.

Give it a clear title and description, explain when and where it was recorded, and accurately describe your ownership or licensing authority. Include relevant permissions, existing licences, and any important context.

Check the file type, size, internet connection, and whether your session has expired. Sign in again if needed and retry through Submit Clip. If the problem continues, email support with a brief description of the issue; never include your password.

Disclose every AI-generated, reconstructed, or significantly altered element. Synthetic material must not be presented as a real filmed event and requires separate review. It does not automatically qualify for the filmed-original earnings program.

Yes. You keep your copyright and grant the rights described in the Contributor Footage Licence Agreement. Read that agreement for the full licence scope and conditions.

Only if you own the recording or can document authority to grant the required commercial rights. Access to a shared camera, permission to view a recording, or crediting its owner is not enough by itself.

Disclose them. Music, background television, artwork, identifiable people, children, and location restrictions may require additional permissions. DCC may request supporting evidence before selecting footage.

Disclose the existing agreement and any exclusivity or restrictions. Do not promise rights you cannot grant. DCC will need to review whether your existing commitments allow participation.

Files are kept private during security screening and review. Our team checks integrity, ownership, authenticity, rights, and editorial suitability before selecting footage.

No. Receipt, security clearance, or review does not guarantee selection, publication, monetization, or payment.

There is no guaranteed review time. It depends on the footage, available context, rights evidence, and editorial needs. Check your dashboard and verified email for updates or requests.

Sign in and open My Clips to view your submissions. Monitor your verified email for any requests for more information.

An eligible original selected for use in a qualifying monetized production may earn a share of actual qualifying revenue. The published terms define the revenue calculation, contribution weighting, verified contributor tier, limits, and other conditions.

No. A submission may earn nothing. Selection, publication, views, and dashboard estimates do not guarantee finalized earnings or payment.

The published program has a five-year earning window per eligible original clip and tier-adjusted cumulative caps, from CAD $5,000 at Scout to CAD $10,000 at Legend. The full terms explain when the period starts and how tier changes and prior earnings affect the remaining cap.

Not necessarily. Estimates can change. Payment depends on finalized qualifying receipts, reconciliation, required identity and tax checks, rights eligibility, and the published payment conditions.

Automatic monthly payout transfers are not currently active. Dashboard estimates and target dates are not payment promises. Contributors do not need to make withdrawal requests; any future activation will remain subject to the applicable terms and verification requirements.
