Royalty Schedule
The goal of our royalty model is to provide a lucrative revenue stream for our contributors, while at the same time making it affordable for our clients to find and use the perfect
media for their video projects. Here's how it works:
Royalties are determined by the type of media content used. Depending on the content type, royalties may be based upon how long the content appears in an end user's final video
project or more simply, may be earned whenever used one or more times in a project, regardless of duration.
Keep in mind that the most common length of an end-user video project is 30 seconds, and that royalties are earned when the video project "goes live" (i.e. becomes a revenue generating project for Clipcentric).

(1) Earnings per second (EPS) indicates how much your media asset will earn you for each second it is included in an end-user's published video project.
(2) Earnings per project (EPP) indicates how much your media asset will earn you when it is included one or more times in an end-user's published video project.
(3) The maximum royalty per use refers to the cap on your royalty for the use of an asset in a single end-user video project.

Why is this better?
It's better for you because it removes barriers to purchase, making sure your media gets used and earns you money... each time it is used to create a project.
It's better for our clients because they only pay for what they need, allowing them to produce higher quality videos at an affordable price.

Payments to Contributors
Payments are issued to contributors at the end of every month for accrued balances of at least $50.00 US. At the end of the year, all outstanding balances are settled.
Contributors are required to submit the appropriate tax forms prior to any payments being issued. See Taxes and Withholding for information.
Payments to US residents are made by check, or optionally to your paypal account.
Foreign contributors are paid through PayPal, and therefore need to have a paypal account to receive payments.
