VIDEO for AI, which places film, TV and video archives with AI companies, states a 20 to 25 percent commission set by exclusivity and term; the stock agency pocstock offers broadcasters and publishers a 50 percent revenue share on archive footage it licenses for AI training, and Newsflare's AI programme pays owners 50 percent of the client's hourly rate; Versos charges owners to process and label their footage and also takes a cut of the licence fee. The agent's share therefore varies by a factor of two or more between models.
