For example, all news programming is considered editorial, because it is providing a commentary on real-world events as they happen. Documentaries are considered editorial, providing that the aim of the documentary is not to promote a brand product or service. Even if you are selling your documentary, it is still classed as editorial. Editorial images can also be used for educational purposes, providing the educational content is presented as a learning aid and is factual.</p> <p> Read our <a href="https://www.videvo.net/blog/editorial-usage-a-complete-guide-to-using-footage-marked-editorial-use-only/">full guide on editorial use here</a>.</p> <p>Here are some useful guides on the topic of editorial images/videos and intellectual property:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://nimia.com/documentary-vs-commercial-requirements-for-legal-releases">The Nimia Guide on Editorial Documentaries </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/2010/05/editorial-vs-commercial-images/">Shutterstock’s Guide to Editorial Images</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.gettyimages.com/">Getty’s Intellectual Property Wiki Page</a></li> </ul> </article> <section class="articleFoot"> <i class="icon-contact"></i> <p class="help">Still need help? <a id="sbContact" href="#" class="contactUs" onclick="window.Beacon('open')">Contact Us</a> <a id="sbContactMobile" href="#" class="contactUs" onclick="window.Beacon('open')">Contact Us</a> </p> <time class="lu" datetime=2020-12-07 >Last updated on December 7, 2020</time> </section> </div><!--/contentWrapper--> </section><!--/content--> <aside id="sidebar" class="span3"> <form action="/search" method="GET" id="searchBar" class="sm" autocomplete="off"> <input type="hidden" name="collectionId" value="5d1c724d04286369ad8d112e"/> <input type="text" name="query" title="search-query" class="search-query" placeholder="Search" value="" aria-label="Search" /> <button type="submit"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle Search</span> <i class="icon-search"></i> </button> <div id="serp-dd" style="display: none;" class="sb"> <ul class="result"> </ul> </div> </form> <h3>Categories</h3> <ul class="nav nav-list"> <li ><a href="/category/11-faqs">FAQs <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> <li class="active" ><a href="/category/6-licensing">Licensing <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> <li ><a href="/category/5-accounts">Accounts <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> <li ><a href="/category/7-billing">Billing <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> <li ><a href="/category/8-downloading">Downloading <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> <li ><a href="/category/4-subscriptions">Premium <i class="icon-arrow"></i></a></li> </ul> </aside><!--/span--> </div><!--/row--> <div id="noResults" style="display:none;">No results found</div> <footer> <p>© <a href="https://videvo.net">Videvo.net</a> 2024. <span>Powered by <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.helpscout.com/docs-refer/?co=Videvo.net&utm_source=docs&utm_medium=footerlink&utm_campaign=Docs+Branding" target="_blank">Help Scout</a></span> </p> </footer> </section><!--/.fluid-container--> <script id="beaconLoader" type="text/javascript">!function(e,t,n){function a(){var e=t.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],n=t.createElement("script");n.type="text/javascript",n.async=!0,n.src="https://beacon-v2.helpscout.net",e.parentNode.insertBefore(n,e)}if(e.Beacon=n=function(t,n,a){e.Beacon.readyQueue.push({method:t,options:n,data:a})},n.readyQueue=[],"complete"===t.readyState)return a();e.attachEvent?e.attachEvent("onload",a):e.addEventListener("load",a,!1)}(window,document,window.Beacon||function(){});</script> <script type="text/javascript">window.Beacon('init', '5ec5ef18-aadf-4185-b829-4d035528a08e')</script> <script type="text/javascript"> function hashChanged() { var hash = window.location.hash.substring(1); if (hash === 'contact') { window.Beacon('open') } } if (window.location.hash) { hashChanged() } window.onhashchange = function () { hashChanged() } window.addEventListener('hashchange', hashChanged, false); </script> <script src="//d3eto7onm69fcz.cloudfront.net/assets/javascripts/app3.min.js"></script> <script> // keep iOS links from opening safari if(("standalone" in window.navigator) && window.navigator.standalone){ // If you want to prevent remote links in standalone web apps opening Mobile Safari, change 'remotes' to true var noddy, remotes = false; document.addEventListener('click', function(event) { noddy = event.target; while(noddy.nodeName !== "A" && noddy.nodeName !== "HTML") { noddy = noddy.parentNode; } if('href' in noddy && noddy.href.indexOf('http') !== -1 && (noddy.href.indexOf(document.location.host) !== -1 || remotes)){ event.preventDefault(); document.location.href = noddy.href; } },false); } </script> </body> </html>
