iStockphoto adds User-generated Video

Canadian company iStockphoto, which describes itself as the world's leading community-powered marketplace for stock photography and illustrations, is widening its business base to include user-generated video licensed from $5 a 30-second clip upwards.

The new business centers on contributed stock video, film and animation clips and, beginning in September, iStock will license broadcast-quality footage, with a focus on digital formats, including HD video.

It publishes the following royalty free pricelist: Small, 320x240, $5; Medium, 640x480, $10; Large, 720x486 (NTSC/PAL), $20; HD 720, 1280x720, $35; HD 1080, 1920x1080, $50.
