FAQ

Questions before the first upload.

A short guide to what atlas8 is, what belongs here, and how the V1 product stays focused.

What kind of clips belong on atlas8?

Real, candid, location-based clips. Streets, walks, drives, markets, weather, transit, and everyday scenes are the right fit.

Is this stock footage?

Not in the traditional staged-stock sense. V1 is for finding authentic clips tied to a place and moment.

How long can uploads be?

V1 is designed around clips up to one minute long so upload, storage, and playback stay simple.

What resolution should clips be?

Use clips up to 1080p for V1. The first build avoids heavy transcoding and adaptive streaming.

Do contributors get paid?

Not in V1. The first version is focused on validating search behavior, downloads, and location demand.

Can people download without an account?

The V1 product direction keeps browsing and downloading low-friction. Uploading requires an account once auth is connected.
