Archive Footage Services
Archive footage used in production to illustrate a point or to provide background information. The use of archive footage helps to give context and depth to the story being told in the present day and can help to create a more engaging and informative viewing experience for the audience.
If you require archive footage that is owned by Red Bull Media House, please contact your Content Manager.

Rights Clearance
In order to ensure that said footage is legally cleared, it is essential that you include how you intend to use it, for example: editing, public viewing, channel distribution, etc.
Using Archive Footage
If you use archive footage as part of your project, you are responsible to ensure that it meets the technical standards set out by Red Bull Media House, regardless of whether it was obtained from Red Bull or a third party.
For instance, if the frame rate of your archive footage does not match that of your project, then you must perform a proper frame rate conversion to avoid issues that would lead to a QC fail and thus a rejection of your project by Red Bull Media House.
Do not under any circumstances download and edit footage from the Red Bull Content Pool.
