This one is exactly what it sounds like: buyers need native 8K video (7680×4320 or higher) and there isn't nearly enough of it. Subject matter is wide open — landscapes, cities, people (with releases), macro, wildlife, industrial processes. If your camera genuinely shoots 8K, almost anything well-shot has a chance.

What gets licensed first:

Straight-off-the-card original files — no re-encodes, LUTs baked in is fine, filters and sharpening are not
Steady, intentional shots (tripod, gimbal or drone) at least 10 seconds long
Variety within a submission batch — different scenes beat 20 takes of the same one

Instant disqualifiers: AI upscales, 4K→8K interpolation, watermarks, timestamps, or footage you didn't shoot yourself.
