From Video Creator to Licensing Pioneer

Jared Brick, founder of Brick House Media, was sitting on terabytes of archived video footage — un-used, un-monetized, and seemingly forgotten. But when a colleague mentioned that AI companies were licensing creator content for training, Jared saw an opportunity.

“I had all this footage and no real monetization plan. Suddenly, AI licensing made it super valuable.”
Jared Brick, Brick House Media, founder


🎯 From Unused Footage to AI Gold

AI companies like OpenAI and Google are in a race to improve their models — and they need massive amounts of video to do it. AI Licensing Startups now bridge the gap, giving creators like Jared a way to license existing footage for fair compensation.

Jared quickly onboarded into the AI licensing marketplace and became a pioneer in this new content economy — proving that even small creators can generate real revenue from video libraries they already own.

“AI Licensing Startups have opened the door for data-usage deals from content owners —
and Jared Brick is proof it works.

🧠 Why It Matters

This story isn’t just about one creator. It’s about a larger shift in how media, AI and ownership intersect. While big media companies negotiate billion-dollar licensing deals, small creators now have a seat at the table — and Dark Media AI is leading the way in helping them get paid too!

FAQS

We represent a leading platform that connects video creators with global AI companies seeking training and research video data. Currently, AI companies invest heavily in licensed video content to train their learning models, and they make it easy to earn by licensing your owned video footage to multiple AI global companies. We're partnering with Powerhouse Partners for sales, support, and payments as this opportunity offers video creators a chance to quickly monetize their existing libraries—potentially earning over $1 million for every 5,000 hours submitted.

Once you sign the licensing agreement with Powerhouse Partners (referrals required), simply upload all the video content you'd like to be considered. We then handle all of the media ingestion, categorization, audio removal, and will match your content to active license client orders. As the content owner you will receive the majority % of the gross revenue, paid out 45-60 days after we receive payment from the AI company and the current project ends.

You can upload any and all video content including: photojournalistic video, drone video, performances, interviews, and speaking talking head videos does well. You can even upload unused video files from the “cutting room floor” b-roll, multi-cams and more. Finally get paid for all the camera angles and extra takes that were not used in the final productions! A premium is paid for high quality 4K, HD 1080p, professional quality, cinematic shots, drone footage, narrative content, etc. regardless of what people are in the shot. Raw formats are accepted.

Your video content will have all the audio removed, it will be segmented into small indexed chunks and be made available only for the purposes of AI training only. Not only will your video will not be shown or distributed anywhere ever, but your public videos will also be placed on a “do not scrape” list for other AI companies. No one will ever see your media or associate it back to you!

 

If you onboarded and had your content submitted for our Cinematic, Vertical and Unique Sports deals, we know one of the biggest questions on your mind is:  “My content was submitted weeks ago! Why does it take so long to hear back about AI licensing deals?” 

If you’ve recently onboarded and are curious as to why the timelines for AI deals are months-long, here’s what’s happening behind the scenes, and why the process takes time:

1. Buyer Review & Approval Is Not Instant
Even after your content is submitted and passes initial checks, buyers (often large tech and AI companies) conduct their own internal review process. This includes content verification, training spec alignment, legal approval, and final acceptance.

2. Quality Over Speed
These deals are high-value and long-term. Buyers are training AI models that will exist for years, so they move carefully reviewing content in batches, ensuring licensing rights are watertight, and minimizing risk.

3. Every Deal Is Custom

Unlike a typical royalty license, AI training deals vary in scope: different use cases, different content types, and different legal frameworks. Each one requires negotiation and tailoring, no off-the-shelf templates here.

4. We’re Advocating for You
Troveo’s job is to make sure your work is respected and compensated fairly. That means negotiating better terms, tracking every hour submitted, and keeping up with complex client demands. We’d rather take longer to get it right than rush into a deal that doesn’t benefit you.

What You Can Do While You Wait:

  • Make sure your content meets spec (HD, clear framing, diverse shots).

  • Keep uploading to the correct buckets, you never know when another deal will close.

  • Keep an eye on your portal for updates. We’ll let you know when accepted hours and estimated payouts are confirmed.

Thanks for your patience and trust—we’re in this with you, and we’ll continue pushing for clarity, speed, and the best possible results.

"Team Troveo"

You. You always remain the owner and can do what you want with your media. You can not also sell and license it however to other AI licensing companies during the active period. 

This is based on a calculation based on the type of media you have uploaded, the format, the quality, and match the order needs of the client. Often clients pay between $1-3 per minute and you will make the majority % share of that purchase. 

This site part of our Partner referral program and you can get referred here. We simply want to know that you own your content and can upload a minimum of 5TB to get started today. 

If you are a videographer, media content creator, media library owner or similar... this fits well within your business model. If not, you can add a DBA or other structure to your company to accept these large payments, sent directly as ACH payments to your bank account of choice.
