The webinar covered:
Terminology: formats, resolution, and distribution types (e.g., OTT)
Footage trends: content, technology, and usages (e.g., sizzle reels)
Differences / similarities to stills research and licensing: metadata, software tools
Standard types of requests: amount and types of footage, including subject types
Risks, rights protection and clearance: complexity in clearing rights
