Fiund / How it works
A clear brief. A defined review. A useful handoff.
Video sourcing starts with how a model uses time. Recognizing an object, following an interaction, and learning an activity across several minutes call for different material. Video Training Data is a Fiund inquiry site for buyers defining those requirements and exploring suitable footage.
Project workflow
Six stages to discuss with Fiund.
Define the target
Video sourcing starts with how a model uses time. Recognizing an object, following an interaction, and learning an activity across several minutes call for different material. Video Training Data is a Fiund inquiry site for buyers defining those requirements and exploring suitable footage.
Write the specification
Model task and content categories; Desired duration and total volume; Video and audio specifications; Overlays, edits, and content exclusions; Commercial use, sample criteria, and timing. These details establish the project’s review criteria and reveal where further clarification is needed.
Review sourcing fit
Discuss which existing sources or collection approaches could address the brief. Identify access constraints, source documentation, and unanswered permission questions before treating a category as usable inventory.
Inspect representative material
Where appropriate material can be shared, agree on handling and inspect it against the specification. Record defects, coverage gaps, and annotation questions against exact source identifiers.
Agree the project scope
Confirm the selected material, intended uses, preparation work, acceptance criteria, commercial terms, and delivery arrangements in a project-specific agreement.
Review the handoff
Check file references, manifests, documented processing, and accepted exceptions. Keep permission review and technical acceptance explicit, and resolve open issues before the collection is treated as approved for the intended use.
Category decisions
Build the right starting brief.
Temporal unit
Clip length, session length, continuity, and whether cuts or transitions are acceptable.
Picture and sound
Resolution, frame rate, codec, aspect ratio, track layout, and synchronization needs.
Content restrictions
Subtitles, overlays, watermarks, music, edits, synthetic material, or excluded subjects.
Labels and splits
Descriptions, temporal annotations, source grouping, and train/evaluation separation.
Common questions
Before you source.
Can I request footage without subtitles or overlays?
Yes. Include that requirement and specify whether watermarks, scoreboards, lower thirds, logos, and embedded captions are all excluded. These are different properties and should be checked on representative samples.
Are existing video archives and new collection both options?
You can inquire about either. Existing archives may have capture limitations; a custom collection requires an agreed brief. Jaeden will discuss fit and feasibility before presenting any delivery commitment.
Does permission to license video automatically include every soundtrack and person?
Do not assume that. Tell us your intended use and discuss the relevant source permissions, participant considerations, and third-party material as part of the project review.
