🎥 Videography & Film · licensed assets

RawCut · x402

A granular video asset mart where creators pay-per-frame to license raw B-roll. No subscriptions, no bulky contracts—0.01 USDC triggers an instant HTS transfer transfer that fetches a high-res, watermarked-removed download link via the facilitator. Ideal for short-form editors who need a single 3-second transition without buying a $50/mo library access.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the licensed assets engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so videographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveLegacy licensing is bloated. x402 turns video clips into 'pay-per-use' primitives, allowing editors to meter their production costs by the millisecond and ensuring cinematographers get paid instantly for every single asset pull.
