The easiest way to order custom screening reels is to first search our database by using the Search Database function found in the upper right corner of the toolbar or by accessing our database at www.footage.net. During your search, you can build a “clipboard” of stories that interest you. When finished searching, simply hit the "Send Clipboard" button and your order will be sent to a CONUS representative who will then contact you to get more information. If you'd rather have CONUS do the research, we'd be happy to do so, free of charge. Just hit Contact in the menu bar and send us a list of what you're looking for and we'll get back to you with script information.
What formats does CONUS offer?
Depending on your request, we offer screening and master reels on Beta-SP, DVD, DV, Beta SP Pal and a variety of digital formats that include online options for delivery of footage via an FTP site. Depending on the format ordered, the screening reel generally will mirror the quality of the master material.
What are my shipment and payment options?
Shipping costs for screening and master reels will be charged to your FedEx account. If you don't have a shipping account with FedEx, we can use our account and charge you for the shipping fees. Screening, licensing and shipping fees will be invoiced to you if you have an established account with CONUS. If not, CONUS also accepts most major credit cards.
How quickly can I get the footage?
In most cases, depending on the size of the order, we ship screening reels within one business day, if not sooner. Provided enough time in the day, we make all attempts to get master footage orders out the same day the CONUS license agreement is signed and accepted. Online delivery may also be available for last minute urgent requests
How much will it cost?
The cost of the reel is based on how many clips you want to screen. Contact a representative today to obtain a price quote. There are many clips available to view online (free of charge) and more are added everyday. If you need assistance with how to search for video online, let us know.
I need the footage fast! Can I view it online?
YES! Depending on the size of your clip, CONUS can save you time by letting you screen your clip online. Once you've completed your search and compiled your stories on the clipboard, hit the “Send Clipboard" button and your order will go to a CONUS representative. We’ll contact you to discuss your online options as well as a price quote. There are many clips already available to view online, free of charge, via Footage.net by doing a Clip Based Only result search. Depending on the size of the clip, online options may be available for delivery of master footage as well.
