VIDEO NEWS..Timely Video Journalism
All media on the site goes through a review process by TRANSTERRA staff-- content that has been approved as well as any that has not yet been reviewed is clearly marked accordingly. As we develop relationships with contributors and review their content, contributors are vetted and earn corresponding credibility ratings that are published on their profile pages. Base prices are set for each piece of media on the site. You choose the license that fits your needs. Click browse now to see what we have to offer you.
VIDEO ELEMENTS Breaking news, coverage of newsworthy events, interviews with key personalities, archival footage, and the list goes on…video elements range in duration from a few seconds to a few minutes. They can vary from raw to lightly edited footage.
VIDEO COLLECTIONS Multiple contributors often cover the same event. Every day TRANSTERRA’s editorial staff choose the best video and photo elements surrounding a specific news topic or event and group them as collections on our website. Currently collections are priced per individual piece of media. Jump in and take a look at how collections fit together.
STORY KITS Similar to a video wire, these are semi-produced news kits that include establishing shots, key interviews, b-roll, cutaways, a full shot list and a backgrounder.

PHOTO NEWS …Credible Photo Journalism
PHOTO ELEMENTS Individual photos that range from breaking news to defining historical moments and stock images from around the world. The credibility rating of the contributor is displayed with each image in addition to all available metadata extracted from the original image file. This displays, for example, the original, digital date-time stamp recorded by the camera that is embedded in most images, but usually hidden. Individual photos are priced per piece. To Browse by photos only click on the check box next to images in the media type section next to the search box.
PHOTO ESSAYS A series of between 5 and 12 photos on a related topic or event are currently displayed as a collection on the site.
