Selling films and videos
Sell behind-the-scenes footage.
Extras as a members tier or a bundle.
Behind-the-scenes footage is the material your most committed fans want and nobody else does: the making-of, the test shoots, the deleted scenes, the director's notes. It sells best not on its own but next to the work it explains, as a tier for members or as a bundle with the film.

Short answer
How do you sell behind-the-scenes footage to fans?
Sell it next to the film it belongs to: as a monthly or yearly members tier if you make extras regularly, or as a bundle with the finished film. On uncompressed.io a tier gives access to the collections you choose and a bundle groups the film with its extras, with 0% commission and the money paid into your own payment account.
- A members tier for ongoing extras

Footage that would sit on a drive becomes a steady monthly sum. The fans who pay for extras are the same ones who buy the next film first, so the tier also tells you who your core audience is.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can you sell behind-the-scenes footage?
Yes. Fans pay for making-of footage, deleted scenes, tests and commentary, usually as part of a members tier or a bundle with the main film. Sell it from a shop where the extras sit next to the film they belong to.
Should behind-the-scenes be a membership or a one-off purchase?
If you shoot extras regularly, a monthly or yearly members tier works best because fans pay for what comes next. If the extras belong to one finished film, a bundle of the film plus extras is simpler.
How much should I charge for behind-the-scenes content?
A small members tier of a few dollars a month, or a bundle priced a little above the film alone. Price the extras as an addition to the work, not as a product that must stand alone.
Do I need permission to sell behind-the-scenes footage?
Often, yes. Cast and crew who appear on camera may need to agree, and footage that shows other people's work or music may need clearing. Check contracts and releases before you sell.
Is Patreon better for behind-the-scenes content?
Patreon suits creators whose extras are mostly posts, photos and updates, and it brings community features. For video extras, a video platform shows them in better quality and takes no commission; Patreon's pricing page lists a 10% platform fee on the income you earn on Patreon.
Can members get extras and the main films in one tier?
Yes. A tier gives access to the collections you choose, so one tier can include films and extras, and a higher tier can add more.
Give your extras a home and a price.
Members tiers, bundles and purchases come with every paid plan (Lite USD 9, Pro USD 39, Max USD 99, Studio USD 219 a month), with 0% commission paid into your own payment account.
