01
Moments, not thumbnails
A listing should answer “where in the video is the part I want?” with a timestamp, a short description, and a link that opens at that second.
Pre-launch 18+
Amateur video, built around the moment.
Most video sites sell a thumbnail. We are building an index that takes you to the exact scene, shows you who made it, and tells you what rights sit behind it. Creator-first, consent-first, and honest about what is not here yet.
What we are building
Three rules shape every page.
02
Creator-first pages
Every clip points back to the person who made it and, where they have one, their official page. The creator is the destination, not an afterthought.
03
Rights before reach
No listing without a documented licence and consent record. If we cannot show the paperwork, the page stays offline. That is a slower catalogue, on purpose.
For creators
You keep control. We do the finding.
A profile on AmateursVideo is a way to be found by what happens in your work, not by a misleading preview. You approve the licence, you approve the clips, and you can ask us to delist a page at any time.
- No exclusive contract and no transfer of ownership.
- Every performer must be 18+ with a documented consent record.
- Removal requests are actioned before we ask why.
What we will not do
- Publish a clip we cannot license.
- Mirror a paywalled scene or bypass a creator’s own page.
- Invent a view count, a subscriber number, or a ranking.
- Keep a listing up after a creator asks us to remove it.

Read the guide →Common questions
- Is AmateursVideo live?
- We are pre-launch. The guides and the creator application are live. Video pages will open only after the creator, the rights, and the consent record for that media have been verified.
- Does AmateursVideo host videos?
- No media is published today. Our plan is to index rights-cleared work and link to the original source. We will not rehost unlicensed video, and we will not publish media we cannot document.
- How do creators join?
- Apply through the creator page. We verify that you control the work, agree the licence in writing, and confirm that every performer is an adult with a documented consent record. Applying is free.
- How do I request removal of a page or a link?
- Email dmca@amateursvideo.com with the URL. We remove or disable the listing first and review the details afterwards. Creators can also ask us to delist a page without giving a reason.
- Why is the site 18+?
- The subject matter is adult video. The site is intended for adults only, carries an RTA label, and does not publish explicit media at this stage.
- What does AmateursVideo cost?
- The guides are free to read and there is no fee to apply as a creator. We have not announced any pricing, and we will not invent subscriber or revenue figures to sell a plan.
