Frequently Asked Questions
Getting started
-
Sign up for a membership, and you instantly unlock the full library of ocean and coastal video clips. Browse by collection, preview any clip, and download the ones you want in 4K. There are no download limits — take as many as you need, whenever you need them.
-
Yes — when you sign up, you'll create a member account with your email and a password. This is how you log in to access the library each time you visit. Your account also holds your billing details and download history.
-
All clips are shot in 9:16 vertical format, optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Stories. They're shot with text overlays in mind, so backgrounds are never too busy — plenty of space to add your own branding, captions, or audio.
-
Click "Log in" in the top navigation of any Tidal Takes page. Enter your email and password and you'll land straight in the member library. Your session stays active for a while, but you may need to log back in on a new device or after clearing your browser data.
Downloads
-
No limits at all. Download as many clips as you like, as often as you like, for as long as your membership is active. That's the whole point — you should never have to ration your content.
-
All clips download as MP4 files at full 4K resolution (1080×1920 vertical). The file you download is higher quality than the preview you see on the website — we compress the browser preview to keep the page loading fast, but the downloaded file is the full-quality master.
-
Yes — there's no limit on re-downloading. If you lose a file or want it again, just go back to the collection and download it again. The files are always there as long as your membership is active.
-
Yes. Any clip you downloaded while your membership was active is yours to keep using under the licence terms — even after cancellation. You just won't be able to access the library or download anything new without an active membership.
