I've tried to search the forum, but have not found anything that seems to answer this situation (By the way, thanks for the FAQ's - Great)

I'm producing a short video for a not-for-profit organization. I found someone who has a commercial, instructional video that has some scenes I need and are unable to get on my own. She (the owner/producer/copyright holder) of the video has agreed to allow me to use short clips in exchange for a credit, as long as it is for this one-time use only.

Can someone point me to a sample agreement that will cover this situation. I want to protect both of us.

Thanks

Anyone with suggestions? - Just trying to re-energize topic

I haven't seen any pre-made contracts that cover this specific thing. The professional move is to consult a lawyer and have him draft up a contract between the two of you. If you want to wing it on your own, I would take one of the release forms in the FAQ and modify it to your needs. It won't offer you nearly the same protection in court as a specificaly tailored one would, but its free.

Thanks Dylan, I would have thought this would be a common situation ie. making use of another's clips. Any of the stock houses have agreements that I could look at to get a few hints?

It probably is, but people don't often put out a contract for public use that they had to pay a lawyer $500 to write.
