Employer used me in an adversiting video shoot and brochures

I was in a photo shoot at my last job that I got fired from and I never signed any authorization to use me in a video or brochure. Do I have any rights to be compensated for the use?

No, you don't: an employer can require employees to be in videos, brochures, websites, etc. If you were employed *at the time* the photo shoot was done, it was according to the employer's authority to require you to do this, and so they did not need your permission.
