Hello,

for a while now has 123rf announced that they start to sell videos now.

BUT: I was not able to find the PRICES they want to sell the videos for and the commissions they want to pay the videographers.

I sent them a mail weeks ago, but did not get a response.

Does anybody know more?

I do not want to upload my videos only to find out that they will severely undercut the prices of my other video agencies.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

I also asked about this here and on their blog. Never did get a direct response. Someone messaged me that they got a reply from 123rf and received the following info about prices and rates.

1080HD - 65 creds
720HD - 55 creds
480SD - 40 creds
240WD - 15 creds

same 50% cut for us as photos......

This of course is unconfirmed. I submitted a small test batch about a week ago, still in pending and no further news to be had, so I'm waiting till they get their act together before sending anymore!

Cant see anything in their site to suggest that they are selling video, was their an official annoucement or something to submit before it gets officially launched?

I hope they review clips and tell us the prices soon. There's no motivation to upload more at the moment. Unlike stills, it takes a lot of time to upload a footage portfolio, it's a big commitment and I'm not wasting time until I know they are accepting my clips and pricing them reasonably.

I registered as a contributor just to see what the deal was and to be honest it doesnt look like they are ready. They accept WMV? MP4? the industry standard is MOV encoded with photojpeg plus there are no details about pricing, plus looks like a lot of people are complaing about their ftp. I shall most definetely hold off until they appear to be ready, but nice to see another middle tier player entering the video market.

Hi All,

For those who are having trouble with FTP, you'll need to create an account first:

Once you've done so you can actually see the supported file formats:

Will did ask me, I did reply:

720HD - 55 creds
480SD - 40 creds

Anything else?

I'm not sure if you have already addressed this:
- When will out footage clips be reviewed?

- When do we know if our clips are what you are looking for?

- When will 123RF footage launch?

Thanks in advance.

1. We're starting reviews today.
2. You'll know when we start reviews, mostly commercial types please. I've seen some editorial like ones, we don't want those for now.
3. When we have enough content - perhaps mid January 2012.

Thank you!

Alex

Two quick questions.

Will contributors have the ability to choose or upload a thumbanil to display in the search? This is crucial for cg videographers btw.

Will you advertise video aggresively in the microstock market or just make it available through your search?

Good questions!

1. We can implement that, perhaps at a later that, or do some YouTube thing, grab a frame in the vid and then display it. (We can't have mismatches...!)
2. Of course we will!

Merry Christmas

Alex.

That's pretty important, Alex. Sooner rather than later would be helpful. Every other stock footage site that I know of allows changing the thumbnail. Often times, the starting frame is not at all representative of the clip as a whole.

Agreed, if i were you i would implement that from the word go. I am a non-exclusive contributor to all of the main agencies and i can tell you with all honesty that select thumbnail at a specific timepoint is crucial for us. P5, Revo, iS, Clipdealer all offer it because it is important. Some other agencies dont and the question gets asked time and time again and it usually falls on deaf ears due to i suspect cost/architecture requirements on their backend. For example, a video of the big bang. Frame starts as black then cresends to a glorious explosion, which frame would you prefer potentials buyers to glaze over?

Hey there,

Our IT Manager informs me that we have prepared 10 thumbnails throughout the movie play that can be used as representative thumbnails.

We just have to implement a way in which you can select the thumbnails that best suits your footage.

The thumbnails capture 10 frame that are equally spaced throughout the length of the footage.

This should cover most contingencies.

Hope that's OK with you?

Alex

Hi Everyone,

The URL quoted is a bit off, this is the right one: http://submit.123rf.com/footage

You'll have to log in.

We're prioritizing image reviews now, so footage will be a bit slower, we'll deal with this soon.

Thank you very much.

Alex.
