Possible to upload the same video to multiple sites with the same service?

(1/2) > >>

dragonblade:
Ive just started to upload a 4k video for the first time and it's taking forever to submit it to the various sites. Some of the individual sites' uploaders and ftp systems have failed along the way so Ive had to start again from scratch. It's taking hours and hours with no end in sight. And I'm assuming you can't upload to more than one site using ftp at the same time. Not exactly sure about that one.

Just wondering if there is some kind of service that allows you to upload a single video to multiple stock sites at once? Something that's reliable and unlikely to break down would be great.

SpaceStockFootage:
Try Dropstock

dragonblade:
Thanks for the suggestion. I note that Dropstock syncs with Dropbox. Unfortunately, I tried Dropbox some time ago but I couldn't get it to work (kept giving me errors when I tried to upload files.)

As I said in the past, I have a different approach.
I upload once to my paid clouds(Dropbox, Google Drive, pCloud etc,) and then I use another paid service, MultCloud (which also has a free lower speed option).
I chose to pay them quarterly.
At MultCloud I once add all my FTP or cloud drives and then, through a web interface, the once uploaded video can be sent to say, Shutterstock, Pond 5, Adobe, wherever. You just use their speed connection.
It all depends on agencies speed load. I get speeds from 1 to 20 Mbps.
Sometimes with boutique agencies connection closes and have to try again (and again and again), but there was never a problem with the Top or Middle Tier
I do not use it with iStock.
Also, 123RF gives me some problems when file gets lost in the ... digital desert!
Of cource this transfer is also useful for photos.
The good thing is that wherever in the world I am I can give the order to transfer and re-transfer.
You do not need a PC with FTP, just your phone or tablet with internet and a web interface.
Also, your PC or Mac does not have to stay up all night.
I have a 5 Mbps VDSL upload speed so in the same evening I upload my files and I am done.
Whatsmore, I can empty content from one drive and move it to another.
Always remember to empty your trash from actual cloud drive interface then. (go say to Google Drive and delete contents after you use MultCloud)
If someone knows about a similar approach I would like to know.

Oh, SpaceStockFootage you were right to suggest at a previous post I should only keep Dnx files, but that is not always the case.
If I do heavy corrections and export from the timeline in Dnx or MotionJPeg I get away with no banding which might happen to appear if I try to re export from previously exported 8-bit DNX. (All the tricks in the book with masks, add noise etc, won't save me!) So I keep two different codec copies of the same exported file.

I use Stocksubmitter.
