General - Stock Video / 4K with Canon lenses
« on: December 07, 2016, 00:32 »
What would you guys recommend for shooting 4k, preferably with Canon lenses?  Any thoughts on the URSA mini, 5d Mark IV, GH5, A7sii, or something else.

5 Images     $29/month
10 Images   $49/month
25 Images   $79/month

Do they pay sub royalties for these plans?

Wonder if this is because a lot of the content was about using Adobe software.  I thought it was strange for them to teach how to work with competitors.

Looks like Shutterstock dropped the price of single On Demand sales from 2 for $29 to $9.99 for 1.  It appears like they also changed the category of Single On Demand sales from 30% to $2.85, effectively lowering the royalty from $4.35 to $2.85 and the royalty rate from 30% to 28.5%.

I thought it would be good to take a more comprehensive look at what it means for contributors if buyers switch from the major sites to Adobe Stock in terms of royalties paid (don't take any of this as fact, look it up yourselves I could have made mistakes). 

Adobe Stock offers 4 different plans:
1)  Single image sales $10 with a royalty of $3.30
2)  Ten images for one month $50 with a royalty of $1.65 each
3)  Ten images a month with an annual plan $30 per month with a royalty of .99 each.
4)  Subs 750 month with a royalty of .31 (this if for gold level 10,000-25,000 sales)

For SS that breaks down to
1)  going from $4.35 to $3.30 per sale
2)  $1.88-2.85 to $1.65
3)  $1.88-2.85 to .99
4)  .38 to .31

For iStock that breaks down to
1)  $1.80-2.40 going to $3.30
2)  $1.58-2.10 going to $1.65
3)  $1.30-1.73 going to .99
4)  .28 to .31

For Fotolia credit sales for nonexclusives at gold level (3 and 4 have near identical plans and royalties)
1)  $3.72 going to $3.30
2)  $3.72 going to $1.65
3)  stays the same
4)  stays the same

For Dreamstime nonexclusive sales (level 1-level 5)
1)  $3.40-9.97 going to $3.30
2)  $2.94-9.90 going to $1.65
3)  $2 going to .99
4)  .35 going to .31

For 123RF
1)  $2.16-4.32 going to $3.30
2)  $1.67-3.34 going to $1.65
3)  $1.52-3.04 going to .99
4)  .36 going to .31

The royalties listed above for each site are, in my opinion, the most equivalent plans but those can differ depending on how many credits or images are bought.

It looks like Shutterstock is selling subscriptions to some customers without the 25/day restriction and instead doing 750/month.  This should mean more downloads for contributors and lower margins for SS.  Will they raise prices, lower royalties, or take the hit to their profits?  Or is this a short term test that most customers won't have access to?

General Stock Discussion / How did 2014 compare to 2013?
« on: January 04, 2015, 10:50 »
Was 2014 better than 2013 for you?  For me it was almost exactly equal.

I can't see if you can back up RAW files with this, anyone know?

RPI in terms of USD.  We know the average RPI at Shutterstock is about 28 cents for all file types but I haven't seen any recent polls on this for photographers.

RPI means total income from photos divided by total number of photos online.

The title of the thread says it all, please only post if you have something constructive to say.

Anyone using one for timelapse and live action?  I've been looking at this one by dynamic perception but the price seems low compared to other manufacturers.  It looks to be a few thousand less than a Kessler.  http://www.dynamicperception.com/Stage-One-Complete-2-Axis-Motion-Control-Bundle-p/bdl-1-c2a.htm
Any thoughts on this?
