General - Stock Video / 4k in 50p

« on: August 31, 2018, 17:45 »

Hello, fellow filmists!

My latest camera acquisition allows me to film UHD 4k at 50p, here in PAL land, as opposed to the usual 25 fps. However, I am struggling to establish whether this is any more or less desirable to stock footage purchasers.

Anyone with any experience of selling 4k video at 50p?

Thanks guys. More power to your lenses.

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / Panasonic LUMIX Cameras, 4k Native MP4 Files or convert to MOV for Stock Footage

« on: May 24, 2017, 06:52 »

Greetings, fellow shooters. Is anyone using Lumix cameras for 4k Stock Footage??

I have both the G80/85 and the GX80/85, which produces quite stunning MP4 4k video files.

This IS an acceptable file format for most footage agencies, but I know they do prefer .MOV files.

Is anyone uploading MP4 files or do you use software to convert? Is there a big, noticeable difference in file size or quality?

Big thanks, bug kudos and more power to your lenses!

General Stock Discussion / Shutterstock $105.00 for a single footage sale 'Clip Pack' ????

« on: October 05, 2016, 20:08 »

Greetings, fine compatriots and fellow artists.
I like to think myself rather astute, alas; I am struggling no end to make out HOW, exactly, I have earned $105.00 from a single HD footage clip, apparently sold as a 'Clip Pack' sale?

Can't get to grips fully with Shutterstock's logic here. I KNOW that many, (including myself), have suffered the ignominy of earning only 4 dollars or so for selling a footage clip but talk about going to one extreme to another. Of course, it may well be an error and it may well be remedied.

Comments or thoughts hugely appreciated.

Kindest wishes,

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / 4k Video Editing

« on: June 11, 2016, 16:39 »

Greetings, fellow artists.

Would love to learn of any tips, hints that you guys are using regarding your workflow for 4k editing. Have successfully sold HD clips for several years and have been asked for 4K material.

My camera will record 4k in MOV (LPCM) / MP4 (LPCM) / MP4/AVCHD: AVCHD Progressive. I am planning to edit with Videstudio Pro, a product I have used for years and like.

I have hitherto used MPEG Streamclip to convert the rendered files into Quicktime MOV, as required by all my stock agencies, but this obviously isn't going to work with 4k files!

I know some people have been editing 4k files in a HD timeline, and whilst I appreciate this will produce stunning HD files, I'm guessing the Stock Agency servers won't recognise them as 4k files!

Thoughts much appreciated.
