General Stock Discussion / Upload now or wait for September
« on: July 22, 2022, 05:00 »
Hi everyone, I am a videographer, what do you about uploading in summer, it is worth it? or it is better wait for the new season (september) when the costumers will return? maybe is better for visibility (upload and putting the contente in "fresh content") maybe now is a waste of energy? What do you do? Thanks! and hope you are well and sell a lot ;)

General - Stock Video / About keywording
« on: January 09, 2019, 13:18 »
Hello everybody.

I usually use the tool of this web: http://microstockgroup.com/tools/keyword.php for take the word for my clips, and I usually fill the 50 words that the agencies leave to put... But now (after read in the Pond 5 suggestion for authors that the recommends to put around 10-20 an focusing in the topic) I am wondering if I did wrong, and If I had to change my clips and start to putting just 20 instead 50 words... I dont know, Ho do you do guys? Thanks!

Adobe Stock / Strange stopping sales
« on: January 09, 2019, 13:14 »
Hello everybody! Happy new year, althought we are at9th of january hehehe

I know that this "bussines" is upping and dowing and that you have to look the long term, but it is strange to me that my sales have been stoped in Adobe Stock just when it was greater (from september to november all weeks with some clip solds, and september my BME with  220 in earnings... But since november ending I havent sell anything... SS and even Pond5 (wich is to me more inconsistente than adobe) are selling well (more or less the usual) Maybe is just a bump, and it will come back to the "normal"way... I hope, because Adobe was my best agency, close to SS but a bit better.

Hi everybody, recently an ad agency contacted me because they watched a vdeo of mine about Cdiz (The city where I live) and they wanted to use some parts of it for an ad campaign, I told them that I already have those videos as individual clips across the stock platforms, and also I told them that I can sell them directly, finally we put a price and they bought 3 clips.

This made me think about all the material (I have around 2.000 videos on stock) that maybe nobody never will watch, and I am wondering if it is worth to make a simples footage with some material (putting together by matters) and upload them to youtube... I made a try with this one (subjet: beautiful women... an easy start for testing) and in 2 days have 32 views...

I dont know if someone here had the same idea, and if it works for him/her...

By the way this is the video about Cdiz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsdvaJxOrUY&t=2s

What do you think about? Thanks!

Hello everebody, I recently uploaded some videos that I shotted in slowmotion mode of the Panasonic GH5, in 180 FPS...

But in SS they rejected them saying this: "Frame rate / Shutter speed: The clip displays issues related to frame rate or shutter speed."

Can it be that for them there is too much slow motion? Do you think if I try to render again the clips in other frame rate, instead 180 fps, maybe 120 or 90 ? Of course I export the clips at 24 fps, I am talking of making less slowmotion.

Here there is a clip of the batch, in Pond5 they accepted all of them: https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/97278063/father-and-son-silhouette-playing-together.html

Thanks!

Hello, I am almost one year in microstock, I have near of 2.000 videos in shutter, AS and Pond 5.

I was very happy because the sales started to get steady, more or less 100 $ at month in shutter and AS, this one even more (in september 200 $) and Pond 5 some months sells for good money, so I thought even the sales will be take off finally...

But since 15 days It is not selling anything!! It wasnt happen never to me, sometimes I had some bumps, but 1 week or 2 maximun, and never at the 3 agencies at the same time, I dont belive in the conspiracy plots... but, what is happening? Octuber is (normally) a good month... maybe is because I am not uploading in this last 10 days? but in august i didnt uploaded in the whole month and I sold as "normal (near of 100 $ in each agency) I dont know maybe is just bad luck... I wonder if someone have been there too.

Thanks

Hello, I always use the app Easy release for making the model and property releases, and normally Shutter and AS and P5 accept the files with these releases, but in the last batch (50 files) was refused telling the cause is that a model release is needed... I dont understand, I checked and the files were with the rights releases... Aneybody knows if the app easy release isnt work any more? Thanks!!

General - Stock Video / Worried because sales have stoped
« on: February 27, 2018, 15:10 »
I know that this "business" have to be watched in the long term, but I am worried because in the last weeks (6 -7), my sales have been stoped, I started to upload content in octuber to Adobe stock, SS, and pond 5, since that month, I was selling content, the best month was november and dicember with 3-5 videos sold in each plattform, but since January I have just sold 1 in SS and 1 in Adobe, and none in Pond 5... I dont know if this is beacuse I didnt upload too many videos (just 20 or 30 at week, when in october and november I uploaded 200 at week, I started with 0 and now I have 1.500...

I dont know... I am a bit concerned, and thinking if I can do something or just cross the fingers and wait...

My portfolio is this: https://www.pond5.com/artist/silvestregarcia#1/2063

Offtopic: someone knows how to create colletions in pond 5?

Thanks!

Hello everybody.

I come from Getty video, and I am putting all my portfolio in SS, Pond5 and adobe, I have to think others agencies, but for now this are the 3 ones, because I have 2.500 videos and is a hard work to upload and submit all of them.

So, I have been working this month uploading, I have uploaded around 600 videos in each agency, but the incomes doesnt arrive, just 1 video sold in SS. Is this normal? When do you think the "normal" numbers will start to balance?

If you want to check my port and tell your opinion I will apreciate this :)
