How could you have sales on a site that is dead for years?

Check your computer's time. Sometime I had the same problem and found that my clock was years back!!! Also, try and update Adobe Flash(yes, we are still using this obsolete garbage).

Blender has an integrated video editor.

iStock/Getty is the most miserable, the most disrespectful in regard to artists agency. Their commission is a joke.

Funny thread!  :)

On Pond5, prior to submitting, the uploader has to mention which clip is editorial into "Notes to curator" field - else gets rejected.

I uploaded 3000 really diverse high quality clips to Shutterstock almost exactly a year ago and I average a bit over $1000 each month.

Could you give us a link to your portfolio? Thank you!

Wow, impressive!

filming in bright sunlight, which camera to buy?


The cheapest one you can buy. I mean it. Expensive cameras and lenses are meant for low light situations. For bright sunlight you can use even your smartphone camera.

Clear your cache. I had the same problem once and I cleared the browswer's cache.

Great portfolio, congrats! Could tell us a little bit about your equipment, camera, lenses etc? Keep up the good work!

There is no longer iStock contributor page. Now you have to login to esp.gettyimages.com

15
Uploading to iStock is a huge mistake. You will never see your files again.

Hi guys, didn't get much active in stock like before, now trying to check istock earning page..and it seems contributor needs to log in esp.gettyimages.com ?

I tried to login with request username and password, but same results i got as 'your account is currently not set up for ESP access'. like this quote post, so what should i do?

thanks.



I did not get yet the email with the data to connect to ESP.
I have tried to connect using my iStock and Getty login, but without success.
So I have tried to ask for a new password using the form.
I have got the new password in seconds and tried again to connect to esp.gettyimages.com

And you know what?

It works!!
____
Then I have tried to upload one image using Deep Meta 3
And the image appeared in the page "Upload & review content"
I finally got customer service reply email today where they said that number of people who already had Getty account created through iStock did not get invitation email (and will not get it). We are supposed to use our contact email address as our member name and request password reset (forgot your password option on sign in).
After changing password I got:
"You are now signed in. Start uploading."

I clicked on the link and got back where I was with:

We're sorry.
Your account is not currently set up for ESP access.

I am thinking that they locked the account after several unsuccessful attempts and of course they are not saying anything about it. These locks are typically anywhere between 3-24 hours, so I'll try again.


I had a similar problem: just delete your browser cookies - all of the esp.getty/istock related - and try again.

This is plain robbery as DT could easily manipulate your sales and stuck them right below 100. I had a balance of 98 USD for years and they refused to pay me out. I had to wait a few years to get my money.

18
Close the business - that's the best thing you can do for all of us.

Getty is the most miserable agency in regards to artist:

- You cannot see your own sales!
- You cannot delete your own files!
- All of the above++ for only 15%?

General Stock Discussion / Re: New to VideoBlocks
« on: June 14, 2017, 13:24 »
What is the review time on Videoblocks? I have files waiting since April.

21
I recently joined VB. The first impression is very very bad: I have files waiting to be reviewed for seven weeks already and time keeps running.

iStock is the most artist unfriendly agency, it does every possible thing to make artist stop coming and uploading to them but sometimes some artist think uploading there is worth giving a try. No, a definite no to iStock. Uploading there is feeding and keeping alive the beast that eats 85% commission and humiliates the artist in all possible ways. Stop uploading to iStock and let it die!

23
Why would anyone want to get into Getty? Just for 10% of 15% that is for 1.5%? Getty is the most disrespectful agency in regard to artists.

Uploading to Getty or offering them content on any way it means feeding that beast. So, no, Getty is not an argument for but against uploading to Eyeem.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: No payment from Getty ESP
« on: May 20, 2017, 03:23 »
Payment is done in the next month after that in which you reached the minimum payout. Example: if at the end of May your earnings have reached the minimum payout(100 usd) your payment will be processed by the 25th of June.

25
First of all, you should admit your fault then ask for the account to be reinstated. Also, consider their point of view: how could they be sure that not all your illustrations are copies of others work? The main problem is that you did not accepted your fault from the first message.

Shutterstock is not bad at all, it might reconsider reinstating your account but you must assure them that you are really sorry, that the situation is unique, that it would not happen again.

Wish you good luck!
