I got very excited a year ago when footage was announced but got turned off by seeing large collections and no submission options for "every" contributor.
Checking the blog I saw that Alamy may be contacted via email in order to be considered as a footage contributor but submission have to be made via HDD :o
Is anyone here already submitting footage? How are you doing?

I enquired and they told me they weren't interested at the moment. They wanted over 300 clips, even though I was close to having that many. So I'm waiting for the doors to open to everyone. Its taken so long, I've almost lost interest. I might try one of the other traditional sites, like Getty, as they have a huge head start over alamy. The stills sites that were late to the market have struggled and I think alamy will find it very hard to sell a lot of footage now.

dont understand why are they taking so long to open the door to all videographers. They say they first want to build a good collection from selected agencies/persons but if they allow to submit all and edit/choose the videos from submissions tightly they could easily build a large and good footage collection. But if they take years for each step, dunno how will they catch their competitors.

Hi, I´m new in the forum and new selling footage :)
I decided to upload my clips to REC Stock Footage I had to send a HDD because I had more than 100 clips although I was a little bit scare about it Finally I haven´t any problem with them and I´m really happy with REC.
They share with you If I don´t remember badly 50% if you work on exclusive or 40% if not.
How I said I´m new selling footage I have no to much experience with another websites but at this moment I´m happy with my decision on work with REC.
I hope this will be useful
