Title: What are the usual video royalties on DT?
Post by: dragonblade on March 18, 2023, 11:37
Just wondering what most people get paid for individual video sales on DT? I tried to find the info on their site but could only find prices for customers. It looks like they offer video subscriptions these days so I guess the royalties would be pretty low. However, I have been getting some low priced video sales on AS lately and a little bit of that on P5. Would DT be any better or the same or worse with regards to video? I hope they're not as bad as SS who give videos away for less than $1.

In 2022 I had over all agencies 360 video sales -> 2 of those sale were at DT with $3,70 each for me.

Oh darn, that's low. But still higher than my last two video sales from AS.

I know I'm getting desperate considering DT for video but times are tough.

It can be anything from $3-4 to $28. My latest sale was $8.59 for a lvl 0 sale of that video.

But video sales are so infrequent that it's hardly relevant. Most of my (image) sales are $0.35 subscription.

In the microstock poll results, why does istock no longer appear in the top 3 even though its rating is higher than DT?

I believe it's because they don't have enough people rating them - I think there have to be 50 ratings to get the number listed and iStock has only 40 ratings

Ah highly variable. That's good to know there are some decent royalties to be had. I think I will submit my stock videos to DT and see how things go.

Hmmm....now I'm not so sure if submitting videos to DT is a good idea or not. Apparently, if P5 find out that your videos are on other agencies, they will lower the price of a sale to match the other agency. Though then again, there are so many variables which influence the price on an agency like DT or SS. It's not exactly a fixed price. Though I get the impression that generally, videos would be priced lower on DT compared to P5.
