Hi,

I am not specifically doing it but I uploaded some footages shot with ıphone 7 (not a good camera) and they were sold on istock. I think only when you catch a good moment, buyers can ignore the low quality. And I believe that this is not valid for shutterstock and adobe, difficult to pass the quality check when you submit.

What was the subject matter for the video? Did it have people in it?

I assume when you say a good moment, do you mean a video with people with a natural feeling and not something setup or acted out for stock?

I've tried uploading some video shot on my iphone 10 but it keeps getting rejected by istock. It's just nature and scenics, maybe it's not the best fit for mobile video.

It was water flooding on stairs of metro. I could not plan it, so I just shoot it and istock accepted/sold.
