Hi Everyone,

Heads up! Videos will be eligible for nomination into the Adobe Stock Free collection starting tomorrow (Tuesday, October 11). An email with detailed information will be sent to those of you with eligible content, tomorrow morning (PDT). Check your inbox then, and let me know if you have any questions after you read it.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Thanks for letting us know Matt, will the email show the price per clip?

Why on earth Matt should announce something not true

uhm if you don't know him it seems you are not frequently partecipating in this forum

I've been on this forum for a few weeks.
Well then, let him offer Adobe to subscribe to the video, following the example of envato.elements.
Accept only those authors who agree to this.

Email came out, but can't see what video assets are eligible when I go into my account. Is it not live yet?

@Mat

My eligible clips are showing on my dashboard

How exciting! Another shoot yourself in the foot opportunity.

8 USD for a clip, with auto-renewal and I'm not sure if we are getting paid every year.

thank you, not for my work.

In principle, I find the FreeCollection offers quite good, but $8 for a video clip does not seem to me to be in proportion to $5 for a photo.
I will definitely not participate in this programme with my videos.

I haven't received any emails even though I have a huge portfolio of videos on Adobe.

I had a batch of images that were in the freezer section last year and received an invite to re-submit them this year. They were all highlighted on the dashboard. I'm guessing they may do something similar with footage.

There is a filter option in the dashboard section. It is below the banner, and above the thumbnails and says "eligible for free collection." Check that box and you'll see your files available for nomination.

Thanks,

Agree.
8 for one year is really poor for what clips could generate. I'm a little disappointed

At 8$ it's a no for me too

Hi all,
We apologize. The email many of you received was sent to the wrong recipient list. You received it if you had vector and illustration files which you had a chance to opt in in August. We'll send out a retraction and an apology.
If you have eligible videos, check out your dashboard in the contributor portal and nominate as many as you'd like. Note, we only selected ones which has 0 sales in the last 12 months. Also, if you chose to renew them for the free collection next year, you'll be paid again.

I'd have a heck of a lot more respect for this 100+ billion dollar company if they gave us the choice to use our content for "free" and offer us 0.33 per download per image and $2.80 per video per download rather than a one time $5 and $8  respectively. The reality is they offer chump change to us for their sole marketing purposes. We see no direct benefit for giving our work away for so cheap. I really do like Adobe Stock but this "free" section is not right. I too am thankful they give us a choice to opt in or opt out. I will 'donate' my work for a charity, but not a publicly traded multi-billion dollar company.

In the UK were only getting £6 per clip which when using a currency converter into $ is only $6.68.
Matt I feel in the volatile world in which we live in today Adobe should be checking currency rates on a monthly basis. It can't be too hard right? Do you know if the company is looking into this? Even when the rates come down I feel it's still in the best interest for the company as then artists don't feel like they are at a disadvantage just because of the country they are from.
