I'm hearing stock video sellers saying Adobe Stock sales are great. I wonder if anybody with decent size video portfolio of 1,000+ clips making more money now than before video sub started in April. It didn't work out for me as my sales dropped to 1/3 of pre-video sub months.

Stock sales are far from great for me. SS is downright tanking. P5 isn't doing too hot either. For me, "great" was October of 2018. Since then, there's a steady downward trend.

I made this quick graph of my AS sales for the past 32 months. Does this help? ~6,500 clips.

For me... Five months from start of April to end of August 2023, was 57% more than the five months prior. Only got 105 videos (I thought it was more than that!) but I didn't upload anything new over that period so it's an accurate comparison. If I dont upload anything for a year and my earnings go up, then that's always a pretty impressive result!

I haven`t uploaded there for three years, I think... and there is a part of mine non-exclusive portfolio... like others mentioned, from late spring days to the end of the summer something changed in good direction... yes, those annoying 2.80$ sales do exist, but 50-70$ can always change bottom line math...

I don't see any noticeable increase in downloads since April. Perhaps it was because of summer season. Then my port was blocked for three weeks and all sales tumbled hard.

You should clarify that you mean April 2022 when video subs started, not April of this year.

But yeah, video buyers are all shopping at Adobe these days. I made more in video sales on Adobe today than for the whole month so far on SS.

Ive got about 2,500 video clips and since it came in have seen a slow, steadily decline in revenue.

No idea about sales volume - i cant see an easy way of displaying that on the stats insight.

I'm curious - for people that are seeing increases in sales, what kinds of videos are you making?

ch000 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 19, 2023, 21:32 »

More sales but less money so no. Got less than 1000 videos though.

I almost forgot it was last year. You're right. It's April 2022.

That's nice you're actually making more $$ from Adobe Stock video sales now. Congrats!

Thanks, but if that comes at the expense of sales at SS and P5, it's not really that great...

That's very true. Adobe Stock definitely has the reach Pond5 may not have, but smart big buyers who find out they can buy the same clip for much cheaper on Adobe Stock or Shutterstock rather than on Pond5 will shop around and pay the least as they can.

There are even cheaper options for sure, but AS is doing good job lately with footage… is there some easy to implement bridge option to their footage collection in Premiere or something like that…? Something changed and it’s good to see alive stock footage site these days… I’m not talking about ‘good old days’ sales like it was on SS, but there is a good trend…

Really (and I mean REEEAALLLYY) old stuff is suddenly selling for me, some of it is 720p! So strange! Also I am selling animations and vertical is a good niche.
