Upfront payment opportunity, available until October 24, 2025
Dear rushay,

You're eligible to opt in or renew stock content that could be added to the Adobe Stock free collection. By October 24, 2025, sign into your Contributor portal dashboard to opt in your eligible files.




How much do I get paid for each video? 
You have the opportunity to renew your files for a one-year term or for perpetual use.

One-year term: For each selected file included in the free collection, you'll receive an upfront payment of USD 7, for the one-year term.
Perpetual Use: For each selected file included in the free collection, you'll receive an upfront payment of USD 16, for perpetual use.

I used to entertain this offer but stay away now, especially since Adobe starting paying UK members in dollars without any increase to suit the exchange rate to sterling.

1705 eligible files, let's see how much will be approved...

341 eligble files, I opted them all in for the one year plan and some old non sellers and early ai for the permanent freebie collection.

Usually they take very little.

I've selected all the 2,691 eligible assets for the annual free collection.

I'm not holding my breath 

i got 4101 pre-selected files

usually they take like 3%? like photos collection?

Obviously the files that get selected will get a crap load of downloads, but I'm more interested to know if this would give your entire portfolio a boost in the algorithm, probably not.

Nominated 5000 files for perpetual. Not holding my breath but I would be stoked if they took a chunk of them.

woah, if i read my dashboard correctly looks like they accepted mine 100%

year end bonus on za way. alhamdulillah.

I think you are confused with the ones you earmarked for the free collection. Until they are really in the free collection they have not picked anything yet.

I'd be happy for them to select 3% for the free collection but it might be less. I'm not sure since this is the first time I've selected everything for the free collection.

Cool but now they only need the best (not the best sellers but the ones with persepctive and with a few sales already). I doubt they are going to select more than 1%.

did they announced the results?

Not yet. Probably at the end of this week or next week. It usually takes 3 weeks or so.

Well the option to see the selected videos is gone but I have nothing in the free selection. I guess they did not pick anything

Give it some more time, I think it will be available this Friday or next Monday

Looking at the state of the current free collection, there are currently only 12 AI Generated videos and 11,000 AI generated images. Only 91,000 assets in the free collection. Not getting my hopes up about the thousands of AI generated videos nominated for the free collection.

Enjoy it while you can, it won't last; the machines will soon lay you off.

100% agree with you on this.

900 nominated files, only $9.80 (sad)

Another AS joke...

4 shots out of 5000.

4 out of 600... Is this a joke? What are those big numbers and almost a month of anticipation to get something big? I'm not applying anymore.

I can't remember the amounts they were paying for the 1-year option.  Was it $7/file?

I think I had 1,800 possible files.  I got $280 today.
