Title: Alamy starts offering videos (again).
Post by: bestravelvideo on August 02, 2021, 06:31

Alamy partnered with Pond 5 for that.
They mention they already offer over 6 million videos.
Now, the sentence they are using is Premium Stock Video.
Is this just a marketing name, meaning curated and selected ones?
I went to search under my alias and I see there are already available both exclusive and non-exclusive videos I have uploaded to Pond 5.
There is also no indication we can directly upload videos to Alamy.
At the Alamy video search page, the contributor’s name is visible next to the Photographer tab.
As for the price, it varies depending in Standard or Enhanced starting form 48 pounds for an HD clip.
Could someone please share what is the cut we get and how is it calculated?
Do we hope we added a new source of video income or do we hope to get the same video sale directly via Pond 5, so we get the percentage we opted in for, setting our own price?

Looks like all my Blackbox stuff is in there (through Pond 5 then presumably), but none of my direct Pond 5 stuff.

I've checked this with Pond5 support. Alamy take their cut of the price they set for each video, but Pond5 won't say how large that slice is. The Pond5 contributor then gets 60% (exclusive), 40% (non-exclusive) of whatever is left after Alamy have their slice. The deal with Alamy works in the same way as all other Global Partnership Programme deals

I don't do video, so I haven't read this forum thread, but it may (or may not) have something of interest:

I doubt it's going to gain any real traction. They're 10 years too late and they're offering nothing more than a portal for the same ol' Pond5 content. So what are Alamy's USPs?
