I've noticed that their 'Just sold' is about the same for a week or two so this is surely not a big seller :) You should rather try videoblocks especially if you submit manually.

Same here - zero sales in 4 years with clipcanvas, a waste of time in my opinion. Videoblocks on the other hand have been very good.

Also on the clipcanvas site there is this message:

Dear Submitters,

Please do NOT submit any more video clips until August 2016.

We are making some changes in our backend procedures, and adding functionality over the summer vacation, so we are just not going to be able to approve any new clips. We don’t want your clips to accumulate and wait ages for approval, so please just take a break over the summer and resume uploading in August.

Thanks for your understanding.

So I guess you can't submit any video even if you wanted to...
