Author Topic: MotionElements worth contributing to? (Read 4302 times)

Anyone had any experience with MotionElements? I'm Thinking about uploading a few videos just to test the water (though not expecting much), has anyone been able to generate any revenue from there?

I have 82 published files (from 2016) and total sales for 14 dollars

Maybe if I had 1000 clips I could get more out of it.

I am not opted in to their distribution program.

The site is easy to use, so I might send them a fresh batch.

majority of sales came from photos, but I only have 30 clips live

I am also interested in income on this site. Is there anyone who has uploaded a lot of their video there and is selling it through a subscription program?

Yes, I have about 1.500 videos there and via the subscriptions, I earn $ 15 - 25 monthly.
They pay between 15-18 each month.
This is a monthly stable.
Single videos can still sell at your set price but for my portfolio, this only happens a couple of times a year.

I have been on Motion Elements since 2013 (not actively uploading in the past 2 years) and I have 274 clips uploaded (animations), the past 2 years I made about $350-400 / year there. I am opted in to the Global Content+ Program and Video Editing Platforms (API).

Not really a major earner but YMMV.

Been there since 2015, 129 videos uploaded, opted in to all the different options... make about $250 a year there.

I am little bit conserned about doubled sale offers on apac markets. as far as i can see the same distributor who sells for getty images, sells stock footage for motion elements on asian pacific market places. so there is a risk of doubled sales offers of the same media via two different accounts. that could be ending in deletion or blocking of your content, right?

I can't log into my account, the site doesn't work. Is it like this for everyone?

I have a payout pending since last year but can't find any contributor support where I can contact them directly.

In general, I think it's the kind of stock agency where you upload what you like for any price (I've seen lots of crappy AI vids), and there appears to be no review process and goes directly for sale.

Hmm, not really big seller for me but sending to me every $1 if I made sell with them. Definitely no payment problems.

I have a few thousand assets there (video + pictures), and strangely enough,
(a) never made a sale/they never informed me of a sale
(b) the support is virtually non-existant, and if you somehow do get through to someone, its extremely rigid (like talking to "ai", except the "ai chats" even though they are super dumb, are better than the so-called "support").
(c) parts of their websites seem broken that they still haven't fixed.
(d) been there when they were a 'brand new' website (before they new interface), so I think at least 6-7+ years...

So, no, I wouldn't recommend it...

It was my fault, I put an incorrect paypal address and it's been trying to send every month but get's returned. But even though I've corrected it, I think their payment system has given up.

But it's crazy how hard they try NOT to allow direct communication with their contributors.

I tested about 1000 files for few months, not even a single sale, I do presume they do monkey business big time. Not even on the other system affiliate or something, came on
