I also contacted Pond5 support and asked whether I may leave my video files currently with Adobe if I sign up as an exclusive contributor. Ryan's (Pond5) answer was loud and clear:

"Thanks for writing in. No, you may not have the same videos on Adobe and Pond5 exclusive. If you are exclusive to Pond5, that means that the videos can only be offered on Pond5, or through Pond5 to our partners via the Global Partner Program (GPP)."

That's the way I understood it some 5 weeks ago when I pulled my clips out of AS and SS and took them exclusively to P5. Not sure how I knew that except that I read it in some of their documentation.

And since P5 "shares" them with AS, I figured I might as well skip uploading new clips to Adobe since they would end up there anyway.

I contacted customer support at Pond5, and was told that to be exclusive I must remove my portfolio from Adobe. However, they share exclusive content with Adobe through their GPP program.
I'm strongly considering doing this, but I was curious if we have any Pond5 exclusive people here and what their experience is? Thanks in advance.
