Author Topic: Video is uploading too long (Read 1016 times)

maxop-plus · « **on:** December 20, 2024, 03:44 »

Hello everyone,
besides of photos I just started to upload videos. I have this speed internet connection: 30/2 Mbit
App. 1 GB video takes roughly 3 hours to upload. Is not that toooo long?
Also, 2 the same lenght videos one is 300MB and the second is 700MB. Why is that? I use daVinci resolve.
Am I suppose to compress, or make videos smaller?
Any advice highly appreciated. Thank you.

Download the FileZilla Client:

Thanks, I use FileZilla for 7 years for photos and now also for videos. Let me just point out that video files are in .MOV

Your upload speed is 2 MB/s, so it will take a very long time to upload a 1 GB video.

1. What stock are you uploading to?
2. What is your upload speed to the FTP server of this stock?

If your videos are 1 GB each, you're doing it wrong. Compress, compress, compress.

Thanks guys,
I upload to main stocks, what you can see in the collumn on the right: SS, adobe....
Transfering speed in FileZilla is around 300Kib/s
I also think that my videos are too bulky. How to set daVinci Resolve export to get smaller file? Thanks

Compress 4K with H.264 at 50 - 100 Mbps.

This is a very low speed, so you are loading your file for a long time. You have problems with the Internet or your PC does not give fast speed. When loading 1 file, the speed should be from 2.5 to 6 megabits per second, depending on the stock.

You can of course encode video in H.264 and mov and make the bitrate 100 mb/sec, but the video will not be 10 bits then.

10 bits schmend bits. At the commissions we're paid these days, buyers can have 8-bit videos.

OK, thanks, so in daVinci Resolve when I will render the video I set codec to H.264 and Quality set to Restrict to 100000Kb/s Correct?

PCDMedia · « **Reply #11 on:** December 20, 2024, 11:25 »

H.265/HEVC is a more efficient codec than H.264 and provides greater compression efficiency and better video quality.

The downside is H.265 is more taxing on low-horsepower computers/devices and isn't as widely supported as H.264 but Davicvi Resolve supports it Some stock agencies will accept H.265 clips (Pond5 and ?) but others don't (Adobe and ?).

I think the topic starter doesn't need to upload the video at all, because he doesn't have the Internet. The speed of 300 kilobits per second is only suitable for a small number of photos.
If he really wants to, I recommend compressing the video to HD and making the bitrate 18 megabits per second in H.264.

Shutterstock does not accept this codec. Other stocks accept, but only if it is the original video from the camera. I think buyers will not buy H.265 either, it is an inconvenient codec.

If that’s the best internet you can get in your area, then consider getting starlink if it’s available in your country.

Great news, SS just approved my videos: shutterstock.com/g/OttoPles/video
Those bulky files were not approved, because they are over one minute /1,05/
The lenght is the key factor as well. My 26 second clip is: MOV, 473MB, total bitrate 147000Kb/s
Do you think I can make it smaller? If I set in daVinci Resolve export restriction to 100 000 kb/s the size get app 10% smaller. That the way is suppose to be. Thanks a lot.

1. Reducing the bitrate leads to a reduction in file size, this is an axiom.
2. Bitrate 100 is enough for H.264 codec in your case. You can also set bitrate to 60 and see, I think you won't see any difference.
3. For HD video, a bitrate of 50 is sufficient.
4. Shoot video only with fps 29.97, no need to shoot 25 fps. The main buyers of video are not in the EU.
5. I don't think you need daVinci. Use Adobe Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder to render video.
6. If you don't colorize the video, upload it directly from the camera.

Thanks Stoker2014
now things are much clearer to me. I tried 60Mb/s bitrate and on my 27inch monitor i did not see any differnce.
The question is whether majority of potential buyers look for best quality, or most of them are OK with like 60Mb/s bitrate.
I bought Lumix S5II for video, and noticed, that I can just set frame rate to 25fps, or 50fps/Europe/. No 30fps or 60fps
Mostly I shoot 50fps.
I learned just basics on daVinci, since almost all videos I slow down from 50fps to 25fps.
Also I set my camera: 420/10-L, because I have free version of daVinci. Thanks again

Content is king.

Buyer's #1 priority is does the footage's content meet what they need? If so - they likely would not reject clip due to low bitrate, or other relatively minor quality problems if the footage passed agencies review acceptance checks.

You started the topic by saying that you have a bad internet connection and you need a small file size.
In any case, I don't think you'll see a difference in sales between bitrates of 60, 100 and 150.
On many stocks, the buyer doesn't see the bitrate in the video description.

Ideally, of course, you should shoot in 10 bits (which your camera does) and render the video in the prores 422 codec. Then the buyer will get 10 bits. Any other options are the final video in 8 bits. Usually, for the H.264 codec, many set the bitrate to 100 or 150, I don't see any difference.

Your camera is better suited for photos than for video. Better change it to Panasonic GH7 or GH6.

Read the manual. You need to change the system frequency to 29.97, i.e. to NTSC, if necessary, change the region to the USA. Then you will no longer have 25 and 50 frames, but everything will be in NTSC (i.e. 29.97 and 59.94).

Perhaps your camera can also shoot in 59.94 and immediately convert the video to 29.97. Many Panasonics can do this. But in any case, you can shoot in 59.94 and then convert to 29.97 on your PC. You can also shoot in 8 bits and 10 bits. If you render the video in H.264 and do not do color correction, you can shoot initially in 8 bits.

Thanks Stoker2014,
I checked my camera, no problem to set to NTSC, optical cable for faster internet I will get within 24 months.
In the meantime I will restric bitrate to 80-100Mb/s and I will learn video techniques. I wish you all great light into your lens. Thanks

One of your videos was 1 min and 5 sec... make your videos between 10 and 20 seconds, then you will have much smaller files, most buyers use few seconds from your clip.

Aim for 15 seconds clips

All stocks accept 5 second videos. Why stop!
