Right, stock site without IPTC reading is just not ready. Who will waste time for testing new site which is so time consuming? Most of us prepared images with iptc data to not waste time over and over again with every new site. Upload must be easy and fast this days. We have a lot of work to do with "expanding portfolios" ;)
Btw. Lately I get invitations 1-5 times in a week. Is there new trend? New site must be really amazing, must offer something really exceptional to find authors and get clients from competition sites (big players).

Isn't this under the video forum?

AFAIK, there is no IPTC data associated with video clips. Why is everyone complaining about that?

I wish your new site will be successful and pressure Shutterstock and others to raise the royalty rate from 30% to 40%+.

I assign data in bridge to video and it shows up just fine on the other end.

The other end? So there are microstock video sites that read this data?

I use Bridge to add a few keywords to video files just for my own use, but I've never had any of them filter through to any of the sites I UL to.

Oh, I see. AE doesn't pass those keywords through.  I just used Bridge to look at the files I actually UL (as output by AE), and none of them contain keyword data. 

I've never paid any attention to this because, as I wrote, I had been under the impression that .mov files don't contain IPTC data. I guess I have more to learn, as usual.

I joined US,I don't mind the upload process where I don't have thousands of images to upload I kinda like to take my time at uploading. Hey,I've already sold one file,probably  from someone there but the 50% is what I like.I feel it's a fair deal.

I checked it out and at least in Firefox it was really buggy. I tried looking in different categories and it kept defaulting to "all content." I tried "download preview" to see what that produced and it put me back to "all content" again.

Can't get search to work either it just heads back to all content or times out.

I'll try again some other time, but thought you'd want to get our impressions. Since I can't really get a sense of the work that is on there past the first "all content" page, it's hard to know if the site is worth trying at this point but I wish anyone trying to treat creatives fairly the best of luck!
