Hi. Does anyone selling vertical videos had any notable sales of these?
The basic question is - does a native vertical video appeals more to the social media video creator than a horizontal video that's cropped during editing?
I have a pretty large (8,000+) portfolio that can be cropped and scaled (DaVinci Resolve new tools are just fantastic)
But it will take considerable amount of work.
Wondering if it's worth the effort...

Why don't you just choose the best 300 files and upload them?
It all depends a lot on the content, not just the format. Old people doing yoga, families shopping together, young people working out is different from pretty flowers in the wind.

Yes, do it, it's worth it from my experience! But don't bother with sites where the video is displayed on its side. Do it for Adobe Stock where vertical video is displayed correctly. iStock also displays vertical videos correctly but the royalties are a lot lower.

Hi. In my port vertical beauty videos sells better than horisontal. Nature and travel - horisontal are better. That is, it all depends on the theme, as Jasmin already said.
But you should keep in mind that vertical ones are almost always sold with cheap licenses. Their income is very small.

We need to decide who buys such a video. This is probably just for Instagram and tiktok. My camera allows me to shoot with the open gate and I can do both horizontal and vertical video. But I don't shoot vertical video yet.
If your content is suitable for Instagram and TikTok, of course upload a vertical video to stock.

Do yous send a shot of the same video with a horizontal and vertical version? Adobe Stock or Istock won't consider it spam? Is it allowed?
-
If they are two independently recorded clips, why not?
Or do you mean cutting a vertical video out of a horizontal clip?
-
Graphic animators do two versions. Horizontal and vertical. What if we shoot a video of the same shot and crop to vertical versions as well? I'm curious about your opinions. Isn't it spammy?
-
If you shoot in open gate, you can make two videos from one video, one will be vertical and the other horizontal. But, open gate is more likely for the convenience of shooting vertical video. I don't make vertical video, I'm not sure it will sell. But you can load 2 versions on Adobe or IStock. Adobe doesn't ban you for similarities.

BTW
It is very surprising that neither Shutterstock nor StoryBlocks will accept vertical video is vertical format at this time...

What about Pond5, does it display correctly?

Yes it does.

No it doesn't

I've had a few rare vertical video sales on Adobe Stock and Pond5 in the past probably.
