By now, you should have received an email about the 2020 bonus program for Adobe Stock artists. We are switching the program up this year.

Instead of the number of uploads being the qualifier, it's going to be the number of downloads. Contributors with more than 150 downloads between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2020 will receive a bonus code for their chose of Creative Cloud Photography plan or a single app which yes, one of those apps to choose from is Illustrator if you are a vector artist or Premiere if you are a video producer.

For those of you that have 5,000 or more downloads this year we'll be providing you with a code for the all-apps Creative Cloud. Still images count as 1 download, video licenses count as 8 downloads by the way.

You can see all the details here for additional information: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/royalty-details.html

Let me know if you have any questions,

Mat Hayward

You might want to edit the date year 2010???

By the way thanks Adobe

Super awesome and thank you!

Hi,
You said between Jan 1 and Dec 31, but now is just Match, and I get code? Thank you, but...?

is there any way to see total points (images + video x 8 ) downloads?

because if we select "This year" it count all video downloads as 1 not 8.

btw. it will be much harder to get All Apps than it was before. Only one year for 5000 downloads...

So 625 video downloads?    Has anyone here been able to do that, ever?

Great News Matt.

The total downloads can be a combination of asset types. 100 video downloads plus 4,200 photos for example would be the same as 5,000 total downloads and qualify for the all apps plan.

The bonus code you recently received is most likely from your efforts in 2019. The bonus program I am announcing today is for 2020.

Thanks for the bonus program opportunity this year.

However, I already know that I won't be eligible for the All Apps plan, because there's no way I will hit that magic 5000+ download number by the end of the year...Especially when the corona crisis is hitting the economy hard.

Edit: not sure if this means I should hit 5000 new downloads in 1 year, or I should hit the 5000 number of All Time downloads?

Thanks, Mat! This is great news!

Since 1 video DL counts as 8 DLs, maybe it's time to talk to the technical team and ask them to create a filter for video DLs and earnings. There is no way to segregate video DLs and earnings from the totals.

Hello Mat. Does the contributor who has over 5000 sales ''need'' Creative Cloud full membership? I think this is not good. Maybe it can be change as there may be 1 application for 150 downloads and other 1 application for the other 150 downloads(...)
5000 is too much. means 13-14 downloads per day.

I asked it but got ignored.

Mat, one more question: it's likely that I will hit 5,000+ DLs for 2020 around July-August. I only have the Photography plan. Will I be able to upgrade to the full package earlier?

It doesn't look like it.

"Bonuses2 will be determined in January 2021, and codes issued in February 2021."

I guess it will be an automated response / delivery system for the codes etc that will happen in the above time frame.

It's a great question but no, the codes will be distributed in February, 2021 for all qualified artists.

Now is as good a time as any to revisit this particular feature request however so I will be sending it off to the development team again for consideration.

Thanks for the feedback everyone,

Too bad.
I like Davinci Resolve but I think that there was a chance to be hooked by Premiere Pro and After Effects, before I learn to love Davinci too much! 

Anyway, the initiative is really appreciated!
Thanks again!

Thanks Mat... great to see this become a regular thing.

Liking the new, "Full package" plan, seems a fair achievable scale.... the more you put in the more you get out. Also, illustrators will now be able to get both packages... Illustrator on it's own or via the full package. Always seemed harsh for those guys in the past.

This almost rings the bell of "Redeemed Credits Redux".

I thought I was doing good, but just realized I am nowhere near the goal for downloads. Time to adjust my style or something hmmmm...

So my question is  this.
For the last two years I have qualified for the Bonus (thank you Adobe)
My plan when I was paying for it ran from Oct to Oct.
According to my Adobe account page I will be charged for a year on Oct 29.
I already have qualified for a new code for the photography plan under the new guidelines -  but If I don't get a new code until Feb will I have to pay for my plan between Oct and Feb when I get a new code?

Thanks

I only submit videos footage and my first thought is that's a really high number, especially compared to the bonus programs of the past couple years.

I have a portfolio of 9000+ videos and I've always though that I have a wide variety of high quality videos, but I've never had 625 sales in a year.

It also doesn't help that my sales have been going down pretty significantly since last October.

Yes, there will likely be a gap for many that qualified in 2019 between the time the 2019 bonus subscription ends and the 2020 codes are issued. This is part of the reason for an earlier announcement this year so you can plan accordingly.

Thank you,

Mat
