Is Stocksubmitter safe?

SS is not the most popular software obviously because of its niche nature so avast doesn't have enough data about it from theis users. It just the way antiviruses work. Depending on your settings it could prevent your computer from working as it supposed to.
And StockSubmitter updates constantly, could be twice a day or more to provide advertised features for supported agencies which change something every now and then, and also adding new features. But you don't have to update every time, just cross your fingers and hope that this time it was not the stock agency you uploading to changed something on their website:)

Its Avast is still blocking it. I would add an exception to its settings or temporarily turn it off, start the program and then back turn on avast. That's the reason I don't use avast or AVG any more. At least 3 of my daily used software was blocked from time to time even after I added them to exceptions.

Yes, exactly! Thank you for the detailed explanation :)
Unfortunately, there is no way around this for a niche software like StockSubmitter.

Then a pop up message appeared that said: "Please avoid submitting more than 10 - 20 products per day to CreativeMarket as it may result in your account on CreativeMarket being banned!"
What on earth is CreativeMarket?

They don't have a review process so they're very serious about those who spam their account with hundreds of images, especially if they're using tools like StockSubmitter to make it easier.
That's a recommendation.

Does SS do a decent job of the conversion? Some of my videos do have the h264 codec but I doubt the bitrate of these clips would be high enough for an uncompressed codec like Photojpeg.

AFAIK, Pond5 does now support H.264.
