Title: Using Stocksubmitter with two different P5 accounts?
Post by: dragonblade on July 02, 2020, 00:50
Just wondering if it's possible to use Stocksubmitter with two different Pond 5 accounts? I currently have an exclusive P5 account and a non exclusive P5 account. And Stocksubmitter submits to the non exclusive P5 account at the moment as well as a few other agencies.

Alternatively, I guess I could open up a second Stocksubmitter account and use that one just for the exclusive P5 account?

Hi DragonBlade,
I think it could be solved by setting up a custom FTP account in StockSubmitter for each Pond5 account.

You can set up profiles in the agencies' settings for different sets of accounts on the agencies' websites.

Chrisroll and Niakris, I'd like to consider both of those options. How exactly would I go about doing those things? Step by step instructions would be good though with regards to setting up profiles at a particular agency, I guess I had better ask Pond 5 how to manage that.

With Stocksubmitter, I recently opened up a second account which I planned to use specifically for the exclusive Pond 5 account. Though that didn't work. When the program opened, all the agencies with their respective settings were already selected and visible from my other account.

Please open the agencies settings dialog in StockSubmitter and create a new profile in the top left corner of the window.
After that you will be able to set up another set of accounts and then switch between them with ease using the drop-down list there (make sure you restart the program after switching the profiles though).

As of the second option (Custom FTP) - yes, you can set up the second Pond5 account as a custom FTP (use one of the "Custom FTP N" entries in the list), but it will be uploading your files only, without automatic submission.
