Title: Usernames, Review times, and other noobie questions
Post by: elerouxx on April 19, 2016, 08:00

Hi everyone!
I am very happy to have found this group.

I have some newbie questions and I would like to know your opinion in these matters:

- I uploaded some SIX items to Pond5 and VideoHive. No big deal, just good quality images with minimal color grading, not technically or topic-wise controversial - (i.e. a timelapse driving on a road in the country, some angles of bingo balls rolling inside a cage...). However they are sitting there for 10 days now awaiting review. Is this normal? How much time do Pond5 and VideoHive take for review and approval?

- Maybe a dumb question - to those who sell in several sites, do you have a unique username for all of them? Or different names? What do you suggest?

- I also do motion graphics and music, and I intend to sell some motion graphics related 'gigs' in FIVERR. For instance, selling a template AE project in VideoHive and Pond5, and at the same time selling a 'service' in fiverr which is using my own template to produce videos for the clients there (i.e. a photo slideshow). I wonder if you guys are doing such a thing already. Are there any legal problems with this, using my own template, which sells in VH and Pond5, to do gigs online in Fiverr?

Thanks very much for your illumination!

I'm not on Fiverr, but I can tell you it's not unusual for Pond5 reviews to take multiple weeks.
