Title: Changes in their digestion of editorials?
Post by: Axel Lauer on December 27, 2013, 13:18
Hi,
does someone knows anything about changes in their policy or submission-system regarding editorials?

Since twoday they seem to reject editorials if they do not have modelreleases - paradox!
Note of a reviewer:
"No model/property release on file for this clip; may be suitable for editorial (news and documentary) usage only." If that's the case, please indicate it in the Note to Curator and resubmit your file"

Since there is no way to mark images / clips as editorial in the submission process and you probably can not send a message to a reviewer before you upload and submit it looks like they expect you to upload every batch a second time.

I am a real fan of Pond5 - hopefully they dont start to become as inconsistent and unreliable like others.

regards axel

Just write in Additional Info, Curator notes: "Editorial". It works for me.

We dont tag manually because this would need to much time with bigger bulks.
We use IPTC embedded in the image and for clips we use the CSV-import.

CSV contains:
Clipid,OriginalFilename,Copyright,Price,name,City,Region,Country,Created,Keywords,KeywordsCheckbox,PublicBin,Description,ImageType

No Additional Info, Curator notes.

Although there seems to be no way to batchtag after you applied a CSV.

If you use CSV as well it would be nice if you tell me what i missed
