Title: Is it OK to resubmit at Pond5?
Post by: click_click on June 02, 2016, 15:09
After 9 years I got my first footage rejections at Pond5. I don't agree with th reasons given as the quality has increased compared to previously submitted clips.

Has anyone experience with resubmitting a previously rejected clip and how relaxed is Pond5 handling such a case? Do they shut your account down once they see that a rejected clip is resubmitted or do you just get a warning or something?

Thanks in advance.

I had numerous resubmissions of previosly rejected footage. Usually the second or rarely third is OK since there is almost no review process now at all IMO. A friend of mine had a long discussion about rejected videos of aquarium and finally got almost all videos accepted without any second submissions (there were about 20 clips). I can suggest you to use live chat with support here, they are quite friendly: https://help.pond5.com/hc/en-us/requests/new (https://help.pond5.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)

When I was uploading there I never had a problem with reps, got most accepted.  Haven't uploaded video for a while though since the high rejections started.
