In the USA, the power grid frequency is 60 Hz, which means there will be 60 half frames and 30 frames, respectively.
Blackbox is a lie.
You live in your own illusions. But yes, load 60 and 120, then tell us about your successes.

Yes.  But not relevant at all.

Still waiting for the stats to back up your claims.  As for loading 60, already have. Well over a thousand.  They sell just fine.  No difference to my 24/25 or 30 fps.

gnirtS, don't mislead people.
I only focus on the portfolios of top authors and the results of communication with those who uploaded videos with fps 60. I have already written my conclusions.
I categorically disagree with your texts in this topic. I am sure that you are a theorist who fantasizes here.

Mislead?!  You made claims.  Twice i asked for data supporting those claims and none was given.  So lets try it again, show your figures to back it.

So lets see the "communications".  (Note, voices in your head are not valid communications)

So show your workings

You're allowed to disagree but you're also making random claims without any supporting data at all.  I believe thats known as fantasy.

You've also shown a complete lack of understanding of anything in the modern video world regarding standards, framerates, formats, editing and in addition called the data from one of the largest stock submitters "lies".  So again, show your working.

In this thread you are trying to prove something to me. So let's post screenshots of your statistics here so that people can see which video of yours was sold and what fps it has. You need to post links to your sold video here in the thread to see its fps, and you should also post screenshots here confirming that your video with 60 fps was sold.
As for me, I am not proving anything to anyone here. I just told you that you are writing nonsense and that you can upload whatever you want to stocks.
But if you want someone to listen to you and believe you, then you need to post your screenshots.

I don't owe you anything, and I'll most likely add you to my ignore list.

odesigns is greyed out. what happened?


I've been wondering about this as well, Jasmine.

His last post was on January 14th.

The deletion of his account seemed to coincide with the news about the Getty and SS merger. Could this have been the final blow to his journey as a stock creator?

Additionally, his website is no longer functioning.

It's a shame he's gone. His depth of knowledge and experience were valuable assets to this forum.

Im going with "I made a batshit claim at odds with data, unable to back it up, dont like being challenged so now going to hide away from scrutiny" then.

People seem to be blaming everything on a merger that (i) hasnt had any details finalised (ii) nothing signed (iii) no regulator approval and (iii) unlikely to happen at all this year or even further years.

Most likely is the timing is purely coincidental.

If his website is gone, that sounds really serious.

I hope it is not a health issue or worse.

I sincerely hope so too.

I will miss his contribution to this forum.

Has anyone seen him on pond5 forums? Or had private contact with him?

I just hope he is ok and just taking a timeout to restart the year.

But the change on the website is weird, how will clients find him?

At least his p5 port is still there

Whatever happened, I hope he recovers soon.

Same here, serious downtrend. I have 1060 videos on Pond5. I uploaded some photos to Shutterstock (about 40 pictures) in 2016. Never checked my account and forgot about it, found out I have $43.00. I didn't care in the past because I was so busy freelancing and didn't need the money. But now, I have a lot of free time, and I'm going to upload my stills. I have a good mix of commercial and editorial footage.

The main thing that gives me anxiety is how many images I have and that it will take a while, maybe a year or more to get ALL of my stills and video on all three platforms: Adobe, Shutterstock and iStock. I have to wait for the Pond5 videos, because I was on an exclusive contract with them, and a lot of that is my best video footage.

I figured that I should enjoy the process, and re-visit the historical moments captured in my editorial footage and appreciate the beauty of the underwater and nature stuff.

I'm still trying to decide whether the underwater stuff should be commercial or editorial, but I feel like editorial on Shutterstock and the same stuff on Adobe and iStock can be sold as commercial. From what I understand, the commercial stuff on Shutterstock CANNOT be used as editorial, so i'll go both ways on separate platforms.

I'm mostly excited and curious as to what footage gets popular, that it will be used as content and that's pretty cool to me. It seems (but I may be wrong) that i'll still be only making a few dollars per month once all is said and done. But, money isn't free so I guess it's worth the effort, lol.

Why not? Where does SS say that?

cascoly, under your nickname is written the phrase "Premium Member". So maybe you will correspond to the status of the guru of this forum, and start writing on the topic. Do you have something to say on the topic?
Or have you decided to flood and troll?  ;D ;D ;D

Dear friends,

Let us offer Shutterstock a round of applause, congratulating them for their hard work and persistence.

It took a little while but Shutterstock's diligence and consistency finally paid off in the end - having successfully achieved their aim of destroying Pond5 after their successful ruin of Shutterstock.   

Very well done, a feat seldom accomplished by other microstock agencies.
