Since support do not answer anything intelligible.
Ask here.
What about extended license, how buyer can buy it and how our commission will be calculated, will we receive higher commission for that or what, your support believe that your license is for all purposes and can't tell me the answer, and after 2 reply stop respond at all.
So here the place for improvements.
and make lower sizes of video automatically or at least when upload make thing to connect it without writing a ticket to support.

Photos: Upload and edit .... is too hard ... i have only 100 images on line.

I have 500 or more waiting and edit the site is slow and it is difficult to do well in batches.

Many fields to fill and should be sufficient to put keywords, MReleases and price.

I have not been able to get on the site for over a week, is there a problem I'm not aware of?  USA state of Massachusetts if that helps.

all i can say is, with all the gnashing of teeth we have been hearing lately here and in all the other forums, it is good to hear someone is making money.
it sends positive energy to all of us, as we rise when u rise , and we sink when u sink !!! (Tagore..my universal teacher  )

Congrats. So, what is the story with Pixmac? Are they closing it? It seems to still exist, but mostly just redirects to Pond5.

Since this thread is a little old and some Pond5 has recently released some video promos that show an increased dedication to video licensing above all other content types, I think it may be worth repeating ere that something they can improve upon would be paying more attention to images.

Right now I'm not even sure why Pond5 even bothered bringing vectors into the mix. They hardly sell and from the looks of Pond5 promos they don't really have much interest in marketing them to their customers.

If selling non-video content is really something they want to do in any real way, they really need to improve upon how they present it, promote it, market it, and prioritize it.

While I think It's great that you have gotten all this money today - the fact is they screwed up, and in actuality have owed you this money for months (as per your other thread).

While the base rate (financial bank rate) is only ~1%. About 10$ missed? Sorry i am so bad in math :)

so long as there is admission they screwed up , it is better than silence like with some other site ( no name mentioned, u know which one).
but the important thing is as max points out... in his one comment before this one,
any one who is doing well as an alternative is always better for all of us.

No, It's 0.1% per year over here, so the loss is a whooping 25 cents!

@PhotoBomb : Please dont turn a good news into a bad one.

Pond5 is the fairest and nicest agency so far and they do great with videos, give them sometime with images, they have limited human resources and that's why they can still afford to pay us a fair %. They need our support more than any others current agencies, IMHO.

not with P5 yet. but i have to concur with Max. it is good news , let's celebrate it with PB.
one being successful with P5 means other can too.

It looks like Pond5 has made progress in a lot of the areas discussed here.

I know this thread is old, but in case you're still reading Pond5, here's my top annoyance (which have been mentioned by others):
Having to upload the same video clip in different resolutions, making double or triple the work. Especially troublesome with large 4K files.

Any developments on the auto-convert feature?

Any movement on stopping the conversion of all capital lowers into lower case?

Ha ha ha.
