Which agencies accept editorial video?

I think, Shutter, Pond5, Deposit and Dreamstime do. Correct? Are there any others?

Thanks!

Adobe Stock / Re: What's your weekly ranking and how many images?

This is probably my best rank as well. Mostly due to one(!) valentine's image. It sold 500+ times in its first year, 300+ in the second and now 200+ in the 3rd year. Despite there being already 7000 copies... Many even copying my exact title...

Eyeem made a killing with that, 

EyeEm never even made a profit! They went bankrupt, remember?

I had no sales reported between Jan 24th and Feb 3rd, so roughly the same period as you.

If the merger goes as planned, GETY / SSTK will have 70% of the photo market. Because of the archives and the collections, they will also control some specific images. If they are the biggest and most complete agency, combined, they can also control the prices for their images.

Canva can't offer those images, and the free sites can't either. Some of Adobes images, might be unique as artists have stopped supplying IS and SS.

Interesting post by someone who knows:  https://petapixel.com/2025/01/12/stock-photographys-crossroads-can-a-getty-shutterstock-merger-fix-it/

AI: The Elephant in the Room
"To stay relevant, Getty/Shutterstock must find ways to better integrate AI capabilities into their platforms."

"70% of the photo market" Where did you get that number from? Plugged it out of thin air?

And Canva already has all Getty images!

You were already told on Reddit that you cannot sell images that you did not create yourself!

-255,3% sales number  -189,7% earnings 

Wow, you are terrible at math!

-100% would mean you had NO sales and NO earnings. You can't get lower than that.

 :D -100% is simply the percentage you earned less than another figure....such as 9375894646853!  :D

9375894646853 -100% = 0

Maybe you should spend mor time to investigate the "math system" instead of your imageined " adobe sales system" .

Non-Ai video review times are fast, like a couple of days. AI videos are about a month.

Thanks!

How long video reviews currently take? Just want to know if it's still feasable to upload holiday content or if I'm too late.

Just to hopefully debunk some of the theories I see here  :D: I never offered free images and since 2000 I upload around 20 files per year and I'm still regularly below rank 4000 with less than 1k files.

Fotolia wasn't even founded in 2000...

DepositPhotos / "custom sale" on DP
« on: August 06, 2024, 00:01 »
I received a "custom sale" for $8,57 on August 2nd. Without a file ID or thumbnail. Maybe some payment for AI training? Did anyone else get a custom sale?

Is the "no nudity" clause new? It used to be allowed if the MR included a photo ID, wasn't it?

I have upload more than 100000 AI files to adobe stock. And I have developed some tools to help me to get it.
Such as
keywording automatically.
upscaling automatically.
remove the background automatically.
Upload automatically.

SO if you have some questions, You can ask me.

Just one question: How many $$$ per month do you make with that strategy?

16
You set up Stocksubmitter wrong! In the agency settings you can selects if you want to sell the rights or not.

Strange how they sell 1000 licenses for 5 USD and pay you 14 USD for those 1000 licenses, looks hot deal for them, lol

You get 5$ for 1000 FREE downloads, or 0,5 Cents per FREE download.

I dont upload to their free section!

I make around $15 per month. Not great, but I take it. Average RPD is 14 Cents for me.

You have an RPD of 1 Cent? Did you upload to the free section? Because they even pay you 0,5 Cent for every free download!

( Here is my referral link if anybody wants to try them out themselves: https://www.vecteezy.com/contributors?ref=cd615833-b630-4c15-a417-6018c266c5c3&sub_id=default )

I don't have anything for free. But getting paid 1 pence per download, that's not something I will consider.

I am NOT getting paid 1 "pence" per download... My RPD is 14 Cent.

You asked for experiences and I shared mine.

Bummer.  Can't show a person's face on Dreamstime on AI generated photos.

True. Each agency has their own guidelines.

Vecteezy only accepts photorealistic AI images.

Freepik seems to accept everything ecept for nsfw stuff. And (in my case) brings in the most $$$ of the 3 agencies.

21
Is it worth uploading AI to vecteezy?

Yes. My best selling image on Vecteezy is AI generated.

General Stock Discussion / model releases without wittness
« on: January 29, 2024, 04:58 »
As most of you probably know the new Getty model releases do not require a witness anymore.

And although Adobe releases still have a witness section, their website says they do not require a witness signature if the model is not a minor.

Do any of you know if and which other agencies accept model release without witness signature?

25
Try: https://vision.imstocker.com/

It can be also used with IMS Studio that gives ability to save result of recognition directly inside the files. It very convenient for batch processing. Alternatively, you can export metadata to popular CSV formats

It actually works quite well!

But when I delete keywords from the list, and "new" keywords are populated, often the same (previously deleted) keywords pop up again... That doesn't make much sense.
