General - Stock Video / The Most Sellable Video Compression Format
« on: August 19, 2018, 16:33 »
Searching for wisdom of the video microstock contributors group here. I have a stockpile of video Im preparing to process and upload to all the usual suspects. Each micorstock company provides a list of acceptable video formats. Some provide the order they prefer. The video I shot is both on a Red and a Canon DSLR 4K. Obviously, the beauty lies in range editors making the video purchase have to color correct and composite this colorspace in ProRes and ProResHQ.
I noticed Brightontl mentioned he conducted a search for top-selling 4K videos. This showed few actually selling in the ProRes format family. I spent the morning checking myself - totally spot on - very few on the top pile. My question is: Does it help video sales to submit footage in a more widely acceptable, compressed format such a JPEG or H.264? Or in the group's opinion is the demand for less compressed 4K noticeably on the rise?
