AI is also bad news for agencies, eventually stock image users will be able to download cheap versions of AI software and get the images they want without paying subscriptions. In the medium term, AI will not only kill the contributors but also the agencies
It will not kill and will not even create competition. I dealt with one program that converts HD to 4k and removes any noise from the video, but it needs a very powerful PC to work, and even on a powerful PC it takes a lot of time. As a result, the cost of a PC and electricity will block the profit.

One can easily rent a cloud GPU at very cheap price.
ok, when you rent it and create something there, tell me.

I opened a new AS account two months ago and in the first few days I was able to upload about 500 videos without any problems and very quickly.
But since about four weeks almost no video is accepted from me. Mostly 10/10 media end up in the "data problem" folder. Sometimes only 9/10 and sometimes only 6/10.
I can upload almost no more video.
SS accepts the same videos all. They are technically ok.
Have already written to support twice, but they won't tell me what this "data problem" is : "Unfortunately I cannot provide you with specifics on each rejection."
Can anyone tell me what this means?
With what program do you upload the video and in how many streams? Upload videos in no more than 3 streams.

Do I need model release or personal property for rose image?
No.

Times have changed in the stock imagery industry. Mediocre and below quality work just doesn't cut it anymore to consistently earn the big dollars.
On SS yes, on other stocks no. On other stocks, you can continue to consistently earn money. But here its not even about the quality of the portfolio, I was just surprised by the amount for the video, which no one had seen on this forum before. We never knew there were commissions like this on SS. And even more so at a time when the income of the majority decreased by 2-3 times.
And I do not think that you are right in your conclusions. The stock industry initially does not imply professionalism, it is an amateur market. Prices for stock content are far from the prices for professional work.

And I just want to say, for any disbelievers, I have seen another video commission from SS as large as Pace's.
To believe or not to believe is a personal matter, as in religion, the church. But a link to a screenshot of the income from the SS would be the best confirmation.
But all this is not very important, it is enough that we saw at least one screenshot in this thread. Previously, such income was only on the getty, but now the unprofitable SS has shown such income. All this is extremely strange and not fair. Most of the creators suffer from a lack of sales, and someone gets $ 800 for one video. SS breaks another bottom!

If you're smart enough,  you'll find my ports easily  ;)
Did your stock income increase after uploading to tiktok?

1108
If you're smart enough,  you'll find my ports easily  ;)
I dont need it, the main thing is that buyers find you.

1109
We were discussing about tiktok here   :)
Yes, tiktok is not the network where you can advertise videos from stocks. Only unless to find buyers directly.
But, perhaps, you can add your nickname on the stocks to the tags, and also indicate the stock nickname during registration. Then people will be able to search by this nickname and find you on stocks.
Perhaps you did.

1110
And on Instagram, you can also add links to the video.

1111
It is not allowed to add link in video.
On YouTube you can add, on Pinterest you can, on Twitter you can. You mean there.

1112
I have 45k followers on TikTok account full of aerial timelapses. Tried to add Pond5 affiliate link on my profile but never got any luck.
And if you add a link to the video on pond5 in the description of the video in tiktok?

And how on Pond5, do they often buy laps from a drone?

Drawings, cartoons, I don't see any threat. And I don't see any threat to the video at all. I can imagine how long it takes to fiddle with the program in order to describe what you need, to quickly buy a ready-made real photo. And what kind of software resources are involved, how much is it in terms of time, in terms of costs, I'm not talking about creating a video.

1114
It LEARNS from other workand creates it's own content.
It will still be necessary to check whether he creates his own content or takes other people's work as a basis. So, if he takes your photos as a basis, then the stock should still pay you for this. I'm not talking about the fact that the rules forbid creating content based on someone else's work, for such a ban and judge.

1115
Videos will probably take more time. Maybe so long that it won't be a thread to current stock videographers in their lifetime. But one day.
I agree with your conclusion. Everything else is of no interest to me. Arguing for the sake of arguing is pointless. When stocks start offering videos created by AI, then well talk and see what a video competitor has appeared there.

1116
Video has already started
https://makeavideo.studio/
1. This is just research. It is also not clear how everything works there, it is quite possible that in the final video they use fragments of someone else's video, and this is a copyright infringement and no one will sell it on stocks.
2. There is no such thing in stock agencies and is not planned.
3. Everything on this site is cartoons, i.e. animation. Yes, perhaps those stockers who create animation or 3D rendering in 10 years will begin to feel competition in this segment.
4. I'm creating a live stock video and I don't see any threats.
5. Yes, it is quite possible that there will be many such sites, but these will not be stock agencies, and the content there will be extremely specific, it will definitely not be my buyers who will buy there. And how copyright issues will be resolved there is another question.

1117
Dall-e I think. Just wait.
Wake up when they start. If we all live to see that time.

1118
I shoot video, I don't face these problems.
Some of these sites said their next step is video, Dall-e I think. Just wait.
Rhetorical questions...
1. After how many decades?
2. What will be the demand for artificial cartoon video?
3. Can you imagine what processing power a stock should have in order to generate not a photo, but a video, in 4K format and with a normal bitrate.
4. The video has always been different from the photo, I think there will be no problems for sure in the coming decades.

1119
I shoot video, I don't face these problems.

1120
and is there something similar for vidoes as well?
No.
On YouTube, someone can use in their projects. On different TV channels or even in movies. I tracked a similar topic on other forums, usually the video was found by chance by one of the authors, and there could be videos from other authors. Now a lot of people create different videos from a bunch of footage bought on stocks, but its not clear how to search for your video.

You say that you live in Amsterdam - so my advice is to take advantage of it.
Marijuana for example.  8) From cultivation to consumption (smoking)!

It's bad that the canva does not accept video.

These are all from Blackbox, but as SS is the only place that does licenses that high, then they may as well be screenshots of SS earnings... but just 15% higher. Will that do you?
No. This is a juggling of some facts. Such licenses are on the Getty for example. And most likely it was sold to the Getty or Alami.
I have to add you to ignore, because. you write flood, troll and write lies.

From your experience? No, that's not enough! Please tell me you're not basing "Usually the authors by March-June (someone like) already reach the normal percentage of deductions" purely based on when you 'reach the normal percentage of reductions'?

Surely you're getting the point by now... opinions and personal experiences are fine but don't present them as facts unless they are facts. 'I reach the normal percentage of reductions by around March to June'... fine. 'Usually the authors by March-June (someone like) already reach the normal percentage of deductions'... not fine, unless you have some stats that are not available to the rest of us.
I do not respond to flood. Therefore, I will not dignify you with an answer.
