I'm very curious to learn where the group is in the sync process. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
For those that didn't know it was an option, you can sync your Fotolia account with the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal via contributor.stock.adobe.com

Is there anyway to see on the Sales page if the sale occurred on Adobe Stock or Fotolia? I've tried to find detail on both sites and can't seem to find that information.
No, the location where the sale originated is not differentiated. Commissions for sales that happened in Adobe Stock are immediately added to your Fotolia account and commissions for sales that happened in Fotolia are immediately added to your balance in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal. -Mat

Hi guys!
Maybe I missed it, but is there any kind of option to change thumbnail image on my accepted videos?
Not at this time. -Mat

Thanks for the numbers @beboy, that's helpful. Adobe Stock does not sell .svg files. Those will remain only visible at Fotolia.
Kind regards,
Mat

Hello guys!
Recently I noticed thata very large number of files are missing from my AdobeStock portfolio contributor page https://stock.adobe.com/fr/contributor/3500/beboy showing only 4,401 while I have 12,988 at https://fr.fotolia.com/p/3500
Are they selecting only the best from your portfolio? anyone facing the same issue?
and most importantly what happened to the great support service at Fotolia.com?
Will you email me a few image numbers of files that you do see in your Fotolia portfolio but not your Adobe Stock portfolio? My email address is [email protected]. thanks, Mat

I know that I am off topic, but as this thread is active I will ask here.
When I have 1 image accepted I receive 1 email.
When I have 100 images acceptes I receive 100 emails!! (and it becomes kind of spam)
Why Adobe does not regroup all the acceptance notification mails in one (or daily) as all other sites do?
(Or is it a way to look "different" :p )
This has been discussed. I can't say if or when it will be changed but I can say that I'm in your corner on this one and will continue to push for it. -Mat

Mat was so busy being awesome for us, his shooting was sadly limited.
Haha, he did use my least favourite word 'awesome' rather a lot. But then hit a matchwinner with 'conversating'! I've never heard that one before.
Nevertheless, they were really interesting videos: educational and inspiring so thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for the awesome feedback  -Mat

while you are reading and answering questions, is there any way to get useful statistics on sales - like how many sales for how much in a given month on Adobe - or else a way to open up access to the Fotolia interface for all? I am pleased to report I have enough sales that I really don't want to have to add them up by hand (of course that is anything more than 1 sale for me).
I'm in San Francisco this week meeting with engineers from all around the world to discuss Contributor Portal features and contributor requests. Stats are at the top of the list and I hope to have an update for you in the not-too-distant-future. -Mat

Yes...while we're on the topic, I find the keyword ordering a time consuming extra step. I use Lightroom which orders keywords alphabetically. After upload, I must manually change keyword order. It would benefit everyone if keywords were all weighted equally, then as downloads occur based on certain keywords, the website would create it's own keyword weighting over time...not only easier for contributors, but actually better because weighting would be based on real data, not just the contributors guesses.
I agree, it's a bummer keywords are alphabetized in Lightroom. I've asked about this and I don't anticipate it changing in the future. In my personal workflow, I do my RAW conversions in LR then finish everything in PS. I use Bridge to add my keywords where the order is not changed. -Mat

@mat - Not sure if Adobe is trying to do this with ai rather than manually for the foreseeable future, but I would +1 the custom thumbnail suggestion as well.
Yep, that's a big request and it has been noted. Thanks again, Mat

I am trying to correct the keywords on already uploaded videos to match the relevance by order. I am using this URL to fix the files in Portfolio: https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/en/portfolio/videos
I am not able to copy paste anything, I have to do it manually for every file and order them individually only even from the same batch. Pasting and pressing enter does nothing in any box. The interface is not the same as in the submission /keywording page for new files. Hope that clears it up.
I understand now. Yes, the edit function for content already online is not as convenient as the actual indexing tool. I don't recommend you have your standard workflow setup to edit keywords after approval. I don't anticipate the functionality of that tool getting much better any time in the near future. You are going to have a much easier time getting the keywords in proper order before submitting for review. -Mat

Mat, thanks for posting the blog. Great to see!
Did you shoot at the location? Is there a video showing you in action?
I snapped a few photos but not many, the videos I linked to in my recent post show my personal workflow during a shoot. https://theblog.adobe.com/from-shoot-to-sale-part-1/-Mat

Super cool! Next time video contributors!
It's funny you should mention that...we are in the process of planning a video for videographers as I'm typing this
What other types of videos would y'all like to see? I've got a few ideas in the works and would love some more suggestions!
-Mat
Please! Anything but corporate videos with cheese models and shiny modern interiors! Well, the real world is outside with real people...
@fritz I appreciate your feedback. It was the point I was trying to make at the beginning...take advantage of the opportunities unique to your world..if you manage a cool jazz bar that is dark and seedy in New Orleans then create content there and it will scream authenticity. I work at Adobe so what you saw is my real world...granted, the San Jose office buildings are a bit fancier than Seattle but regardless, that is a location that is unique to Adobe. When I first saw those buildings, my jaw dropped to the floor and I knew I wanted to do a shoot there. FYI, I did do a series of videos in a home setting a while back. You can check them out here if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=yk5ciGLEk80https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=NaEdpdct6BUThanks again for , please keep the suggestions coming! -Mat

Thanks for posting this Mat!
If you're going to profile videographers, I think it would be great to see a series about top contributors producing stock footage at different scales:
-Full stock production studio
-Solo stock shooter working full-time
-Part-time stock shooter, etc.
It would be fascinating to know the similarities between them that help them to succeed, as well as major differences. Their workflows, investments, sustainability, etc.
It seems like (anyone correct me if I'm way off) the majority of active members on microstockgroup fall into the solo producer / part-time stock shooter category, so it would be great to peak into the processes of those who might not post here as actively.
Other than that - I would be very interested in seeing videos about the people that actually buy stock footage. Case studies that could help contributors better understand the actual needs of buyers - how they find the footage their looking for, how we might be able to provide more in demand content to them, etc.
Lastly - I think everyone would like to see more data. Pulling back the curtain on how best to succeed on Adobe based off of actual numbers and statistics that aren't often provided by stock agencies. I'm sure a lot of this is confidential, but would be fascinating to know more about search algorithms and such.
Thanks again!
These are outstanding requests! I will do my best to get as much of this done as I possibly can! -Mat

@MatHayward
Thanks, Mat but I am not talking about the recent new uploads. I am trying to order all my previous footage keywords as I uploaded this footage with the keywords from my CSV which is not ordered by relevance. Adobe/Fotolia uses keyword order of importance which is now forcing me to order these. If you guys could add a way to copy and paste keywords in blocks it would be a real lifesaver for older uploads. I have thousands left to order and with the current interface, it is really a slow and painful process which could be streamlined if we had the same interface as recent uploads to fix the older ones. Any help would be appreciated. 
I'm not sure I follow your thought process here. By pasting keywords in blocks are you wanting to paste the first 7 keywords so they stay on top, then add the rest in any order? If so, you should be able to do that. Just paste the first 7 in the top keyword box and hit the tab key. When they are distributed into their own individual boxes, paste the remaining keywords into the 8th box and hit tab. If I'm totally missing the point, please explain what you are wanting in more detail. Thanks, Mat

Something is driving me nuts... On the Adobe Interface you can fix keywords according to importance, add and replace them etc.. But I have files from the same series and cannot copy and paste the keywords, taking literally several minutes per file. This is such a workflow nightmare.
I have to manually order every file in the series as there is no replace keywords function. To anyone that has a fix please share! 
You can copy and paste keywords now. To change the view from individual boxes to one large box with all keyword click the icon in the upper right corner that says "paste keywords."
-Mat
This morning I have tried to copy the ordered keywords from one file and to paste them to 5 other files.
It failed! It seem that it is not possible to paste the keywords to several files in one time
I have confirmed the workflow for this and as far as I can tell, everything is working normally.
User can select multiple files at once.
Click Paste Keywords button.
Paste the selection of keywords in that window.
Click Save work button.
All files selected should now have those keywords added.
FYI, this will only add those keywords to your selected content. It does not replace existing keywords. If you want to do that you must click "erase all keywords" before pasting the new ones.
Probably this was the problem because my keywords were 50, and so pasting other 50 keywords over them did not replace them.
Maybe some alert message would be welcome 
Aha! Mystery solved, thanks for the follow up information. I'll share your suggestion for an alert with the development team. Thanks! -Mat

Hi Everyone! Last year Sean Locke, Inti St. Clair, Terry White and myself flew to San Jose and created a series of videos while shooting stock at the Adobe Headquarters. We had a great time, got some amazing content and the videos came out pretty great if I do say so myself! If you want to see Sean, Inti and Terry in action take a look at the videos inside the blog post linked here: https://theblog.adobe.com/photographing-modern-workplaces/Cheers! Mat Hayward

I use Easy Release. Works great when the model is right in front of you. Every once in a while I pull a bonehead move and forget to have them sign on the spot. Does anyone know of a way to email a release for people to fill out and sign electronically, then email it back?
I use Easy Release for most of my model releases since it is so convenient to keep in my phone. Another option is to create a release using Adobe Sign from within the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. That sends an email to your model to click, sends it back to you to click and then it's automatically in your account. It's very easy to use though I'm not sure if it can be used outside of Adobe Stock so check on that before trying it if you need the release for multiple agencies. Some more information can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/upload-a-model-or-property-release.html-Mat
