Yes I did upload on Envato but only a few videos because of their straight acceptance policy. I have nothing on Motionarray. I have my portfolio on most sites (SS, AS, P5, Storyblocks and some on DT)
I did a DMCA notice on shutterstock with dozens of examples from my work.
But I saw tons of copyright infringed videos from other video contributors, that's why I also did this post.
Highly recommended to check this guy's portfolio you might find some of your work...

I uploaded a vector for the first time they made the change and it's a disappointment.
I can adapt to the new size. No problem. What's disappointing is that they take the size of the artwork instead of the artboard size. This cause a lot problems.
I leave some padding on my artwork since most of them DON'T have backgrounds. I want them to be centered and surrounded by white space. When Shutterstock render the JPG from my EPS file, the rendered JPG has no padding. It looks like a mistake and when people search for my work, it goes from edge to edge and it really messes up my presentation.
I don't know what they're thinking. The tech is clearly not ready for prime-time. They need to change it so that it renders a JPG from the size of the Artboard instead of the size of the artwork.
Never even thought of this, good point.
Just put a white rectangle layer at the background with the same size ot the artboard...

Can someone please tell me if I am missing something here?
My works are flat vector so the file size is naturally small. VERY small. Most of my files are only 800-900 KB even though they are vector sets with at least 6-8 graphics in there.
How can I get the file to be 4MP? I tried double the artboard size and can only get to 2MP at most. Am I supposed to make my artboard to be ridiculously large or is there another way that I don't know?
Thank you.
To be 4MP, your file must be at least 2464 x 1632 pixels, so yes you are supposed to make your artboard to be ridiculously large thanks to foolish SS rules

Since we are allowed - AFAIK - with an extended licence for example on istockphoto to use these images on products for resale (mugs, T-shirts etc.) and also Electronic templates for resale: website template, brochure design template, e-greeting cards, etc.
I thought it was allowed but maybe i was wrong..
Yes, it would be possible if at the same time they wouldn't have this rule:
"You must own or control the copyright to all content you submit"
https://www.shutterstock.com/contributorsupport/articles/en_US/kbat02/000006656?l=en_US
Copyright ownership and license for resale aren't the same.
Btw, they also say this:
"Public domain content cannot be submitted under any circumstances. If you do not have complete rights to the content, you may not submit it."
Have no idea why they accept it then 
Yes weird. I think I will edit my own map with oceans names, countries and cities titles. Will take some time to create but surely will avoid any copyright issue

"Do I have the right to buy a stock image of a world map and then use it in my stock videos and put it for sale in stock agencies ?"
No.
Ok, so even with an extended licence ?

Hi,
I have a question : I would like to create a video with camera flying over world maps.
Do I have the right to buy a stock image of a world map and then use it in my stock videos and put it for sale in stock agencies ?
Or do I have to sell a specific licence ?
Thanks

Thanks chrisroll
I have bought a hosting plan at Inmotion and they are really very professional nothing to do with OVH
Didn't know ArchHosting but the prices indeed are low. Due to the vectors and video files (requiring lots of RAM and storage capacity) I had to buy a more expensive solution.

Hi,
Sorry for this long thread.
I own an independent stock agency where I sell my own vectors and motion graphics, and this is a message to help you avoid the mistake I made by trying to use OVH society as my hosting company. My website uses symbiostock software and Symbiostock at this time were about to stop managing hosting websites, so I needed to find a new hosting agency with few specific options for my hosting plan.
I decided to try OVH and tried several times patiently to call OVH society by phone but no way to join them.
I was -sadly- confident so I decided, on last nov 23th, to buy a hosting plan for around $500, which seemed solid enough for my website and opened a ticket asking them if they offer the options I needed (specifically the Imagick module and cPanel dashboard for advanced task allowing me to migrate my website effortless).
I noticed they have a 14 day guarantee... And guess: they only answered to my ticket 19 days later, saying they have imagick but not the cPanel module, without which it was impossible to migrate my website. In the meantime I was urged by symbiostock to find a hosting agency before they shut everything down so I bought a hosting plan at Inmotion hosting agency for the same amount approximately.
When I asked OVH society for a refund they refused because of the 14 days guarantee and they simply didn't want to acknowledge their responsibility with their 19 day answer to my ticket.
I had to insist and finally some support member told me that he will manage this case and check for a way to send me a refund.
I had to be very patient and the guy sent me many messages asking me to be patient.
And now... on march 4th this year they tell me that they offer me a credit on the invoice !!!
But I don't need anything from them! They don't have the services I need and anyway I have another hosting plan elsewhere because of their lazyness and carelessness!
For information I tried Bluehost also as a hosting agency and they refund me immediately in 3 mns since we agreed they don't have the Cpanel option I needed.
So believe me, forget OVH society for a serious, professional and reactive hosting plan.
Hope my story will help microstock friends not to buy anything from them.
Best
PS: I contacted a consumers agency to claim my 500$

Hi,
I'm currently uploading a portfolio of around 1000 videos on Videezy. I thhought it could be worth the effort since I have vectors on their Vecteezy channel, and it sells pretty good...
Anyone here who have an experience there as a video/motion graphics maker ?

...Without talking about their upload system. I tried several times to upload videos, and I get each time 'invalid file or error', but all my files are correct and have been accepted on other sites. I suspect them to make the upload system not working to encourage contributors to become exclusive.

To me your site looks good and professional
The only thing is the load time very slow
Good luck Anyway!

The video has - in a 2nd part - an "empty" version of the animation with only "Summer Sale" text. That allows the buyer to eventually input customized texts inside, knowing that "Super Summer Sale" is a very popular and used topic. I sell a lot of the same designs with my vectors so I thought it could sell as a video.
But I know this can be made via CSS or should be sold as an AE template.
Anyway I'll be back in that thread if I sell it one day...

I have applied to become a contributor on CM some time ago, they told me that "my work does not meet their graphic standards".
Funny to see how high are their standard level in managing money transactions and taking care of their sellers...
Happy that I've been rejected finally by such winners
Good luck to Oliversved though

I had this some time ago, my footage portfolio was not available, the link was failing. I wrote to SS and they did repair that, but it took some weeks to make it work back again...

Hello,
I've tried two agencies that in my experience are worth uploading:
- Sign elements : I make an average of $70/$80 there and had two times this year a month with 200$ (probably some extra licence...)
- Photospin : average of 50$/month
You can also try vectorstock, slow earnings but constant. $360 a year is not bad for me, when you add it to the other earnings
As always it depends on your niche, volume, talent etc...

Has anyone the same issue than me ? I have received the shutterstock payout email for january and the amount does not match the amount of earnings stated on Shutter web site... almost 100$ difference...
