It would nice to have a payment by cheque, or by 'e-cheque' (i.e., take a picture of a cheque and/or print off an e-mailed .pdf, and then deposit in your bank) option added... I.e., while I don't believe I personally used this company (I have used echeques in the past, don't recall which companies they were though), here is an example of one I found via google: https://checkbook.io/en-ca/product/payments/printable-cheques/

I also think those choices are have become way to expensive. Much more than the old bank transfer system that was already expensive.
With great option nowadays like Revolut or WISE I wonder why stock sites are staying with this expensive option for us that really hack our hard earned money.
Really hope Adobe can take a look into more favorable options for their contributors.
These Revolut or WISE will also increase their commissions as soon as stock agencies start working with them. This has already happened with Skrill and Payoneer.

Stoker "fencing" is also the process of building fences, as well as being the material to build fences, not just the sport of waving sharp sticks.
OK, thank you. To avoid feeding the trolls, I changed the topic title.

Wilm, I asked a question to all the authors.

How does this site sell videos?

1. I don't know what images Zero Talent sells on this site. He didn't provide any links to them. These may not be stock images.
I already told you that ALL my FAA photos are also sold on ALL my stock sites. Cascoly told you the same.
But you are stubborn and unwilling to change your prejudices, even when confronted with evidence screaming in your face. We already established that.
You can easily do a reverse search on many FAA photos and discover them on stock sites, but you are not willing to listen.
See below another example from a different contributor, selling his stock photos on FAA.
1. I was having a discussion with Cascoly, not with you. 2. I wrote to him about the time when you had not yet written what you were selling and explained the meaning of my posts. 3. Your opinion may be subjective regarding the artistic value of your photos.

.... As for the NFT market, it is near $100 billion. You wont believe it, but besides scammers, there is a real market, deals, money. 
irrelevant - no one claimed there was no profit in NFT
successful NFT come from those with means to advertise & promote.
i know it's useless to ask you this, but please show ONE successful NFT from a stock image.
legitimate NFT are comparable to self-hosted sites - they wither without substantial SEO investment & other marketing
The Fine Art America website is not only a stock image. I dont even know if there is a stock image on this site. 
more obfuscation & ignorance (why am i not surprised?)
first, i asked you to show any stock image that had been successful as NFT as you implied, which you avoided by answering with a non sequitur
second, there are many, many hundreds of stock images on FAA - all of mine are (about 1500) and there are many others on both FAA &FB groups who do both
1. I don't know what images Zero Talent sells on this site. He didn't provide any links to them. These may not be stock images. 2. This site has a lot of artwork that can be sold as an NFT. 3. This is not a stock site. 4. You are asking a question to which you yourself do not know the answer.

This is progress.
A small piece of advice: to avoid future embarrassments, when things are not clear for you, it's always better to ask follow up questions, instead of fighting the obvious. There is no shame in that.
You probably haven't noticed, but I kept trying to ask you questions.

then, there are the 'legitimate' scammers willing to bilk their own followers, such as an indicted ex-president
Former President Donald Trump has made between $100,001 and $1 million in income from NFTs, his new financial disclosure showed.
Trump last year announced his first NFT collection, a series of $99 digital trading cards featuring cartoon drawings of him in various heroic postures and outfits. {my emphasis}
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/14/trump-made-a-bundle-of-cash-selling-nfts-financial-filings-show.html
What is the deception, fraud and why are indicted?

haven't been to, a meet in a long time - i fenced sabre my freshman college year, but replaced by science labs after that - my sister went on to new England championship in early 80s. maybe more TV coverage in Paris this summer
I fenced on epee.

Yes I have this one in my SS collection.
You have fence, and the topic is about fencing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FencingFencing is a combat sport that features sword fighting. The three disciplines of modern fencing are the foil, the pe, and the sabre (also saber).

Zero Talent, maybe I didnt understand something, let other authors correct me here. But in my opinion, you yourself refuse 2500 dollars for each image. 
Lol. As I said, you don't think it through. You are one of those gullible "artists", whose ego, greed and ignorance these scammers are preying on.
Even if your initial gullible reaction was to believe the honesty of that "offer", insisting to believe it after I gave you 2 links describing in detail how the scam works (there are more), is only another proof of your stubbornness and refusal to change your mind, no matter what evidence you are faced with.
No surprise. You are already well known for refusing to acknowledge any facts contradicting your preconceptions, even when the reality is screaming in your face.
When the next Nigerian Prince will ask you for help to save his fortune, go for it!
Zero Talent, stop campaigning for Democrats in all topics!  Yes, you provided links to several private stories. Perhaps your case is also fraudulent, but you havent checked it. Either you write that your videos are sold for more than $1,000, or you write about fraud. You decide for yourself whether your photos are worth that kind of money or not.  As for the NFT market, it is near $100 billion. You wont believe it, but besides scammers, there is a real market, deals, money.

If anyone is interested in fencing, I suggest posting various information and opinions here. We can also watch or talk about sword fighting, katanas, etc. For example. On January 4-5, another World Cup among junior women took place in Udine, Italy💫🤺 At these competitions, the Ukrainian team won the women's championship title.   A beautiful shot.

They will ask you to "register" your "art" with their website.
You didn't write this in your first post. It would be good if you published here the entire letter that you received.

This is a typical NFT scam, intending to convince greedy gullible "artists" to pay hundreds of dollars on "specialized" NFT sites, to register their "art" as a prerequisite for these promised sales
Why hundreds of dollars? I've heard of amounts as low as $10.
You missed the point. Scammers don't scam with legit sites. They have their own. They prey on greedy, ignorant and gullible victims.
Why are they scammers? This does not follow from your first post. No one is asking you to spend hundreds of dollars. You can do this for a few dollars.

Hi,
Shutterstock accepts videos I shoot and upload with my iPhone 11. But when I connect my iPhone 11 to the Osmo mobile 3 gimbal and upload the videos I shot, it gives a codeck error and does not accept it. Where might the problem be?
1. Are you shooting with the DJI Mimo app? 2. View the characteristics of your video in MediaInfo. 3. On iPhone 11, you shoot with the original iPhone app. 4. I can only assume that all these applications shoot with variable FPS. You need to change your video to a constant fps, such as 29.97 or 25. In any case, I recommend that you do not upload the original video to Shutterstock from your iPhone. Transcode your video in Adobe programs. For example in Media Encoder. You can change FPS in Premiere. 5. You may be shooting in the H.265 codec in the DJI Mimo app. Shutterstock does not accept this codec.
In any case, do not upload videos with variable FPS. Convert videos to constant FPS.
I think I found the source of the problem. When I shoot with DJI Mimo, there is no problem since Full HD images are recorded as H.264, but when I shoot in 4K, it is recorded as HEVC and Shutterstock does not accept it. Now the question is? How can we record in 4K quality and H.264 codec with DJI Mimo?
1. Look at the settings of the DJI Mimo application, perhaps you can select H.264 there. 2. Connect your iPhone using a cable to your PC and copy the video from the gallery, the video is copied in the H.264 codec. 3. Transcode H.265 using Media Encoder to H.264. Your video still has a variable frame rate (fps). You still need to change the FPS to constant in the editing program. Accordingly, you still need to encode the video to the H.264 codec.
