As with all Adobe Stock sales, your commissions are paid directly into your Fotolia account.

There is high demand for video in the industry. We are looking for 5-60 second clips of lifestyle/people, sports, aerial, nature, and general b-roll.

Clips will be sold through stock.adobe.com as well as directly through After Effects CC and

so I take this to mean that "common" Fotolia accounts are included with this? (That question hadn't been addressed by existing answers here.) Would be glad to know before I bother uploading new clips...

Thanks.

@Mackie, All Fotolia portfolios are mirrored at Adobe Stock. When you clips are approved at Fotolia, they are made available for sale via Adobe Stock also.

Thanks everyone for the great questions. To clarify about prices and commissions based on zones. Yes, the prices are $79.99 USD or 59.99� EUR based on where the purchase is made. That being said, regardless of what zone you are in as a contributor or where the purchase was made, you are paid a commission based on a $79.99 sale. All Adobe Stock video downloads are paying 28 credits to all contributors (32 credits if Emerald or above prior to Nov 30).

We are not currently delivering 4K files for download at Adobe Stock. We will provide you with more information about this as it comes available.

One other item of note, originally I posted that contributors ranked Emerald or above prior to November 23 would receive 40% commissions. The correct date is November 30, 2015.

Thank you,

We are pleased to announce that Adobe Stock is now selling HD video content, providing you with the opportunity to reach Adobe�s large audience of video users. Starting today, HD video files are available to Adobe Stock members for $79.99 USD.

The standard royalty rate for all Adobe Stock video sales is 35%. Those of you that are ranked Emerald or above prior to November 23 will receive a rate of 40% to reflect your past achievements and contributions. As with all Adobe Stock sales, your commissions are paid directly into your Fotolia account.

There is high demand for video in the industry. We are looking for 5-60 second clips of lifestyle/people, sports, aerial, nature, and general b-roll.

Clips will be sold through stock.adobe.com as well as directly through After Effects CC and Premiere Pro CC. Users will now be able to search for and license videos directly in their libraries panel, making for the most streamlined and efficient purchasing experience in the industry.

Some of you have noticed a change in the language of your sales emails regarding subscriptions vs. on-demand. Currently, the system is set up to report all Adobe Stock sales � including videos � as though they are part of a subscription even though they are not. The language in the emails has been changed, but the stats in your "my sales" page are still going to be shown as subscription sales for the time being. Please note that the engineering team is working to fix this and the issue should be resolved in the next several days.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions, comments or concerns.

Congratulations on the upcoming rank increase! No changes are automatically applied to the prices of your files. Once your rank changes, if you decide to increase your prices on standard licenses for credits purchases, please submit a request to customer support via the ticket system and we will ask the tech team to make the changes in bulk for you.

Hi @VB,

I don't recall your concern being discussed in the past. I can bring it up though can't you convert a vector to a larger file and use it at all sites or do others cap the size? Is it a matter of storage? I would like to fully understand the issue before I dig too deep on our end.

@Seabalos, I will look into your account and see what's going on there. Thanks for your patience.

I haven't experienced any of the issues you have described with my 5D Mark iii. I just bought another one a couple of months ago and both perform at top level. If you are a CPS member you should reach out and ask them to check it out. Might need a replacement.

Good luck!

I recommend you post the full resolution file for a couple of reasons. As mentioned, the credits sales at Fotolia become more expensive the larger the file. What I think is possibly more important however is that customers search based on the size of the image and will not purchase a file if it is not large enough for their project. I can't tell you how many times I've spoken with customers asking for larger versions of a file. When I tell them there isn't one available, they move on and find one that fits their specifications.

If you upload at too low a resolution you could be costing yourself.

I hope they'll pay more for sensitive use like Shutterstock so that whatever the percentage you make from extended license isn't the maximum you can get at Fotolia.

Sensitive use is not allowed with Fotolia/Adobe Stock licenses.

The royalty percentage for credits bases sales at Fotolia which includes extended licenses is based on your rank. If you have your extended license prices set to 100 credits you must be at minimum a Silver ranked contributor. Silver pays 25%. As soon as you jump to Gold rank your commission climbs to 31%, Emerald is 37% and it goes up from there. You can read more information about the rates and commission structure here: https://us.fotolia.com/Info/Contributors/Royalties

@Chuckcars, the clips need to be between 5 and 60 seconds.

While exposure is nice, I did ended up deleting the image.  I just cannot see offering a photo for free that has won international and other art awards.  If the image was rejected because of lack of commercial value, then I will just continue to sell it from my art portfolio rather than offer it for free.

It would be really nice if there was a way to set the default as no and have it stay as no and then opt in for particular images... or vice versa for those who want to do the opposite.

It should be set to no by default @Hildegarde. If it's not for some reason, grab a screen shot and send it my way to take a look.

@60D, can you show us the images you have uploaded? The answer will vary based on the quality of your work, the subject matter and how well you have keyworded your images to optimize search. If you uploaded some high quality back to school images showing cultural diversity with awesome composition and unique views you will probably be seeing some good sales almost instantly. If however, you just uploaded a batch of Valentine's Day images it could take a while to see some results.

Some new contributors find instant sales and others have to work at it a bit longer. I recommend you continue to shoot for stock and upload on a consistent basis. The sales will come if you put the work into it.

Good luck!
