Anyway, my question is it possible to push those files through review somehow as this kind of clips sell on other sites from time to time.
Make some minor changes to the video, change the file name and upload it again to SS.

On the clips that are accepted only for sale in the Data Catalog it is written so. It cannot be that your clips are accepted for commercial sales, but they are in the Data Catalog and you do not see them.
Previously there was a problem on the site, the video appeared in the catalog and on the site only after several weeks. Then SS fixed this problem.
In any case, you need to constantly contact SS support, and not conduct a dialogue with all sorts of volunteers who are just authors and cannot solve anything.

How much do you get from 1 video download and from 1 image download ? Thousands of downloads that you report seem very positive.
50 cents per video.

LOL - from anyone else  this would be a reasonable request (and of course others are free to decline), but your response is despicable hypocrisy - you constantly demand stats while refusing t even show your portofolio
This is trolling!
Demanding statistics means demanding a table, exact data and a screenshot.

I ask questions to people who write their income amount themselves, and it is not always clear what they write. That is why I clarify. But I did not force these people to create topics and indicate any amounts.
Also, that stocker wrote that he has a successful YouTube channel and for some reason dragged me into it. That is why I also asked a clarifying question.
All these people want to voluntarily share some information, it is their right. They want their messages to be read and questions to be asked and comments to be written. This is called democracy!  ;D

Finally a better month following three consecutive poor months with $1300 on the microstocks and bit over $500 on YouTube for $1800 USD total for May 2025.
Are you uploading stock video to YouTube?

Lately I've been shooting for the primary purpose of YouTube and then taking some clips from this and uploading them to my stock ports. So kind of the other way around really. Most of the clips are editorial so can only go on Shutterstock and Pond5 and to my other ports on iStock and Adobe if suitable.     
You need to put a watermark on all the videos you upload to YouTube? After all, this way anyone can download your videos and upload them to stocks.

Nevertheless, I still find it astonishing that there are people who consider climate change to be a lie.
Where did you see such people in this thread? In my first message I wrote about climate change.
Climate change is only one scenario, one of the possible ones.
But it is convenient for the Europarasites to think that catastrophes only happen because of natural phenomena. You live in a bubble of lies and misinformation, and you dont even know that you are in the epicenter of the hot phase of World War III. You dont even know that World War III is going on. So of course you have only one answer to any catastrophe, the answer that was shoved into your head by the democrats. At the same time, these democrats are very well enriched and steal money on the topic of fighting climate change, fighting a star called the sun.  ;D ;D ;D
But I'm glad that President Trump thinks this "fight" is nonsense and is no longer wasting US taxpayer money on it.

Why is it that conspiracy theorists always have this annoying habit of latching onto every new disaster or event like they know everything about it...?
1. Where did you see conspiracy theories in this thread?
2. If you personally have nothing to say on the topic, it doesn't mean that other people are as ignorant as you.
3. Such disasters should be investigated.
4. In this thread, I see a description of possible scenarios.

The Internet is not the place to disclose your personal data.
A lot is known about me, I shoot videos and a few photos. This information is enough for questions and answers.
I did not suggest that you publish the address of your YouTube channel here (although usually the owners of these channels like to do this).
You were asked a simple question, to indicate approximate figures. Especially since you yourself raised this question.

He had a crack at my thread about monetizing a drone YouTube channel - which btw is actually my best performing platform this month.
How many subscribers do you have and how many views does one video have?  ???

Post a screen image of your weekly rank and revenue for Adobe Stock on the 'What's your weekly ranking and how many images' (link below) then I'll post a screen image of my YouTube Channel Analytics for 28 days which includes current numbers of subscribers, number of subscribers added in last 28 days, number of views + watch time (hours) + estimated revenue for the last 28 days. I'll even throw in my weekly rank and earnings on Adobe which is a bit low this week for good measure. C'mon bro, let's see some of that Ukrainian talent.   

https://www.microstockgroup.com/fotolia-com/what's-your-weekly-ranking-and-how-many-images/msg614407/?topicseen#new
Considering your unfriendly and aggressive tone, as well as your lack of response to the question on the topic you raised, we can conclude that I was right.
 ::)

If your channel can be easily found on YouTube, then I could of course go to your channel, see the number of subscribers and see how many views your drone videos have. But this question is not my area of ​​professional interest, it is also possible that you are hiding your channel, and the lack of an answer from you to a simple question confirms my previous assumptions.
 ;D ;D ;D

I also want to say that you are trolling.

Stocker2014 criticizes everything. He's previously criticized the use of using drones for microstock which alone has earned me 1000s of dollars.
I don't remember that. You dreamed it.  ;D

Yet another reason why Canada should accept President Trump's offer to become the 51st state of the United States.
Canada does not have the resources to fight forest fires. Global warming is happening on planet Earth.

I also do not rule out diversion by the Russians or China.

I'm only aware of your fervent enthusiasm to give your contents to Adobe's free offer in the hope you might make a couple of bucks.  ;D     
Any money doesn't lie around on the street. That's why I take all the money that stock agencies give me.
This topic started with the author of the topic writing about her income from selling photos. I asked clarifying questions.  :)

Buyers *reporting* this on Trustpilot - if you look at the comments that is what they are saying.
So I ask you, why the deception?

A lot of buyers reporting they are being tricked into monthly subscription payments by signing up for a free trial.

$560 is my net for a single print sale.
Then it is unclear what your prices are for one photo. As I understood from your website, the price for a photo does not exceed $250. If you receive a net profit of $560, it is obvious that the buyer paid more than $560 for your photo.
Now nothing is clear from what you write, and it is also unclear how much you earn on average per month from selling your photos in all agencies (including stock).
Of course, talking about video does not make sense yet. If your monthly income level has 4-digit numbers, then photography is a profitable business for you and you do not need to waste time on video.

but I still got over US$560.
So, what I read about the author.
"Charline Xia. One of her exhibitions was sponsored by and held at Steam Whistle Art Gallery in Toronto. Her photos have been published by many major public and private entities including the United Nations, Parks Canada, Forbes, The Globe and Mail, Linux, Canadian Geographic Magazine and many many others globally."

I apologize, of course, but for a photographer of this level, an income of $ 560 is very little. And as I understand it, you usually earn less.

 ???

I'll give you some advice, ditch your photography, shoot videos, you'll earn more dollars.
 ;D ;D ;D

Hey Folks,

For some reason I cannot get my FTP setup correctly for Adobe. Do you guys know if your password is the same as your regular password to login the contributor account or some special password they provided to us? Also do they use the SFTP only not FTP?

Thanks
SFTP

The password is generated in the FTP account. Everything is clearly written there.

Shutterstock stopped showing to buyers what codec the video was shot in and what fps the video has. This is unacceptable.

If you don't know him yet, you should take a look at his pictures.
I apologize, of course, but who are you writing to? If I follow your logic, then the thought arises to advise you to look at the paintings that Hitler painted. They say he painted very well with watercolors. He was a good painter. Of course, such comparisons are very conditional, but they have a right to exist.

Concealment and non-documentation of war crimes and genocide of Russian orcs, Na.zis, the DPRK, China, Iran and Belarus is assistance to terrorists.
Salgado was a leftist with socialist convictions. He never condemned the crimes of the Russians anywhere.
