This is not clear. It is not clear where to see how many of my videos are now included in the unlimited subscription.

Now I see that Shutterstock has reduced the number of my videos available with an unlimited subscription. About 3 times.

There is nothing in my statistics in the column "Unlimited subscription". When will I see the money?

Videos are included, I was thinking about images, thats why I wrote that.

Everything is fine. The price is normal. Apparently buyers can already buy unlimited downloads.
The author's income will depend on the number of buyers. Will shutterstock be able to create competition for such well-known stocks as envato and storybloks.
It's strange that getty allowed shutterstock to do this.
In general, I only support such a pricing system, but only if shutterstock can attract enough buyers for me to receive a stable profit.
For example, depositphoto also has this, but I refused unlimited downloads there, because the profit was almost zero.

Searching the site shows that only up to 30% of Shutterstock videos are available for unlimited subscription. It's not much, but the main thing is that these videos contain my videos!

Its 18 per month, daily download limit is 100 images, so this makes 0.003 per image at max downloads.
Where did you read about this?
And why only photos, and not videos?

Quote from the article:

"If there was an incident, regardless of the nature of the incident, I suspect that the actual report doesn't look much like what has now come out from five or six or seven iterations of what originally was [written]," Baker told Fox News Digital. "

The alleged incicdent sounds like a bad Doctor Who episode.

Trump promised to tell the truth. But he didn't promise to convince you to believe the truth.
 ;D

but you've told us several times not to pay attention to what trump says!

and his constant lies are exposed daily - i'd rather have a pigeon tell my fortune
Trump doesn't say anything, we are talking about a CIA document, and this is not talk but concrete actions. Trump said! Trump did!

Viral CIA file about aliens attacking soldiers takes off with UFO intrigue.
A declassified document posted to the CIAs website is raising eyebrows with claims of an alleged UFO attack on Soviet forces.

Well, Ive been a contributor for 12 years, with a solid portfolio of 15,000 videos. It took nearly six months for my application to be accepted.
You submitted an application once and then waited six months for a response?

Ooh, an alien death ray that turns people into limestone - that sounds really likely!  So far it seems to be only reported on Fox News, and we know they would never make stuff up to get gullible people to click on a link for money.  Maybe if we keep praying to the Orange God the aliens will come back to finish off the Russians.  The aliens will save us - yay!
On Trump's orders, the CIA is declassifying some documents. Maybe other media will also write about this, I don't know. For you, the more media write about this, the more truthful the information will be. Maybe you should read the CIA document.
What do we even know about UFOs? Why do you think that what you supposedly "know" about UFOs is true, and the declassified CIA document is not true.

Hello,

I am new in Storyblocks. i wonder if it's normal that my top clips are not showing on my dashboard anymore. It's been about 2weeks...
How did you manage to pass the exam there? Do you have very good videos?

Are video portfolios also included in this, or only photos? Looking at who has commented so far, it seems that mostly photo contributors have been invited to this new model.
Videos are included

Why did you come to this conclusion? Is this written somewhere?

Where can I see what prices this subscription has for buyers? And does this only apply to photos or videos too?

Dear Shutterstock Contributor,

Starting today, your Shutterstock account has been included in a small Contributor pilot group that will power the launch of our new "Unlimited Download Subscription" - an offering designed to capture an emerging market of individual users. As part of this pilot group, you will be the first to benefit from this additional licensing opportunity, while your content will continue to be available across the Shutterstock library for all customers to license.

This is great news!
This is what I recommended Shutterstock to do. I am glad that Shutterstock followed my advice.

model fees
How do you justify the costs of models? Do you write their fee in the model release?

The book is even bought on Amazon? Maybe stockers should stop uploading to stocks and start selling their photos as books on Amazon?
Do they buy a paper version or an electronic one?

I have lately provided many files as DNxHR HQX 10 bits
:o :o :o
Do stock agencies accept this format?

The video is still pending verification for many months. However, the video has been submitted for verification.

How fast is the noise removed from the video, how many hours do you wait? How powerful is your PC?
Why don't you use Topaz?

artlist and storyblocks are tiny.

The merged business has way more than over 1 billion files and will have by far the largest editorial volume as well.

They would be as dangerous as depositphotos or dreamstime.

Also they own envato, if someone wants ultracheap subs they can offer that.

They might even prop it up with more content to make it more attractive.

I don't think the merger will affect Adobe because they sell from within photoshop, but the other tiny agencies - how will they survive against the new gorilla?

It will also make it difficult to start new agencies, unless it is highly specialized and with expensive content.
Not quite so, storyblocks accepts only authors who create content that buyers need. Moreover, storyblocks constantly deletes those videos that are not in demand. Thus, the storyblocks library contains only the videos that buyers need. Buyers can find what they need there easier and faster.
There is also an editorial on storyblocks.

I have another problem. I would like to sell videos on Plus, but I don't know how to apply. They probably don't take everyone.

danielvisuals, if you upload different content to different stocks, then maybe you should become an exclusive author on Getty. With your works you will be taken there. Get very high prices when selling your videos.

It's simpler for me, I upload all my videos wherever they are accepted. It's faster for me.

How well does niche footage perform for video producers who upload to iStock?

Does iStock favor niche content, or is it more suitable for generic, high-volume clips?

I've had great success with my niche footage on Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and pond5 where I can achieve higher-value sales. However, I'm concerned that niche content might be undervalued on iStock.

I have the impression that iStock is better suited for high-volume, generic clips, while niche footage content performs better on Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and Pond5.
Upload all your video to ESP (iStock) and find out everything. I don't think anyone knows the answer to your question. If you sell your video by subscription, the prices on iStock will be even higher.
If you have a good video, then on Getty there are sales at high prices.

It looks like the merger with shutterstock didn't do Getty any good.  ;D ;D ;D
