I've joined MediaCastPro about two years ago, back when it was still free to upload content. Despite uploading thousands of videos, I have never sold a single one, which seems quite strange.

We can close this topic, it's a scam.

Yeah, let's close it. It's a scam.

Are you trying to sell your content via yt or are you making money because people are viewing your content?

Do you really think I am trying sell you anything ? Sorry, NO for all. Maybe I am just different than You think.

You were talking about a market. A market is a place where you can buy and sell stuff. I guess you're not buying video footage, so probably you are a seller of footage. 

Yes I am selling my footage and images like almost all people here. Something wrong if I am looking for new market?

What's your problem? I am just asking a normal question.

" Dear PantherMedia Contributors we have transferred your account information and balances and are currently migrating your images. We will notify you once the migration is complete. In the meantime, you can start uploading new images. Check documentation for uploading instructions."

This was a while ago. I think it is taking a long time by now. Also, there is a payout on hold, but first an ID and a fw8ben have to be uploaded. Anyone else here with a Panthermedia account as well?

ok, a few months have now passed and my first mission has been approved. But nothing else has happened yet. No open missions - how does that work? Aren't there always open missions or do you have to request them?

Selected 429 out of 13326. Not bad not good

what kind of video was selected?

Number of sales in 2024 so far a third of 2023 (74). However revenues about the same. So revenue per sale up sharply. About 9000 images online.

Roughly $45 has appeared in my Adobe Stock balance and I can figure out why. It happened yesterday, well after the Firefly revenue we received weeks ago, and it doesn't correlate to any sales.

I would reach out to Adobe, but after seeing other folks have their accounts blocked for weeks because Adobe wrongly decided they were fraudsters, I've thought better of it.

Anyone else have extra cash appear recently / know where it might have come from?

Also here...it says firefly-bonus

I just logged in on my Bigstock account and it seems I'm still selling photos there. There's again a small amount there after I asked for a payout a few days ago.
Also when I check my monthly earnings I see I had sales every month of the past years, until this month.
They stopped accepting uploads, but are they still selling our content to customers?

I gave it a try. Captured 10 images and now waiting to be approved. 

Do you have to caption your own work?

Hey,

I got an invitation to submit to TongRo Images Inc., anybody has any experience with them?

never heard of. What's the contributor's share?

You have to write ten photo captions for AI training for 3 USD.

It's hilarious.

Just got this:
Earlier this week you may have received an email from Shutterstock informing you that your unclaimed earnings need to be collected, otherwise they are at risk of being transferred to the state of Delaware. Please disregard that email, you should not have received that communication.

We are aware that as an artist who resides in Russia or Belarus, your options for receiving payments are extremely limited at this time. Your earnings can continue to accrue with Shutterstock until viable options for receiving payment from Shutterstock become available in your country.

We apologize for any confusion our original communication may have caused and appreciate your understanding

All Russian and Belarusian authors should be banned from Shutterstock and their works removed. It is very strange that Shutterstock has a policy of supporting Russians.

What's wrong with Russian and Belarus photographers? They just try to make a living out of photography. Why rob them from their income?
They are not the politicians and rulers who want war.

Probably it's not fake. I logged in at my bigstock account and there is indeed a payable amount.

when I click on "missions" I see under open mission: Caption mission.
What does this mean and what will happen when I click on start?

Has this something to do with editorial submissions?

they are extracting still images out of the selected footage.

My macbook pro recently updated to Sequoia 15.0.1 but now fcp 10.6xx has stopped working. It was a 'grey" version and I can't update.
Now I can buy FCP 10.8.1, but does it work with Sequoia?
Anyone knows?

I received only a small amount

26 accepted here, out of 250 or so.
Already credited. 

hmmmm, they owe me $0,66 
never been a big earner for me.

Any (Dutch) people here who still have an account at Nationale Beeldbank/ANP foto?
It,s a stock office who only accept netherlands-related images.
Today they closed my account because I refused to sign their contract for exclusivity. And for as far as I know there was no other option.

Clear answer...👍
Thanks a lot.

I'm planning to buy a mac, but is there already a lightroom version available for mac?
And what about free or cheap(er) alternatives like the free built in photo editor (don't know its name).
And what mac should i buy? I mainly do photography but sometimes also video-editing.
