It was really worth the wait! This still was sold for $4850!!!  30% royalties is a pain in the ass, but after all a good income. Macrostock is awesome, you can get big sales, but i'm a bit afraid of a refund. Crossing fingers for getting no refund... With the other sales, video and stills, February gets me about $2000 with Getty. I know Getty has not the best reputation, i agree, but Getty is sometimes able to put a smile in your face!  Best regards, Martin

There is a lot of discomfort at Getty forum since Friday, but no answer from Getty till now.
It's very unusual that there are no reports yet. Normaly i receive mine on 19th.

Uploading both could be the solution, right, but the render times, and the disk space...
Especially when you are working with RAW files.
Not easy to decide.

Like Mantis said it depends. A great way to add some movements: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/animating_a_still/Sometimes i use the technique above, sometimes just layering, or both, like in this example i did a few days ago during my skiing holidays: Best regards, Martin

But Getty doesn't accept ProRes encoded with third party plugins.
Only files exportet via Mac are welcome.

I always export my footage to Photo-Jpeg @95%
To avoid banding i add a little bit of grain or noise, just a little. That helps, because the codec has to work preciser then.
Unfortunately ProRes is not available for PC users... :-(
BTW, Magic Lantern only allows 5 - 15 seconds of RAW video recording, even with a very fast CF-Card.

Like Getty Images, iStock is not accepting any ProRes file exported on Windows with plugins. Their ESP System can't handle them. Only native Mac files work.
Maybe the ProRes plugins doesn't work properly on PC?
Waiting till Getty offers different codecs...
All other agencies are good with QT_Photo_Jpeg.
Yeah, it will be interesting to read about Mantis results...

Hopefully everything is ok with Pond5 and it will not be a Revostock 2.0...
Footage is waiting for 30 days now...

Not that much, about $300. I feel sorry for contributors who lost way more money than i do. But i'm also angry about Craigs delaying tactics. "I will do anything", "you will get your money", blabla.... And closing his site with a simple text message is non-professional! Thank god i rescued my $600 before all this crap happened. Yeah, patent trolls suck, but he could have been more honest, regarding to the no future thing with Revostock. Apropos future: What does it mean when Craig says something about transferring our portfolios to other sites? I've read here in the forum that Craig is a comedian? Well, then it was a joke!
