Hello,
I am looking for a script for Adobe Bridge 2025 that can export the following metadata for video files into a CSV file: Filename, Title, Description, and Keywords.
If anyone has such a script and is willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you in advance.

In the last few days a lot of sales on SS, but almost all in the range of $0.10-$0.15 (level 5).
In the last 3 days SS sales are 3 times those of Adobe for me.
In this moment Adobe can't grow anymore, SS sells a lot but the RPD is low, high priced sales have disappeared. Not a good situation.
I was hoping that SS would lose market share to Adobe (which has the highest RPD), but it's not happening as I expected.
Very true but yesterday was a good day for me at least on SS, I had so many of these days last year, lets hope they are coming back this year.

My video trend has had some ups and downs, but have been steadily heading down on Shutterstock for the past year. Especially the past three months.
How big is your video portfolio, are you doing also images?

Theres no real point in producing stock videos anymore. Videos were expected to be the next big thing in stock photography, but that hasnt happened. Images are selling much faster and at better prices than videos these days. I do a lot of drone photography and videography, but given the current trend, I dont see the value in continuing to invest in video production.
My video sales have dropped from $500 a month on Shutterstock to under $100, even though the sales volume has remained the same. The pricing for stock videos has become ridiculously low.

Pretty good Monday for me, can't complain, both AS and SS.

I feel you, I'm in the similar position, I mostly shoot travel and landscape images but I have a full time job in the same time, I would love to do microstock as full job, actually I was dreaming at some point in life to quit my full job and rely only on microstock and be free, but the current market doesn't give me much hope.

I have a mix portfolio with images and videos but this month I see a big downfall in video sales, volum of sales for images is ok for this month but RPD is lower than expected.

I honestly prefer for people to say the microstock it's dead, at least that will not encourage new people to adventure on this field, more chances for the rest of us.

Same for me, SS sells like 3-4 times more than AS as numbers of assets, price per imagine its a different discussion, I'm close to level 5 on SS.

One thing Getty is hot on is IP/copyright violation. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the Shutterstock library which is absolutely full of violations.
They will have to clean that up. Also get rid of all the ai content that is creeping in without being declared ai.
I'll be glad if they will be doing that.

Does that mean they will continue operating their individual platforms to maintain their existing customer bases and revenue streams?
For me right now SS is 60% of revenue, 25% AS and 15% iStock.

Ok, final little christmas surprise
pos 478, 7300 files
just for one day you can be a hero
eta
volume of sales is going down of course, less than half of last week and maybe just 20% by end of the week.
But it was fun
Congrats, impressive results, did you reached same level of income compared with last year?

Just in time for the reset 
Can't complain, was a good year at SS.
Congratulations. Can you write your profile link? I'm curious about how you reached 25,000 downloads in a year.
Thats the beauty of my portofolio, I sell only travel photos, you can replicate them with AI for sure, but nothing will match the reality.

Hasn't been worth uploading to SS for ages now because new photos just aren't selling,
You can speak for yourself, the new photos are selling very good if you produce the right quality, my downloads doubled this year compared with last year on SS and the new material is selling very well for me.

Still have 120 files in pending for 4 months already, none AI files, what's with the up to 8 weeks, I just doubled that.

A little bit worst than usual but in general November is one of my slowest months, usually with travel material is slowing down during this month. Can't complain, I'm talking in general about 10-20% less than a normal month.
