General Stock Discussion / Re: FTP server speed?
« on: December 01, 2024, 10:20 »
My speed when ftp'ing clips to Pond5 is around 4.5 mb/sec.
This is not enough. And this is probably when you are loading only 1 file. If you are loading 10 files at the same time, the speed of loading one file will probably be much lower.
I see, so 1Gb/sec internet doesn't solve the problem.
It's strange that your upload speed is only 35. My upload speed on 100 Mb internet is about the same.

General Stock Discussion / FTP server speed?
« on: November 30, 2024, 13:18 »
What is your maximum upload speed? I upload videos to pond5, but the maximum I get is 6 mb/sec. My internet is up to 100 mb/sec. And I wonder if I connect to 1 gb/sec internet, will it increase my upload speed to stocks agencies ftp servers?

TortoiseProductions, You shouldn't take pictures, but shoot at jackals, wolves and dogs!

In this particular case, however, it's a matter of principle.
You have reassured me, because I was already beginning to think that Germans are homeless people and beggars in Germany.  ;D
If it's a matter of principle, then instead of a smiley :( you need to put a smiley  >:(

No answer yet  :(
Response time 2-3 weeks.
But is $15 really a lot of money for a German citizen?  ;D ;D ;D

General - Stock Video / Re: How to create AI videos?
« on: November 25, 2024, 12:27 »
As I understand it, now you can only upload such videos to Adobe?
There are probably some other sites, but is there any income there.

333
...
If you are afraid of competition from AI and don't want to create images with AI, then the only option left is to shoot videos.  ;D ;D ;D

334
especially curious about the coming video sales.
Where on stocks are AI-created videos already sold? And how much of it is there already?

335
The disadvantage of ai at the moment is that Adobe is the only real platform to make maoney with ai.
+100
 ;D ;D ;D

336
I would also start generating AI images myself. But there are problems that I dont like.
1. Adobe often bans the portfolios of these authors.
2. Not all stock agencies accept AI images.
Well, I dont see any competition from AI in the video market yet. Yes, I get paid to teach AI to create videos. But the video market is very small and I think that with such a small volume, AI wont learn to create normal videos, not to mention their technical quality (bitrate, format).
But if AI starts creating competition for me in the video market, I will start creating AI videos without hesitation.

337
Why did you decide that AI generated images are sold as well as your photos? I think that the AI ​​image database is already a dump where few people buy anything.
Shoot videos. At the moment, AI has not reached video and does not compete. I do not think that AI will reach video and it is unknown when this will happen.

No, I don't think AI images sell like my photographs. The problem is that they occupy search results and some buyers buy them.

Here on the forum we have cobalt that sells a lot of AI images, so there is a market for AI.

Maybe buyers will get tired, but we don't know yet. (They've already tired me, when I see a newspaper article or a blog post that has AI images I associate it with a low quality article and I don't read it. Many people are associating AI with low quality. Making images, texts or music in AI takes little time and people are learning it. And they avoid it.).

I take photographs because I am a photographer with 20 years of experience. I am not a videomaker. It's a different job, it requires different equipment and new skills. And I don't like it like photography.

Yes, there is AI search, but only when the buyer consciously chooses it. I don't think AI will take over the entire market. But if you are losing income and think it is because of AI, then learn to shoot videos. You have time.

338

AI is ruining the market for both buyer and seller.


In another discussion I read this sentence: "I was able to generate about 6000 high quality images within about 4 weeks, of which I upscale and upload about approx 100 a day."

4 weeks = 6,000 high quality images

I am a photographer who has been doing stock full time for 15 years (microstock gives me about 70% of my total earnings as a photographer), I have earned just under 400k so far with about 5,700 high quality images (I spend on average about 1 hour for each image for retouching on Photoshop).

With AI, a contributor can now create in 4 weeks what I created in 15 years.

Why did you decide that AI generated images are sold as well as your photos? I think that the AI ​​image database is already a dump where few people buy anything.
Shoot videos. At the moment, AI has not reached video and does not compete. I do not think that AI will reach video and it is unknown when this will happen.

Shutterstock.com / Re: Video submission limits?
« on: November 24, 2024, 03:47 »
The support answered me that if I want to increase the limit, I have to justify to them that I have a lot of unique content, which is not enough on the site, the quantity and time of lifting the limit. And all this will be considered and a decision will be made. But what is unique content in their understanding.

Shutterstock.com / Video submission limits?
« on: November 23, 2024, 14:09 »
Am I the only one who has a weekly limit set by shutterstock, or is there anyone else too? Or maybe there are those who can submit and don't have a limit?

Adobe Stock / Re: Free Collection (Video)
« on: November 22, 2024, 12:52 »
"you COULD be making close to $10k in FREE ASSETS!"
And then (just) got an e-mail now saying 'yep, here's the nominated assets' (under $100 total).
;D ;D ;D

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Adobe accepted a lot of videos into its free collection.

342
I paid $322.00
:o :o :o ::) ::) ::)

I think you can find something similar on Aliexpress for much cheaper.
I would only pay that much money if I had a lot of shoots planned with models.

343
If I am correct it was 45 Watts each.
It is written on the lamps 25W. You showed it yourself on the video.

My videos on this stock are selling very poorly. Is anyone happy with the sales?

Adobe Stock / Re: Free Collection (Video)
« on: November 21, 2024, 05:49 »
They took 70 of my aprox 4000 clips.

Not so bad, it will be my highest payout on adobe (only contributing for just under a year)

But let's see if we get more.
You shot 4000 videos in a year?
 :o :o :o

346
Power 25 watts is very small. I am only satisfied with power 80-100 watts on one softbox.
Perhaps you bought it for some specific purposes.
How much dollars does it cost?

Instead of several thousand videos, Adobe accepted only several dozen from me. Adobe! You are a cheapskate!

« on: November 20, 2024, 15:43 »
The site pays money, so everything is fine.
There are problems with FTP, but they say they are working on fixing them. Of course, it is not known when FTP will work, but I do not need to upload there yet.

In this case, the pond would not have been sold to shutterstock.  ;D ;D ;D
