The last agency that boasted the income potential of GIFs was Revostock. Hope things turn out better for Motion Elements.

Does it work with 4K (2 gig file size) video files?

If you're willing to live in a hut on the beach in a third world/ developing country eating just rice and a few veggies, then, yes there is a living to be made from microstock alone
I like beaches and I'm vegetarian. Does the hut has fiber speed internet?

I also bought a Lumix TZ100 for 4K video. The video is okay but the stills are not sharp at all when compared to my full frame SLR. Not enough glass in the lens. Its just a little point and shoot really.

Video author pricing will be a vast improvement - if they implement it. However I can't gamble the massive amount of time and workflow to upload 1500 videos to a site that culls hard working photographers rather than directing them to do heavy edits of their existing income producing portfolios.

Millions of new clips flooding in.... dilution of sales should be expected.

First of all, thank you for the time and effort you and all authors take in creating and uploading items to PhotoDune. In speaking with photographers and knowing the limitations of our platform (including cumbersome uploading procedures), we felt it would be much easier and more successful for authors to resubmit a fresh portfolio based on our new guidelines than to ask them to go and clean out their existing individual photos manually. For portfolios that had a higher percentage of items that would need to be removed, this would be a particularly unrealistic request to make. For example submitting 100 fresh photos is much easier and less time consuming than going through and deleting 900 out of 1000.
Actually a 90% cull of low selling material would be far better. Customers would continue to find the product they are currently buying. Contributors who invested considerable time would continue to receive most of their income and the end product would be attractive and concise.

Still stuck in the old system... Please make it available to all.

Shutterstock ftp has been down all weekend here. Login failure.

Would be better to see unsold images at the end of the Top Performers list. It's important to consider what doesn't sell in order to improve.

Can we keep trump off this thread? This is about business and politics is off topic. I am not sure why the op chose to insert him here and it's too late to start a new thread.
I think the OP can change the title.

For many images - I only see a few keywords in Image Gallery Stats or under the image in Earnings By Date. When I go to edit photo all the keyword are there... Not sure what to make of it.

Was partner program December reporting delayed? Or did my istock income drop 70%? No longer uploading there... but eager to see detailed reporting to decide if I'm going to remove my portfolio. Currently using deep meta to see balance.

I've never been able to log in there...

Image gallery stats has long scrambled results beginning on page 52. Wish they would fix that some day.

My sales are about 15% of what they once were a couple years ago at BigStock.
I'm on the "Bridge to Bigstock" so all of my files from Shutterstock are automatically in the Bigstock portfolio. If that wasn't the case, I don't think I'd bother uploading.
The bridge has been broken since mid December...

Some agencies will send your art to dozens of questionable "partner" sites. Different pseudonyms help determine which agency is sending your art where.

Some of my clips been waiting 7 months...

I love to edit. I love to edit so much I made a rule in Jan 2015 allowing me delete one upload for every two that get accepted. It's not a radical as it sounds when you factor in agencies that go out of business (Veer, Revostock), agencies deserving of the edit (middle) finger and removal of low earners with little to no sales. The good news is my overall return per upload stat is going up after a multi-year decline.

Sounds too much like Revostock. Hope your outcome is better.

I have the same list with the addition of Nimia. I don't get much sales there but they have other benefits for uploading... File storage and website embedding. Considering trying video on 123RF since my photo sales have been increasing there. Anyone successful with video on 123RF?
My video uploads have been waiting 6 months for inspection at 123rf.. so no luck there.

The bridge to bigstock seems to be broken too. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

istock/getty seems to be working overtime to alienate contributors. Is anyone still uploading there?

Seems unlikely anyone will make anything from the Acanvas deal. I opted out and will watch from the sideline.
Also, I removed my editorial content (signs and certain landmarks) when FAA changed from one off art prints to include mugs and merchandise.
