I think you could do that at depositphotos, I'm not sure if it's still possible.
EDIT: It is.

Of course I'm not offended. I appreciate your opinion. Actually this one video sold once at Fotolia. It was just an example of re-postprocessing.

Do you think it's worth re-uploading already accepted videos, with better post-processing. I'm talking especially about files that haven't sold before so their search placement won't be hurt.
Here's one example before-after. I know that stauration in the second example is maybe a little bit over-done, but you get the idea.

The problem was in cache. Now AS is fine
No single sale at Adobe for 13 hours! There is answer.
Not really.

Is it possible to change the title after image was accepted. I know it was possible before, but I can't figure it now with new interface?

"one year to pay back 800 dollar?
oh god."
Do I need to repeat that I started from scratch? what does your comment add to the conversation? Nothing ... zero, niet, nada. You seem to have a lot of time, you should take some pictures or just get some fresh air and put some positivism in your (too many) post. 
I am very happy with this $ 1200 (and not $ 800)
Don't mind him. Total idiot and laughing stock in this forum.

About one month ago I hade a sale
18 May 2018 Royalty-free Usage: Editorial web and social media, single article $ 15.73
And today I got this
(21 August 2018) Royalty-free Sale Refunded $ -15.73
Royalty-free Usage: Editorial web and social media, single article $ 14.79
Does that means that first sale was refunded and then bought again for 14,79$. Because refunding sale to buy it 1$ cheaper doesn't make any sense. Also, this photo was already published on site, I found it month ago on some web page.

Yeah, I know, thats doesn't change the fact, that he was paid for streaming. Now, if videos can bi stolen or not, that's different topic.

Thats like 21$. Normal price for a video sale.
yes for one video sale not 14 are you joking or are you out of your mind please tell me and I will try to understand what are you saying

Understand this: 1,5$ video sale wasn' really a video sale, it was video streaming.

I find it really hard to build a decent sized portfolio on Adobe Stock. For one thing, they don't accept editorial and I shoot a heck of a lot of editorial. So there are a lot of photos I have that I cannot submit. And when I do submit photos, about half of them cannot go through due to some weird technical issue that nobody has a solution for. If I try and resubmit, they will still not go through. And with the images that do make it through, there is a very tough review process which rejects a fair few of my images. Though a fair few of my images are also accepted as well.
I don't get heaps of regular sales on AS but considering the tiny size of my portfolio on there, I'm actually surprised by the number of sales I do get.
My experience as well.
In addition Fotolia is the only site I get rejections for "lack of aesthetical or commercial value". At least they are very consistent with. Now I can foresee with 90% efficiency which files will be rejected. All images with dark-ugly-negative-disgusting subjects don't pass. Fotolia is "old microstock school" site loving happy jumping white teeth smiling women on exotic beach. It is their politics and I respect this. But there is a market they are missing as these images sell.
Yeah, I'm sure dark ugly disgusting images sell like hot cakes.

Good month for me, better than June. Surprised actually, because those content statistics weren't looking good.

I'm neither and my images were selected. 122 of them.
How can you tell which ones are selected?
I got email with link to my images on getty.

About 60% of my sales are non-us
I just checked mine for previous month. almost 90% from US. 2 years ago, when I was doing much better it was vice-versa. For June it was 83% from US. May 63%. So I'd say, on the average at leas 70% sales are coming from US. Totally opossite than 2 years ago. That's why credit sales sinked. I was selling a lot of my animal stuff for X and XL credits to EU buyers. In fact I was doing so much better than on SS, at one point I was thinking going exclusive with Fotolia. Thank god I didn't make that mistake.

That's not been my experience. I only make about 3% of my monthly stock earnings from FT/AS.
Videos probably sells better in other agencies. For photos and vectors, FT/AS is the best from what I've experienced.
For most people I think SS still leads despite the gloom, capping, manipulation, near bankruptcy, incompetence and downright dastardliness.
There's definitely more potential on SS. My estimate is very rough, but I think SS gets at least 8-12x the total number of downloads across its entire portfolio compared to FT/AS on any given day. For bigger contributors, the ceiling is higher, but the competition is tougher. Older contributors also have an advantage over newer ones.
I think smaller and/or newer contributors can really make some noise on FT/AS. There's less competition and if you have the right type of portfolio, it can really thrive there.
I also have/had a theory that Fotolia did better in the European market...not sure if thats so true anymore.
It isn't. EU sales went into oblivion. Credit sales completely gone.

I have now, looks like most of my images are still there. There have only been one instance when I cliked on sale link and said that image is not avaliable any more, so I don't think that's the reason.

Just curious, how are your sales at Canva? My July was worst month in two years, really bad. August isn't looking any better, multi-use sales gone. I wonder if it has anything to do with them merging with Getty...

Contributor site back up in the UK. Tried uploading a single file but it vanished into "your file is being processed". Obviously not fully back to normal yet 
Thats normal.

Also, most of my high earning RF sales are through alamy so I get 50%. My advice would be: put everything you have on microstock sites also on alamy.
