For stock photos, I use lightroom. What do you use to maintain your stock video library? I believe LR can do the job, but wonder if there are better and more well known tools.

Is it worthwhile to upload two versions of the same stock video at different frame rates? Will there be any quality lost if a video frame rate is changed from 24 to 30 or from 30 to 24?

Thanks for the suggestion. I look into the sony one but its too big to fit into the pocket. I am leaning towards the g1x right now as it seems to be the best solution.

I am looking for a smaller camera to do mostly stock photos and some videos (1080) when traveling. I am using a canon system so naturally I started with what canon has offers, which is the g1x. I have also looked into the panasonic gf1, gf2 as well as olympus pen series. They all have the pros and cons. The way I look at it, the g1x seems to be the best all in one solution. Based on sample images on the web they are acceptable up to iso1600, its small and the HD videos look ok as well. On the flip side the build in lens is slow, focusing is not fast, and its not as proven as the other models. Price wise it is the most expensive at $800. The GF1, GF2, EPL1 and EPL2 are cheap with kit lens. But they form factor is not compact (lens sticking out, hard to put inside a pocket). If I buy a pancake lens such as 20 1.7, it will cost another 400, which brings the total price closer to 600. The EPL1 and 2 can not do HD video but their images are good up to iso1600. The GF1 and 2 can do HD videos, and seems to have strong user support (via third party firmware). I have also looked at the sony nex-5, its price sites in the middle but its form factor (big lens sticking out) turns me off. Anyway I am hoping someone can assist and provide more insights so that I can make a better decision on getting the best compact travel camera for stock photos and videos.

I did further research on bank accounts and such. I can open a USD account in my home country's bank, but it will result in a min $35 wire transfer fee for each transaction. If I use paypal, in order to transfer usd from paypal to my home country's usd account, paypal (by law) will convert usd into my home country's currency, then my bank will convert it back to usd. If I were to open a usd bank account (in the US), eventually I need to transfer $ back to my home bank account, which triggers the min $35 wire transfer fee. Since the min payout is about 300 in alamy, so each payment will cost ~10%.

Sure!You all saved me.I only have a kit lens since I have had dslr only since june.How to judge and buy a good lens?
kit lens (18-55?) is fine some people shoot with prosumer cameras and pass qc the image links are broken so no idea why they failed but the response sounds like some obvious blurriness on the image

I prefer the good old check method of payment because I live outside of the US. Now I have to open a low-fee USD bank account and absorb any bank transfer fees. Don't trust paypal enough to keep $ there.

So is using something like crushy stock the only solution to keyword and set categories before upload?

I find the process keywording individual images to be very time consuming, esp when you have the repeat the same process multiple times at different sites. I am hoping there is a way to enter all the keywords and categories inside lightroom and when the image is uploaded I don't need to do much more. Is it possible or am I just dreaming? I am aware tools such as crushy stock but I am hoping to keep everything in LR if possible.

Looking for a compact to way to keep footage steady in situations where a tripod is not feasible. I have been using a monopod but it is fairly easy to shake. Any suggestions?

Yes I meant attaching keywords to video files. So is sending in a separate file the best approach? What is the file format called so I can look it up.

What are some of the popular tools used to keyword a clip before uploading to various stock sites such as pond5? With photos I used LR and photomechanics.
