Given the cost and issues with Adobe I'm planning to switch video editing to DaVinci Resolve. Wanted to know if any others are using it and if the workflow (after the steep learning curve) is better
In Premiere, I usually take one long video or multiple clips. Turn them into 10-15 sec compositions. Edit, stabilize and color them and then use media encoder to create the output files for upload. Can all this be done

So the only way out for now is to head over to the very messy qhero site to upload

I tried reaching out to stocksubmitter but there was some error there also. Also last time they suggested that it was due to the login being incorrect (which in my case it's not)

Hey everyone
I've been using Stock Submitter to get my files up across stock sites including iStock. However for the last few months I've been getting an error when I try to pull ESP keywords using stock submitter.
The error reads "Error fetching ESP terms for keywords : ParseErrorDelayed (Got an internal server error in response to a knock.)
I've been using the following API key in the past : bq9gg32wtfed9kshgtjrxwd
Not very sure what is going wrong. Can someone please guide me. Using stock submitter is loads better than going through qhero

Started getting this issue again asking for the new api key. Using the old one just gives an error "Parse error, unable to find authentication form" . How do I solve this?
This is the new key, deactivate and add this and re-verify and it will work.....

For some reason I'm now not able to get the ESP keywords on iStock again. Has the key changed again? What is the way to ensure I keep getting the new keys?

This looks pretty cool, more than photographers I'm guessing this is also scaring a ton of graphic designers

Shutterstock Contributor Platform Gets an Update in 2022
Exciting updates are coming as we improve the contributor experience.
With the launch of 2022, Shutterstock is hard at work improving the contributor experience, starting with the backbone a refresh of the contributor account. We are updating our contributor platform to improve site performance with cleaner navigation; where earnings, portfolio and insights are more easily accessible, so you can keep your creativity productive.
Were excited for this refresh, which will allow us to roll out new features throughout the year.
Phase I
The work will be completed in phases, giving you the opportunity to explore the refreshed navigation with just a few pages at a time. Here is what you can expect starting in March:
Earnings Summary: A centralized view of your earnings with filters to drill down into asset types or products used to license your content.
My Referrals, Account Settings and Public Profile: A redesigned page layout with easier navigation.
Payment History: A cleaner presentation that isolates the key information on a transaction, giving you the ability to dive into the details when you want to.
Tax Center: A new look and feel with the same ability to manage and download your tax forms.
Navigation
Youll notice that the navigation bar on the refreshed pages has moved to the left, which will eventually be present on every page. Until the migration of the entire contributor experience is completed in late spring, the navigation bar will remain at the top on pages that are yet to migrate.
Phase II
Once the above work is complete, well get started on laying the groundwork for Phase II, which will bring exciting changes to the following features:
Uploading and Submission
Overview of Pending and Reviewed content
Catalog Manager
Homepage
As the migration continues, we will update this article with relevant information to keep you informed and help you get acquainted with the new experience on our site. Check back here for more updates soon!
Wed love to hear your feedback on the new site as you use it just use the feedback link in the banner on the redesigned pages.

Thanks a ton. So i reinstalled it and it seems to work fine now. Maybe some random glitch at my end

Seems like an issue at my end then. Will try for a reinstall tomorrow then.
What is the telegram handle for their support?

Hi
Strangely when starting stock submitter today it goes to the screen showing 0 updates (files changed) then suddenly disappears and nothing else starts. Any ideas? Trying to avoid a reinstall since i have some videos with meta data that i haven't uploaded yet

Having just told Alamy to close my account, I'm now done with microstock, and with so-called "sales" that net me 4 cents. My goal for 2022 is to forget about these crooks, try to do some good photos that people like, and sell a print now and then via POD.
Sickening feeling but today i photograph all the gear that might be of some value to sell and list it, keeping one lower end camera and that's it. It's over. Job search and a big of day trading is now my full time job. I will leave the content up in case a sale happens but it's over as business.
This is heartbreaking, wishing you all the very best for these new avenues. Hope you still find joy in photography

Definitely working on leveling up my photography and video game this year
1. Learn the magical art of colour grading and shooting in log profiles
2. Figure out ways to get great drone videos. Learn the skills around both flying and composing amazing stuff using it
3. Shoot more often. Often the day job tends to sap all intent to shoot anything requiring an effort. Hopefully overcome that this year

Surprised at how low dec was for me. Seems like shutterstock buyers went on a break almost mid Dec. Will try doing this analysis today

I have been uploading to SS for 5+ years and build a portfolio of 4k+ pictures, but lately it is almost impossible to get new content approved as it is declined for the weirdest reasons, mainly focus or noise, lens dirt, posterization etc.
obviously total nonsense as I know how to edit photos and have pro gear
what is wrong with them? are they viewing the photos in 400% resolution and think they are out of focus?
do they have space problems and dont want new pics anymore?
my acceptance ratio is from 100% to 20% now and I am feeling a little desperate.....
Welcome. I don't know if you were on the defunct Shutterstock forum, but there were quite a few threads on the subject.
With me they are often right about lens dirt. Usually almost invisible. If I remove it, it will be approved.
Also on this forum there is a not so old topic: https://www.microstockgroup.com/shutterstock-com/focus-pocus!/
Could you guide me on how you finally identified all this almost invisible lens/sensor dust? Helpful to improve quality

Just in time since the cliff dive at the year end is almost here

Thanks a ton, will give this a shot. Just need to add to stock submitter right? Didn't understand what you meant by deactivate

I've mostly been putting vidoes directly on sites like Pond5 and Adobe. The BB Facebook and fourums seems pretty positive, with people posting about new milestones and increasing earnings. Did not know wirestock did video also

Do we have to manually set them back at the correct prices? It seems like a fixed price for HD and another for 4K regardless of what it was initially

So should the stock Coalition be pausing for a Alamy signout en masse. Maybe a wider list getting prople out of the worse agencies?
71
« on: May 21, 2021, 12:29 »
Probably one understanding is that our lack of unity and lack of strong resistance to Shutterstock has led to all agencies going the same route.
What now? How do we now learn from this and push back. Alamy has barely any significant earnings. Can they be dropped enmasse

Even in the current setup Alamy's a little confusing in commission for most sales 30% is Alamy 40% is distributor commission So you essentially end up with some 30% even now or am i missing something. With the new format, the distributor will still continue to take their cut of 40% and Alamy will take 80% of the rest so you get an amazing 12%  . Are they determined to make Shutterstock look like the good guys Alamy's been such a small earner that never really looked into it

It seems like iStock hasn't yet gotten round to telling us what we've earned in Mar. Or its a super low number and it'll hardly make a difference so why bother  Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

Very very cool. Does this also submit to stock agencies automatically?
Love your key wording tool
