It is true that the files are large (>10 GB for 30 seconds)
I'm sure there are few people who would be interested in this. Usually smart people just play with LOG.
It appears that you lack experience in capturing and post-processing time-lapse sequences using RAW photos. If you had engaged in such activities, you would be aware of the substantial data volumes involved, often reaching 100 GB. I already mentioned that shooting and processing RAW video can be pretty similar to the time-lapse process if you want it to be. PS. PetaPixel has an article on it: https://petapixel.com/2021/12/03/motioncam-app-is-the-first-to-enable-raw-video-on-android-devices/"Finally, though, Android is seeing an update that goes beyond what is possible on an iPhone. RAW video is considered to be what allows filmmakers to capture as much detail in a scene as possible and will fully maximize a sensors dynamic range" ....

Fact: S24 Ultra is able to output 10-bit video, even with the stock camera app.
Is your phone's sensor 1/1.3? Good luck in shooting raw video. 
To begin with, at least try LOG.
Place a screenshot from MediaInfo here that your video from your phone is 10 bits.
It is important to note that all phones and cameras capture images in RAW format, as this is the native output of the sensor. The RAW sensor output is then processed and encoded in RAM before being saved. Some manufacturers are cropping the image captured by the sensor to reduce the amount of data collected. Better cameras can capture the full sensor data and then reduce the resolution through pixel binning to achieve the desired resolution, at a better dynamic range. The challenge that all devices face is the ability to store this large amount of data before the next frame is captured. This is why encoding is necessary. However, the latest generation of smartphones has significantly improved read/write speeds, allowing them to save all RAW information without any loss, before the next frame is due. Another reason for reducing the file size is to facilitate the transfer of these files over the internet, but that's a different story. In the case of the S24U, the main camera sensor is 1/1.3 inches in size.

For someone with no talent whatsoever  , your performance is and remains absolutely impressive! Congratulations on these figures - that's really very good.
I have fewer pictures in my portfolio, but I'm more than clearly behind you. May I ask where your lifetime ranking is?
I have now slipped to position 2,700 and was once at 1,100 many years ago with a much smaller portfolio. In the meantime, 1,600 contributors have overtaken me. I'm too lazy and I don't seem to have the right touch for successful files anymore.
Hey Wilm, Thanks! I've always maintained that it's not about talent or artistry. It's all about engineering and understanding how to use tools efficiently to replicate successful outcomes. 😉 My lifetime rank is 1,360.

Please ensure you have the most up-to-date information before making such claims. Fact: S24 Ultra is able to output 10-bit video, even with the stock camera app. The same goes for your iPhone if you have a fairly recent model. If you don't believe what the info tool or your editing software is telling you, you can test the luminosity hex values for white and black pixels in a RAW video with high dynamic range and see with your own eyes: they range between #0000 and #04FF, in other words, 10-bits. https://source.android.com/docs/core/camera/10-bit-camera-outputFact: BlackMagic app is only available for iPhones, but it is NOT recording lossless RAW video, only ProRes 10-bit which is a lossy compression and it's not "full sensor". As they mention they are only able to produce: " industry standard 10-bit Apple ProRes files up to 4K"
Of course, I do not support the notion of employing deceptive practices such as encoding 8-bit content within a 10-bit container. Fact: MCP allows for the capture of RAW 10-bit full-sensor videos at 60fps on S24Ultra. This provides users with greater flexibility in color grading and editing, as well as the ability to determine the encoding method at a later stage. It is important to note that 10-bit content maintains more of its RAW quality when stored in a 10-bit container, and obviously loses quality when squeezed into a smaller 8-bit container (especially when heavy lossy compression is also involved). Here is another benchmark comparing MCP running on a 10-bit Android vs a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera (which can shoot 4K 12-bit RAW video) https://youtu.be/4u_Zg23EoOA. Not bad at all for a device that's always with you!

One more thing: the app has also the capability to produce 10-bit HLG HDR, 10-bit LOG, and even encode 10-bit ProRes files, addressing concerns regarding the excessive storage requirements of RAW video.

The whole idea of a camera on a phone is that you have it with you all the time. And then you want to get the best quality out of it. It is not meant to replace pro cameras. The primary concern with stock camera applications is their tendency to excessively process and compress both photographs and videos captured using them. Fortunately, third-party applications demonstrate superior capabilities compared to those provided by smartphone manufacturers, as evidenced by the provided video clips. Regardless of the hardware used (be it a phone or a professional camera), lossless RAW videos are superior to standard H.264 videos (and even superior to lossy 10-bit log videos) in the same way lossless RAW photos are superior to lossy JPEGs: because they encompass the entire dynamic range of the sensor (10-bits depth on the phone), without discarding any information. For your analysis, see below a separate comparison utilizing a Panasonic camera: https://youtu.be/4dIZhupRN_o

I just discovered this amazing app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncam.proIt is able to shoot full sensor (4080 x 3060) 60fps RAW videos on my S24 Ultra, with all 4 lenses, without dropping any frames. What was only possible with expensive pro cameras, is now with me all the time. It is true that the files are large (>10 GB for 30 seconds), but the idea is to capture all the information available on the sensor while in the field and worry about color grading and recoding at home. Here are a couple of videos highlighting the massive quality difference between stock camera apps and MCP: https://youtu.be/AjkchOsifNghttps://youtu.be/O5fnGDR4i9wIt opens up many editing options, not only to those familiar with Davinci Resolve or Premiere Pro, but also to photographers who may only be familiar with Lightroom (editing a video the same way time-lapses are edited, because each frame can be exported as a RAW DNG from the RAW footage).

Because no body answer on this, ask again :/
"When I want to renew the code I get this message :This code is from a country or region that does not match your Adobe ID.
Last year everything went well."
What we to do with this problem? On Adobe support I do not get any valid answer 
Is Creative Cloud available in your country
https://www.adobe.com/special/products/creativecloud/pdfs/cc-availability-matrix.pdf
Interesting that russia is missing from the list, instead of having all options marked as unavailable! But russians don't need such decadent Western technologies, so it doesn't matter, anyway.

If we have more than double the number of required downloads, can we get all apps for two years? Joking... Thanks Mat, this is a nice gesture!

Yes. FineArt America. See below its share of my last month's revenue
Thanks for that. May I ask, do you just upload photos on there and the rest the platform does for you?
Yes. I uploaded a subset of my port with what I consider suitable for prints.

Update:
I now have a new S24U, and unfortunately, Samsung continues to underutilize this phone's great capabilities with subpar software.
The S24U has inherited the algorithm mentioned above, producing preprocessed RAW files incompatible with the excellent Lightroom Denoise AI algorithm.
While GCam can overcome this limitation for the S22 and S23 by producing uncompressed RAW (or lossless compressed RAW that preserves ALL sensor information), we have a problem with the S24U.
All third-party apps attempting to produce RAW with the main camera are producing scrambled photos (the other three cameras work fine).
I tried:
- GCam
- Lightroom Mobile
- Open Camera
- MotionCam Pro
- Camera FV-5 Pro
- Snap Camera HDR
All have the same issue, which seems to stem from an incompatible API for the main camera. Hopefully, Samsung will offer a fix for this.

Zero Talent, do you upload videos to 123rf via FTP?
I use Stocksubmitter, not FTP, but I stopped uploading videos to 123RF long ago.

"EIN/TIN/SSN does not match Vendor Number - Please Retry (0)."
Same as last year.
I guess I will never get that 1099 form.
Yes, that's misleading. It's not Adobe's EIN. It is your Member ID number. You can find it at the bottom of your account detail page.

It was a surprisingly good January, despite the SS reset.
AS compensated for everything and more.

**UPDATE** Was able to download my 1099M Form today.
I already imported it in my Turbo Tax app.

1. I don't know what images Zero Talent sells on this site. He didn't provide any links to them. These may not be stock images.
I already told you that ALL my FAA photos are also sold on ALL my stock sites. Cascoly told you the same. But you are stubborn and unwilling to change your prejudices, even when confronted with evidence screaming in your face. We already established that. You can easily do a reverse search on many FAA photos and discover them on stock sites, but you are not willing to listen. See below another example from a different contributor, selling his stock photos on FAA.

Fyi, I asked the scammer for more details ("please tell me more"), but my email was probably too succint and didn't match the gullibility pattern the scammer was after, so there was no follow up.
Now your topic can be considered clear. This is the phrase you should have started with.
This is progress. A small piece of advice: to avoid future embarrassments, when things are not clear for you, it's always better to ask follow up questions, instead of fighting the obvious. There is no shame in that. PS: I dont even know if there is a stock image on this site.
FYI, all my FAA photos are also sold on all my stock sites. Another example when it's advisable to ask questions first.

Zero Talent, maybe I didnt understand something, let other authors correct me here. But in my opinion, you yourself refuse 2500 dollars for each image. 
Lol. As I said, you don't think it through.
You are one of those gullible "artists", whose ego, greed and ignorance these scammers are preying on.
Even if your initial gullible reaction was to believe the honesty of that "offer", insisting to believe it after I gave you 2 links describing in detail how the scam works (there are more), is only another proof of your stubbornness and refusal to change your mind, no matter what evidence you are faced with.
No surprise. You are already well known for refusing to acknowledge any facts contradicting your preconceptions, even when the reality is screaming in your face.
When the next Nigerian Prince will ask you for help to save his fortune, go for it!
Zero Talent, stop campaigning for Democrats in all topics!
Yes, you provided links to several private stories. Perhaps your case is also fraudulent, but you havent checked it. Either you write that your videos are sold for more than $1,000, or you write about fraud. You decide for yourself whether your photos are worth that kind of money or not.
As for the NFT market, it is near $100 billion. You wont believe it, but besides scammers, there is a real market, deals, money.
Yes, you didn't understand. And that's Ok. The problem is that even now, when you were presented clear examples, you insist in believing that the "offer" was genuine. Yes, it was as genuine as the "offers" made by that famous Nigerian Prince. I'm sorry, but those like you deserve to be scammed. Maybe this is the only way to learn a lesson, if common sense and logic are not good enough. Fyi, I asked the scammer for more details ("please tell me more"), but my email was probably too succint and didn't match the gullibility pattern the scammer was after, so there was no follow up. Remember that these are photos not videos. And yes, when you get $300 for a video on SS rest assured that the buyer paid 3 to 4 times more for it (depending on your level). I wonder where you saw any reference to the Democrats in this thread. This must only be in your head. Maybe "delirium", as you said it yourself to others, when they asked you to face inconvenient truths. Lastly, I already told you that I will happily vote for true old school republicans like Nikki Haley or Chris Christie, instead of Biden. Unfortunatelly they stand no chance in front of the overwhelming maga majority, and I will certainly never get this chance. As always, you don't pay attention to facts contradicting your preconceptions. PS. For gullible and stubborn individuals like you, I recommend this podcast: https://darknetdiaries.com/. The "pig butchering" scam (last episode) is also an interesting one.
