Hi,
Difficult to say about the clips like. Usually clips for submission should be 10-30 seconds. Video can be sold as editorial yes. I recently made the jump from photo to video, I blogged about it here: http://microstockexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/from-still-to-motion. Regards L 503

Adobe Stock / Re: NEWS - Operation Level Ground attracts Artists to Fotolia« on: October 21, 2009, 14:39 »
God knows how long they brainstormed to get to this one:) Not fair for existing contributor. Applicants need also to give a lot of infos I would not trust Fotolia with this....

General - Stock Video / Re: Revostock prices - your opinions please« on: October 19, 2009, 13:12 »
Some more infos....
First, Istock pays only 20% royalties whereas Revostock pays 45% (shutterstock is at 30% if I am right) You can set the price of your clips at Revostock which cannot be done at SS and IS, I put some HD clips at $50. So you do the maths... Fotolia is undercutting the HD videos prices that's why I boycott them ![]() 509
Cameras / Lenses / Re: Friend wants to use Olympus E-410 or E-510 for microstock« on: October 19, 2009, 05:12 »
We can start an Olympus Club here:)
I bought my first one in 1991 (the OM101) and got after the C2500L,E-10, then the E-501. The difference in image quality between each model was huge so I am waiting maybe next year or in 2011 to get a new E-xx. I have the Zuiko 50 mm macro 2.0 which gives superb results. I heard the 70-300 ED has a very good quality for the price ($341 on Amazon...) but I just have the 40-150mm I did some infidelities recently since I have also a Canon G9 and a Canon camcorder HF200 ![]() 510

@holgs Did you try to get sponsored by Olympus for your venture, might be worth a try?

Cameras / Lenses / Re: Friend wants to use Olympus E-410 or E-510 for microstock« on: October 17, 2009, 10:23 »
I use the E-510 for almost 2 years now, love the small size and the image quality. I mainly shoot RAW at 100 ISO. Works well with old OM Lenses as well with an adapter

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / Re: Do you shoot interlaced or progressive?« on: October 12, 2009, 04:39 »
Yes I agree Sharpshot, my problem is that I have to choice to record either progressive or interlaced with my camcorder (Canon HF200)...

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / Do you shoot interlaced or progressive?« on: October 11, 2009, 08:20 »
By browsing the video forums it looks there is not clear answer to this: either shooting interlaced or progressive. Some argue that progressive is becoming more and more popular. What is your take on that? Do you shoot interlaced,progressive or both?

You have AlwaysHD also although they are pretty slow at processing applications...
I do not submit to Canstock yet don't think they have sales yet. I avoid Fotolia because of theit low prices. Here is my referral link to Revostock ![]() http://www.revostock.com/?a_aid=39871 I summarize few of them in my last post: http://microstockexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/10/hd-stock-footage-agencies-memo.html Good luck! 517

Newbie Discussion / Re: uploading to multiple sites or not?« on: September 20, 2009, 14:54 »
I recommend uploading to several sites for a year to see which ones are working for you as it is difficult to predict. Then you can focus on the best one s trying to make images especially for them
Good luck L |
