I can buy equipment for video production in 8K. But that doesn't mean I can demand high prices for this video on the stock market. The price of a video depends solely on the demand for a specific resolution. As I already wrote, there is no demand for 4K among buyers.
Those who want to make money with 4K and 8K resolution should shoot videos not for stock agencies, but for other clients. For example, television studios need this resolution in good quality. Perhaps weddings are filmed in 4K and the client is willing to pay more for 4K than for HD.

If we already talk about video quality, then we need to talk not about resolution, but about bitrate, bit depth and everything else that is written about in the link that I gave. And then the stock agency can mark such a video as high-quality and try to sell it at a higher price. But this is not real. Most buyers are not looking for technical video quality. The buyer is only interested in the story and price. The buyer is satisfied with the HD resolution. Therefore, with a view to the future, we all spend money on 4K equipment, shoot it in 4K, after which the stocks convert it to HD and sell it to the buyer. Therefore, it is we who are the authors who have to pay the stock agencies for the fact that they are forced to store our 4K video, which is not needed by customers now.

Why is 4k better quality than HD? I disagree with this statement.
4K is just a different format.
The stock agency has prices. It is logical to assume that these prices may be the same for all formats. The buyer will only buy the format he needs. The fact that we shoot in 4K is just our desire to reach those buyers who need 4K or will need it in the future.
4K is higher resolution than HD, it's not a different format.
Of course if matters how you obtain the 4K resolution. But generally a native 4K export should be more crisp and higher quality than the same export in HD resolution.
The quality of the video does not depend on its resolution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_quality
HD video may have better quality than 4K video. Any cheap Chinese phone shoots in 4K. And where is the quality?
If we talk about high-quality HD or 4K video, then everything depends on the monitor on which this video will be played.
But to say that 4K is better than HD is not correct.
Why should high-quality HD video cost less than 4K video? It is not right.
4K is better than HD if all other factors are equal, because more pixels allow for more detail. This may not always be the case (upscaling, compression) but again, all other factors considered equal.
The reason 4K should in some cases cost more, is because it takes more processing power to work with 4K footage, more storage space, more exporting time and more uploading time. Over time, this cost may reduce due to cheaper storage space and faster processors, but let's not forget contributors invested in faster hardware to process 4K footage/animation. Besides, we're not talking about credit price differences here, but subscription prices so it's already getting as cheap as can be for buyers.
Video detail does not depend on the resolution, but on the video bitrate and bit depth. Read what bitrate is. As for resolution, it is only needed for the monitor. If you have a 4K monitor, then it is logical to assume that 4K will look better than HD. But, if you have an HD monitor, then the HD resolution is sufficient for that monitor. As for your cash outlay on equipment, its up to you whether to spend the money or not. Video is a product, video resolution can increase, but this does not mean that its price should increase. Any production requires equipment costs. The price of any product is formed by market methods, and does not depend on your costs for equipment. If you are not satisfied with the prices for 4K, then do not buy equipment that shoots in 4K. The market has long been pushing for lower video prices, which is why subscriptions are popular. As we can see from this thread, buyers don't need 4K resolution. Therefore, in order to sell them 4K, the price may be even lower than the price of HD.

Zero Talent, do you upload videos to 123rf via FTP?

It is unclear what kind of content needs to be filmed in order for the author to be accepted into Artlist as a contributor.
For example, with Storyblocks everything is clear, you need to shoot models of different skin colors. And you need many different models.

I shoot niche content that is underrepresented on most stock agencies.
What kind of content is this?

Is this only for photos or for videos too?

Hi Everyone,
Adobe Stocks 4K video clips will now be offered alongside HD clips for licensing as part of Adobe Stock subscriptions. This change will simplify the offering for Stock customers, allowing them to license HD and 4K video content as well as standard images, templates, 3D, and audio tracks using their subscriptions.
There is no change to the current royalty rate. For information about compensation, please visit our Royalties page.

Thank you,
Mat Hayward
+100 Correct solution! But as I already wrote, your subscription is very expensive. In order for your subscription to generate good income, go to the pricing scheme of envato or storyblocks. https://elements.envato.com/pricinghttps://www.storyblocks.com/pricing

The subscription price is high. Make it $16 a month and unlimited downloads. There will be more buyers and authors will receive more profits.

my gut told me to report to them what happend to check if that's okay and normal, then they will thank you for the good work and for increasing their profits!  I never write to Adobe, there are a lot of inadequate people there who, instead of solving the problem, start looking for some problems or violations in your account, portfolio. And there are a lot of Russians working in Adobe. Have you been unblocked?

And Getty doesn't take editorial video.
As far as I know it accepts. You need to apply for an editorial author.

It all started when then CEO of Shutterstock Stan Pavlovsky, the embodiment of corporate greed, started screwing contributors with the new royalty schedule and levels and yearly resets.
Then he left the sinking ship. I'm still angry when I think of how he introduced that whole fiasco. And look at where we (they) are now. Surpassed by Adobe.
He did something else, because in my opinion the number of buyers has decreased.

Where is the representative from shutterstock here on the forum? Maybe we should invite them. Let them tell you why video sales and video income began to decrease.
How is the video sales on Shutterstock these days compared to pre-video sub 2019?
Income decreased by 5 times.

Ok, just tested it with following ChatGPT Promt:
Please give me 40 keywords without numbering and comma separated for the following content "triple cheeseburger with lettuce tomato catsup mustard sesame seed bun on a natural background".
Results: triple cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, catsup, mustard, sesame seed bun, natural background, food, burger, fast food, delicious, savory, indulgence, meal, culinary, gourmet, appetizing, homemade, juicy, tasty, fresh, condiments, sesame seeds, culinary delight, mouth-watering, comfort food, classic, American cuisine, fast-casual, stacked, layered, culinary photography, gastronomy, temptation, flavor, bun texture, food styling, culinary art, beef, cheese, pickles, onions, condiments, grill, sesame seeds, bun, culinary creation, foodie, deliciousness, hamburger, mealtime, epicurean, condiment harmony, culinary satisfaction, appetite, gastronomic pleasure, culinary masterpiece, food indulgence
Yeah it's a little bit tricky. One probably have to explicitly request a mix of adjectives to describe the burger, but also the taste, etc.
Will perhaps sometime try to define some prompts for creating keywords for various contents.
I hope that you understand that it's based on nothing, no sorting no real data, just words,
I've tested AI keywording, results are not consistent and inaccurate, waste of submissions no matter how tricky or complex your prompts are.
Why do you need tag sorting? This probably only works on Adobe. In other stock agencies, it doesnt matter in what order the tags are sorted. This does not affect the search. As for the quality of the tags, it is also normal.

Everyone has a Payoneer card, you dont have to withdraw money and pay in stores with this card.
You can also withdraw money from your card at a local ATM in local currency.
Are you in the US? If so, have you tried withdrawing through an ATM in another country with it?
This method has its own drawbacks.
Bad conversion rate + Payoneer $3 fee per transaction + ATM access fee (around $5-$6 per transaction) + international transfer fee.
The withdrawal limit of ATM (maximum cash per time) in each country determines the number of transactions you have to make.
I don't live in the USA. But many of the commissions you write about do not exist, or they exist, but not in all countries. Yes, every bank in every country has its own limits on issuing banknotes through an ATM. But, all these questions can be clarified, for example, by withdrawing money from an ATM. If you pay by card, there are very few (if any) fees.

I don't think it will be a problem to remove people from photos. How does Adobe even know this? And faces can be blurred.

Hello,
I recently uploaded some wildlife footage with sound to SS, AS, and Pond5. However, after my uploads were approved, I noticed that all the footage had lost their sound. The sound was relevant and of high quality.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue before and if there's any solution to it.
Thank you,
Daniel
It can not be so. I've never even heard of this.
