Can someone please advise me how I can disable my portfolio in SS? Thanks.

In your profile settings.

And where is the violation? Adobe already bans people for tags.

To everyone in this forum regardless of how we're labelled:  "Russians", "Ukrainians", "American", "Germans", "Israeli", etc. we are all human beings. And we all, collectively, document this era during a very critical time. A group of human beings who describe and document this era with photographs and clips. You are all very special human beings, IMO.

I don�t know how it is on this forum. But not only people live on planet earth, but also subman, orcs and zombies.

If this was violation, why do shutterstock owns bigstock?

Shutterstock sets rules for authors. What is possible for him is not the fact that it is possible for the authors. My point is that these questions need to be clarified from him.

Hello Friends,
Can I sell my portfolio of 5k stock images to someone for a lumpsum price and remove it from my portfolio so they can sell it?

I am asking this question because I am thinking to flip my assets for urgent cash in return?

Thanks!

I heard that you can only sell your entire account with all your work. Your account will become the property of another person. No one will buy otherwise.

The idiocy of the Russians is that they officially celebrate the New Year on January 1st, and celebrate Christmas on January 7th. In a fascist and Na.zi country in which the Orthodox caliphate is developing, such perversions are considered the norm.

just so we're all clear... celebrating holidays across two different calendars is what you found to take issue with?  quite a shameful perversion indeed.  you've got some strange takes, man, stay off the bottle.

You are probably Russian, because you didn�t even understand what I wrote. 
Again. All normal people celebrate Christmas first, and then celebrate the New Year. But the Russian orcs, of course, cannot understand this. For Russians, the New Year begins at the beginning, and then the birth of Chri.st later. Which is idiocy, perversion and indicates a very strong mental retardation of the Russians and their slave mentality and subordination to their kings and war criminals like putin and the head of their criminal church, Gundyaev (KGB agent).
Russians are genetic slaves and alcoholics.

Why don't you try it yourself?

I tried it. The files have different sizes. I rendered 10 bit video.
The question is why? 

I'm not sure I understand what you did. What were your input and output settings?

Even inside the 10-bit ProRes family (LT, vs normal, vs HQ) the output files have different sizes depending on how much information the lossy compression is discarding.

10-bit ProRes LT.
The first rendering is with maximum bit depth.
The second rendering is without maximum bit depth.

I took one source file and made 2 different renderings from it.

And both final files are 10-bit ProRes, right?
Except for the test above, I never experimented with that setting switched off.

I found this explanation, which means that the setting has a different purpose. Maximum depth means 32 bit for internal calculations instead of 8 (or 10?):
8-bit means the result of every calculation on the image can only have 256 possible levels per channel (RGB or YUV). That�s not a lot of accuracy. With multiple effects on a clip, this means we�ll get rounding errors for each calculation, with the danger of introducing banding and blocking.

In 32-bit, we�re doing all calculations with results that can have more than 4 billion different levels per channel, so rounding errors with multiple effects are totally eliminated. We can also store levels way beyond 100% white and 0% black.

So, it looks like that setting is mainly used for internal transcoding calculations. Maximum depth means more accurate calculations, not necessarily the bit-depth of the final file, which is fixed in our case, by the 10-bit ProRes standard.

Keep it checked. It may take longer to render, but the original information will be better preserved.

According to DaVinci, yes, both files are 10 bits.

I read your assumptions. But these are just assumptions.
On the other hand, how much space can 2 bits take up?

Media Encoder has an 8bit or 16bit option. They do not affect the prores codec; the files are also the same size.

Zero Talent, where can I read what stocks you upload videos to? Or you haven't written this here on the forum yet.

Why do you enable the option to render with maximum bit depth? Your prores codec already renders everything at 10 bits, as you claim.
 

Ambu: Thanks for sharing this.

Based on this info, I�m not ready to contribute to istock. I will stick with SS, AS, and pond5 for the foreseeable future and reassess if needed.

I can certainly see myself change my mind with time.

You made the wrong conclusions.

You are already well known for denying the evidence, even when it is screaming in your face.

Probably because your evidence is usually not evidence.
 

Yes, I learned something about MediaInfo, indeed. No shame in admitting it: it doesn't show the bit-depth for ProRes clips.

And yes, as I said, ProRes can also work for 8-bit clips. After upscaling them to 10 bits. All ProRes outputs will always be 10 bits minimum, even if the native file was 8 bits.

Below is the info for an old 8-bit H264 clip. Next to it, is the ProRes version obtained by asking Adobe Media Encoder to encode it with ProRes. I even removed the check forcing the encoding at maximum depth.
As expected, the output is a ProRes 10-bit clip.

I am sure that by using this cheat you may fool some buyers interested in quality 10-bit clips, but it is also likely that it may bite you back. The choice is yours.

+100

I think that buyers buy prores only because they are comfortable working with this codec. Also, the buyer can theoretically return any purchased clip if he doesn�t like it. I've heard of such returns.
The author of the video will never receive any claims or threats from the buyer. All these issues are regulated by stock agencies, and on the websites of these agencies there are no requirements for the authors you write about here.
I also believe that this is a defect of the prores codec, which represents 8-bit video as 10-bit. Moreover, I'm not sure that DaVinci Resolve even detects the video bit depth in the prores codec. Most likely, this program decided that if it is prores, then it means there are 10 bits. Thus, most buyers will never know what depth of bits they purchased. Many video editing programs will also not show how many bits are in the video in the prores codec.
 

You are writing about some kind of scaling of 8 bits to 10 bits. I'm not sure that this is even possible and that Media Encoder does this. You need to ask Adobe about this. And even if you are right, then so much the better, 8 bit videos will become 10 bit. 

Zero Talent, I remain of the opinion that people buy your video not because it has 10 bits. But only because it is encoded in prores. Or perhaps just a good story.
