I'm not submitting motion graphics templates any longer.  A drop from $8 a download to cents is ridiculous.

78
I saw this asked on FB.  The free images will be expiring soon.  Will there be more rounds of additions and payments?

The way SS is going, I might have a worse month than my first month in 2013!

You talk about supply and demand, so ask yourself this. Who stopped the Keystone pipepline and cancelled oil and natural gas exploration permits? Who artificially and intentionally constrained supply and caused the price of oil to go up?

Nobody stopped the Keystone pipeline.

Oh, wait, you meant the KeystoneXL which was for garbage tar sands from which the oil would mostly be exported?  Is that what you meant?

Oh wait, nobody cancelled permits.  https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/new-data-biden-slays-trumps-first-year-drilling-permitting-by-34-2022-01-21/ "New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administrations first-year total of 2,658."

Oh, wait, you're talking about OPEC who constrains supply to make the price go up?

81

For every Biden gaff, there are dozens of Trump gaffs.

Fixed that.  And what's even worse is the crap that comes out of Trunt's mouth that aren't due to speech issues and are just plain idiocy.

Actually, what's even worse is that Republicans will have had four years to find a sensible candidate who wasn't impeached twice and caused and insurrection and lied about the election.  But they're just like "No, this guy is good because he hates who I hate and has no filter like I wish I didn't".

Biden is too brain dead be corrupt. He could barely find his way down a hallway, let alone trying to be corrupt. Thats why hes running the US to the ground. And I didnt qualify for single penny of stimulus money.

Pond5 / Re: Pond5 has joined Shutterstock
« on: May 11, 2022, 08:23 »
And now from SS:
To our creative community:

I am excited to announce Shutterstocks acquisition of Pond5, a leading video-centric content marketplace with a mission to create world-class storytellers. Pond5 is a trusted partner for many filmmakers, media organizations and marketers worldwide due to its award-winning tools, including patented Visual Search for video, and it's easy-to-use platform. Through this acquisition, Shutterstock will not only gain a world class platform and tools, but will also expand its marketplace to include more customers and contributors than ever before.

For now, Shutterstock and Pond5 will continue to operate as separate distribution platforms. This means there will be no operational changes for our valued contributor networks on either Shutterstock or Pond5.

Together, Shutterstock and Pond5 will continue to find new ways to bring value to our creative communities, whether it be through education, submission support or data and insights.

Thank you for being a valued part of Shutterstocks growth and evolution! We look forward to continuing on this journey with you.

Jon
Interim CEO, Shutterstock

I don't really care a lot, although the world was a lot more peaceful before Biden got to power.

Sounds like you don't really know a lot either.

And, it's photography related, so it's fine.

First, we know that stock video can be expensive, so we wanted to reimagine our plans to lower costs.

Sigh.

With gas and fuel prices going through the roof, inflation at an all-time high, interest on our savings at an all-time low, and the ongoing war in Ukraine causing stock markets to go crazy, we now also get shafted by nearly every agency. Gee, thanks.

I don't understand why the pricing of literally everything is going up, and we seem to be the only people (well, any small producer) not benefiting, because these buyers "want and need" access to this stuff.  That's what I was told.  "We are trying to address the very wide base of customers who want and need" these assets.

Adobe Stock / Video Royalties To Drop
« on: March 09, 2022, 11:09 »
The same thing happened to motion graphics templates last month, and my sales were decimated.  Glad I didn't spend more time working on those. :(

"We are writing to let you know about important upcoming price tier updates for all Adobe Stock video clips.

On a rolling basis starting March 9, 2022, HD video clips will be available to license as part of Adobe Stock subscriptions (25 credits per month or larger), providing stock customers a simplified offering that includes standard images, templates, 3D, and audio tracks.

There is no change to the current royalty rate.

While there is no change to the current royalty rate, you may still notice a decrease in the per-video license royalty payments as HD videos will be available to subscription customers at a range of discounts, depending on the customers plan. 4K videos will be available to subscription customers at a 20% discount.

The current Adobe Stock royalty rate (35%) will stay the same, based on the price per clip. And HD and 4K video pricing will remain the same for all on-demand clips and for credit packs. To find details about royalties from subscription plans visit our Royalties page. "
