General Stock Discussion / Re: Video is uploading too long
« on: December 24, 2024, 04:25 »
   Thanks Stoker2014,
                             I checked my camera, no problem to set to NTSC, optical cable for faster internet I will get within 24 months.
                             In the meantime I will restric bitrate to 80-100Mb/s and  I will learn video techniques. I wish you all great light into your lens. Thanks

 Thanks Stoker2014
                       now things are much clearer to me. I tried 60Mb/s bitrate and on my 27inch monitor i did not see any differnce.
                       The question is whether  majority of potential buyers look for best quality, or most of them are OK with like 60Mb/s bitrate.
                   I bought Lumix S5II for video, and noticed, that I can just set frame rate to 25fps, or 50fps/Europe/. No 30fps or 60fps
                   Mostly I shoot 50fps.
                  I learned just basics on daVinci, since almost all videos I slow down from 50fps to 25fps.
                   Also I set my camera: 420/10-L, because I have free version of daVinci. Thanks again

Great news, SS just approved my videos: shutterstock.com/g/OttoPles/video
 Those bulky files were not approved, because they are over one minute /1,05/
                      The lenght is the key factor as well. My 26 second clip is: MOV, 473MB, total bitrate 147000Kb/s
                       Do you think I can make it smaller? If I set in daVinci Resolve  export restriction to 100 000 kb/s the size get app 10% smaller. That the way is suppose to be. Thanks a lot.

OK, thanks, so in daVinci Resolve when I will render the video I set codec to H.264 and Quality set to Restrict to 100000Kb/s  Correct?

Thanks guys,
                    I upload to main stocks, what you can see in the collumn on the right: SS, adobe....
                    Transfering speed in FileZilla is around 300Kib/s
                    I also think that my videos are too bulky. How to set daVinci Resolve export to get smaller file? Thanks

Thanks, I use FileZilla for 7 years  for photos and now also for videos. Let me just point out that video files are in .MOV

Hello everyone,
                      besides of photos I just started to upload videos. I have this speed internet connection: 30/2 Mbit
                      App. 1 GB video takes roughly 3 hours to upload. Is not that toooo long?
                      Also, 2 the same lenght videos one is 300MB and the second is 700MB. Why is that? I use daVinci resolve.
                      Am I suppose to compress, or make videos smaller?
                       Any advice highly appreciated. Thank you.

General Stock Discussion / iStock and Getty confusion
« on: June 15, 2024, 02:16 »
Hello everyone,
I have my account on esp.gettyimages site where I submit my photos. All sells what I made from this site are from iStockphoto collection or iStock essentials, NO getty images. Is there a gettyimages collection where I can submit photos as well? And yet there is istockphoto.com web site! Can I submit my photos also on that site? Thank you in advance for clearing this up.

Thank you Jo Ann Snover, I got it. I saved my images in Adobe RGB. Now I always convert my profile to sRgb. I have Adobe RGB set when I open Camera RAW. Maybe I should set Camera RAW to sRGB profile. Thanks again

Hello everyone,
when I edit my mostly urban architecture photos in PS, they look good to me with vivid colors. BUT when I look at them in my portfolio, they have dull colors. Do you oversaturate your urban architecture photos?

Thanks a lot Hannafate,
                                I focus on infographic where is lot of drop shadows. How I can do a shadows in inkscape without useing a blur? Thanks

12
Hello everyone,
             I am new to vectors, I use Inkscape 1.2 version. I noticed that vector where I use blur-shadows and gradients turn out rasterized when save as an .eps file. Is there a way how to avoid this?  I noticed that infographic vectors have lot of blurs, shadows and text. Do they use a special method to save it as an eps vector? Thanks.

13
Thank you guys, that's what I needed to hear.

Hello everyone,
                recently I started with vectors and I would like to know whether I can submit the same vector to more stockagencies? I already submitted a few vectors to SS and I want to be sure before I submit elsewhere. I plan to Adobe, SS, Dreamstime and that is. Can you recommend some other vectorstock? These days I dont expect much, but every dime counts. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,
                     a few days ago I have submitted an image of mountain with oil painting filter to all major players and  they all rejected it. SS wrote: Post-Production Technique -- Image contains quality issues due to cloning, isolation, or other post-production techniques. Adobe rejected it because: non compliant content...etc.  Question: How am I  suppose to submit an image to SS and to others main agencies with artistic filter on it?  Thanks a lot. BTW I wanted to insert the image, but when I hit: insert the image, nothing happens.

General - Top Sites / Creating a sets and StockSubmitter
« on: February 19, 2018, 05:49 »
Hello everyone. I have started stock in July last year. I am learning step by step. Would you please  tell me your opinion: Generally speaking creating a sets  doe's it help to sell images, or not? Also, I submit to every site separately, thru FTP. Do you use StockSubmitter? Does it work smoothly? Thanks a lot.

Photo Critique / Re: 77 sales on SS from July
« on: November 19, 2017, 04:56 »
Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate any advice a lot. You know what they say:  You don't see your own mistakes with your own eyes. And tell the truth, If I see my images what I submitted in July, I wouldn't submit them today.  I was thinking like this: the more images I submit, the bigger chance I sell. Now I see, that I was wrong.  AND YES, I have problem to isolated objects. I just put whatever I shoot on white table, 2 strobes on 45 on sides, 1 strobe above on background. ......and not happy with the result. I slow down and focus on the quality.
And just for curiosity. From 77 downloads were 5 sky images. Isn't that ironic? Thank you again.

Thanks a lot Jo Ann Snover  for very valuable comments - not harsh at all. Definitely help. I read it only ones. I have to go over and analyze it couple of times. Thanks again.

Thanks Brightontl.  I also thought myself to slow down and submit less images with better quality.

Hello everyone,
                 I started stock from July this year. In SS I have over 1200 photos and I made  77 sales. I am obviously doing something wrong. Would you please look at my portfolio and tell me what you REALLY think. It seem to me, that I have learn a lot. Thank you all.

General Stock Discussion / Who doesn't accept editorial images?
« on: November 09, 2017, 05:44 »
Hello everyone.
I would like to submit editorial images for the first time, but not every agency accept them. I have my portfolio in SS, Dreamstime, AdobeStock, Getty, Pond5, Alamy, 123rf, Bigstockphoto .
SS + dreamstime they accept editorial, but how is rest of them with editorial acceptance? Or is there any agency what specialized on editorial images? Thanks a lot guys.
