Have thousands of images there, and no single sales for over a month.

Please keep the suggestions and feedback coming. What do you want to see next?

The option to choose a different thumbnail for footage files, because sometimes Fotolia automatically picks a frame that doesn't showcase the content properly (and this may hurt sales, just like a display window that's entirely black doesn't attract customers)

100% agreed!

Ask yourself this:

Do I need money NOW?

What is this clip likely to earn over the next 5 years?

Can I redo something similar without too much effort?
Let me be the first to say: charge $5K or more. Keep in mind that if the full rights to an image (photo or illustration) can be sold for a couple of thousands, then a well shot video should be worth much more than that.

Take the expected revenue for the clip for the next 3-5 years, triple that and add some markup. Otherwise, what's the point, right?

Also consider who you're selling to and what they plan to do with it. They're not requesting a buyout for nothing. Bigger companies can afford more. All in all, don't cut yourself short.
I'd take current sales for a year, or extrapolate to get a years worth of figures... multiply it by four and that's probably a reasonable price. Two years would probably be fair, but then your also adding a bit of a markup and accounting for if your clip becomes more popular over time.

You'll probably get a bunch of people saying you should charge $5K, but how realistic is it anybody is going to pay that? They'd be cheaper hiring a professional to shoot it for them. And if it's making you $25 to $50 a month then that's maybe a bit extreme.

Take the $1K or whatever it works out to, go and shoot a new version of the clip, and everyone's a winner!

Thank you guys for all the input, I appreciate it so much. Honestly, at first I think I'm going to charge them $500. After hearing all your opinions most likely I'll be more confident to go over $1K.

Hi guys,

Somebody contacted me and he wants to buy one of my footage with all the rights.
What do you think is a fair price? The footage is city timelapse.

Thank you :)

Wow. That's crazy!  :o

It might not be as stupid as it sounds. If this guy is the author of that '140 effects' pack on Videohive, and he was non-exclusive so he was allowed to sell it elsewhere, then it makes perfect sense. On Envato he gets the gross equivalent of $0.24 per clip, every time it sells.

After Envato get their cut, that works out to $0.17 per clip. On his own site, with no commission, he gets $1.00 per clip.

Obviously I'd never specifically create content just for $1.00 per clip minus commission, unless I knew they were going to sell hundreds of times a month... but if somebody already has an existing pack of multiple clips elsewhere, which isn't exclusive... then splitting them out into individual assets and selling them here could be a reasonable additional revenue stream. That's if the site takes off and gets a decent amount of buyers, of course.

I agree with you.

This is color grading software, most people use it to get cinematic look.

Just crazy, I'm doing 3D (motion graphics) videos, Only have 500 videos over 2 years work on it.

But this guy, I have no idea. Maybe He has more sales than me . lol
Could be. I just searched for "food intro" and most of the clips on the search result are from this port.
Well, if we talk review, I just saw 600 illustrations (not vector) of a marijuana leaf on white in 600 colors, all in one chunk, this is no worse IMO ;D

Yeah,  because when I searched kind a food video, his videos is on popular section. When the first time I saw his video I think "It's good video, with panning technique" then I jump to his port and see all his videos with the same "technique" and I realize that this is just fu**ing still images lol
