General Stock Discussion / Re: Contributing to Artgrid?

best travelvideo and Visualab- *sigh* thanks - yes, you are spot on. I went back and really searched around for concrete percentages payment info. Zippo.  It's like a car salesman wanting to sell you a new shiny car - but don't look under the hood. They are off my radar. Their cinematographer hipster marketing vibe is front and center.

I had not considered Almay for video contribution until I read this post. Does anyone know if the company is on track to accept 4K videos in the near future? Thanks -

Hi, Same question here. I just popped on to see if anyone here has been working with this company.  They are looking mostly for graded true 4K+  ProRes footage - and they actually take the time to curate the shots. Thank goodness. They are not upfront - or maybe I'm just not seeing it - about their policy on rights and exclusivity. In fact, there is not much info at all concerning payment on their subscription plan (never a good sign) and sales figures. They simply ask for 4-6 portfolio links. I'll go ahead with the process and report. If you have any update, please post. ~ Meg

Searching for wisdom of the video microstock contributors group here. I have a stockpile of video Im preparing to process and upload to all the usual suspects. Each micorstock company provides a list of acceptable video formats. Some provide the order they prefer. The video I shot is both on a Red and a Canon DSLR 4K. Obviously, the beauty lies in range editors making the video purchase have to color correct and composite this colorspace in ProRes and ProResHQ.   

I noticed Brightontl mentioned he conducted a search for top-selling 4K videos. This showed few actually selling in the ProRes format family. I spent the morning checking myself - totally spot on - very few on the top pile. My question is: Does it help video sales to submit footage in a more widely acceptable, compressed format such a JPEG or H.264? Or in the group's opinion is the demand for less compressed 4K noticeably on the rise?
