Yeah there's something that's off on my account as well. Doesn't add up to what shows under free but also when i refreshed i saw the number of images on free went down. Not sure if its still updating

2
There's some payments that's showing now.

Well I guess it would depend how many of those you made perpetual and if they choose the same amount of perpetual as yearly.

I think we able to see which images was chosen for the free collection, click under free it no longer shows under review.

Image Sleuth / Re: Thief with 35k portfolio (photos) at Freepik
« on: September 19, 2024, 11:45 »
I had same issue, he downloaded my whole portfolio from Envato. They asked me for proof and I said it's all mine, I sent them one image and link to my other sites and they deleted the one image. I had to back and forth for over a month and finally got his profile deleted last week

I found a number of my images in his account.
I sent a DMCA takedown to Freepix yesterday and got a reply that my images were removed and his account was blocked immediately.

Just checked and it's still there.

Adobe Stock / Re: Firefly payment on 13 septembre 2024

It updated

I also got the e mail but see nothing

I received email from Adobe Stock a few minutes ago saying that they've added a second round of Firefly payments but I don't see it in my account. They said "A banner on the Insights > My Statistics tab in the Contributor portal provides the specific amount that was added to your account." I did select the "Other Payments" dropdown and it said "You have no other payments"

Does anyone else see anything?

I think waiting until the banners were visible to send the email would have been a good idea...

General Stock Discussion / iStock royalty
« on: August 26, 2024, 22:51 »
Stock royalties sometimes feel like a scam. Just found this image of mine used all across South Africa by BP and I got a whopping 40 cents from iStock for this

It must be the Envato Subscribers they added with the purchase of the company.

One more exiting news as of today : https://investor.shutterstock.com/news-releases/news-release-details/shutterstock-completes-acquisition-envato

I like that part the most:
"Adds 650k subscribers, more than doubling Shutterstock's subscriber base to 1.15 million.
Increases Shutterstock's Content revenue from video, audio, graphics, fonts and templates"

This is the way a company should grow according to them. Very short sighted though.

All the images that show were previously chosen ones, none of the new nominated ones show so i wonder if this is the final chosen ones.

Looks like 9 files out of 47 were chosen. I am sure the money will come soon.

This agreement marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we wanted to take a moment to let you know what this means for you, our Authors. 
 
Most importantly, Envatos commitment to empowering creatives will continue. The services and support you have come to expect from us, and the relationship we have with you, will remain.
 
We see this as a pivotal moment in Envatos journey and are excited for the future. We have confidence in the alignment of values and the strong strategic fit that underpin this upcoming union between Envato and Shutterstock.
 
We will continue to keep you informed of any important updates that come with this transition.
 
Finally, we want to express our gratitude to you, our authors, for your continued support and dedication to the Envato community. As we move forward, we will continue to listen to the needs of our creative community, build innovative products, and create an environment where your creativity can thrive.

They accepted me for video then my port from twenty20 (photos) got transferred as well. I think photos does better than video if I look at my breakdown. Marketplace hardly sells but I had like 3 market purchases.

I just looked for my envato bestsellers on ss and couldnt find them. They have been on envato two years.

Can still happen of course.

their unlimited plan is still restricted to normal usage, which is what every unlimited agency plan I have seen is so far. They dont let you download the entire library on then plan.

It is more a really cheap subs plan.

But because they share 50% artists have good returns.

@peru

I would suggest to ask in their forums. But if you are adding prices, are you really in the video elements program? That sounds like the normal marketplace and i have never sold a video there.

Their system of marketplaces is very, very confusing. I am one of the few people that managed to get transferred from twenty20.

Need to start doing normal photos again and filling up the port I have there.
I wish they would take me for video.

Adobe Stock / Re: 2023 Adobe Stock contributor bonus plan details
« on: February 19, 2024, 10:26 »
Same happened to me. I thought it would start counting when my current plan expires.

Okay, my current Photography plan expires October 2024. I just redeemed my new code (photography plan). Instead of extending my current plan, it left my current
plan intact (expiring on 10/24) and added a 2nd plan which expires 2/25. This is not what I wanted! I wanted to just extend out my current plan.

How do I fix this?

Thanks (I do appreciate the bonus btw)

Almost missed it, but I saw a small fee from the contributor fund yesterday. Not even half of what we got in 2023.
Same with me, it was peanuts.
