VideoHive / Greetings from Envato!
« on: July 21, 2014, 16:46 »
Hi everyone! Josh here from Envato. Many of you might know me from discussions we've had on the PhotoDune board. Im also quite involved with VideoHive and wanted to pop in for a quick introduction. VideoHive is an Envato Marketplace where you can buy and sell royalty-free footage and motion graphics as well as After Effects Project files.

With traffic in the millions, and loads of opportunity for new and quality items, many of our contributors are making 6 figures annually finding the freedom they desire to create and produce what they love and are passionate about.

If you are looking for new and exciting challenges, be sure to check out our Envatos Most Wanted contests where we offer great prizes and cash rewards for items in high demand. In fact, we are currently offering a $5,000 bounty for Trailers created for After Effects, Apple Motion, or Cinema 4D!

We are really excited to have a home here on MicrostockGroup and invite all motion graphics and stock footage junkies to check us out as we are growing fast and always looking for great new contributors!

Feel free to hit me up here, or via my Envato profile if you have any questions, I'm happy to help :)

Hello there, I am putting together a collection of fashion, model, and beauty related photos to be displayed on the PhotoDune homepage for the month of august, and though I have hand selected some myself, I thought it might be fun to hit you all up and see if you have any related items in your portfolio that you think would fit along these lines http://enva.to/NozaZW and would like me to add them to this collection.  Should be some good exposure :)

If you do and are interested, send me the link to the item via my profille on photodune - http://photodune.net/user/JoshuaSprague and I will include it in the collection.

Thanks! - Josh

PhotoDune / Input Needed - How to handle Excess Tags
« on: July 31, 2012, 09:27 »
    Hi guys and gals!  Hope all is well :)  In an effort to improve the upload process at PhotoDune.net we are looking at different ways to handle how tags are managed.  Currently we allow 50 tags that are automatically pulled from the IPTC data.  This works well unless your image contains more that 50, in which case you need to go into that image, manually count the tags, and remove the excess via the dashboard, then you can submit the image .  

    A couple imperfect ideas already on the table:

    -Automatically drop any tags past 50. A downside to this is the potential loss of quality tags. (It may be possible to truncate the tags by the inverse of popularity.
    ie. Get rid of tags on imported items that don't show up as often on other items.)
    -Add tag count and allow contributors to pick and choose what tags to remove.
    -As a variation to option 2, add tag count and allow contributors to pick and choose what tags to remove with an option to auto trim to 50 allowing the system to automatically cut to 50 and proceed.

    If you would be so kind, please share your thoughts on this.  How would you like to see this particular area handled?  How are others in the industry doing this better?

    Thanks so much for your time :)

    -Josh
