So I have a camera that with good setup I could easily just press the button, record a 10-12sec clip and the video is ready for upload. I always record with native white balance and flat colours to give more control to the person who will be post processing it. The disadvantage is that the colours are faded and whole video might looks unattractive in the eyes of potential buyer.

So here is my dilemma: should I post-edit every each of them, adding vibrant colours and life to the clip to increase my chances of selling it, or keep it flat and ready for post-process work with hope that professional will stumble upon it and understand that faded colours are here purposely to give him more room for the control/editing? Or maybe upload both versions??

Would love to hear how do you guys handle it

Just looking at few big selling stock video sites and their contributors.

Things I observed:

- 80% of all videos never been purchased/downloaded
- there are only small % of contributors who make a living from it
- lots of videos published are "blind shoots" of what might sell, a bit of mess, often with quantity and not quality in mind

This all make me feel that its hard for a new contributor to come and make a living from it even in a long term.

I would love to hear your thoughts - both from new and experienced contributors
