Well  - went in to look at MediacastPro
and got this message -

"At present, the platform accepts registrations only from the
European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
Leave your email to be notified when we open registrations for your country"

What .??
Why would they block all other countries?

This is strange. I'm from Spain and I had no problems. You could ask them directly.

Took a quick scan thru medicCastpro's Terms of Use.

Noticed this:
5.5. Each Seller can use 100 GB of free space for uploading files. Any additional space can be purchased from the "Optional" page.

100gb won't go very far when uploading video footage.

I had read something about this fact on LinkedIn, which is also stated in the FAQs: "We are not an agency but a marketplace. Unlike agencies, we do not submit uploaded content for approval and have much lower sales commissions. This exposes us to the risk of getting dozens of TB of videos that are unsaleable due to their low quality. To limit this risk, we give each seller 100 GB of space, charging for any additional space. However, if a seller uploads very good quality material that is being sold, they can contact us and we will be happy to provide them with additional space for free. As of today, an additional 1 TB is already automatically given away for free for 12 months to all users who sign up. Paying for the additional space is only a deterrent to prevent too many low-quality videos from being uploaded. Our business is to make money on sales commissions and not on space rental."

I can confirm that I have 1 TB of space in my mediaCastpro account.

Okay, thank you very much! To your knowledge, is there a price range that you have to stay within? If they feel the price is too high or too low, could they reject the content?

Ahah, that's right, maybe I showed a little too much enthusiasm!

However, if it's enough to say that I like their business model (letting sellers choose the prices) to be mistaken for one of their employees, then maybe it means that few people think like me and their platform won't grow much... Enthusiasm downsized :)

I just created a new topic to ask which agencies allow choice of video pricing, to have some "bigger" alternatives on which to go.

Hi,

which microstock agencies allow sellers to choose the selling price of their videos? Are there any price ranges you have to stay within anyway?

Thanks!

I found this forum by searching for opinions about mediaCastpro, to understand the earning prospects, but it seems there are still none to be found.
I registered a few days ago, after seeing an advertisement on LinkedIn, and uploaded some videos. The company seems serious and attentive to me (I had a problem in enabling the profile to sell and, by contacting them, in less than two hours they had already solved the problem for me), but they opened very recently and so they still have very few clips for sale.
In any case, I really appreciate their different business model than usual, i.e., letting the sellers choose the prices: I always found it annoying that the agencies chose the prices for me. This is why I hope they grow (and also because of the very low commissions they charge).
In a few months I will tell you how the earnings have been, hopefully. They don't require exclusivity anyway, so I don't have much to lose even if I don't sell anything.
