Thanks to both Mantis and Rinderhart!

I rarely get rejections, and this rejection does not make sense. Just want to make sure that a resubmit will not be an offence.

Although my IS income has dropped around 20% or less, the revenue has somewhat been stable. I have only been uploading sporadically in small numbers in the past years.

I have no immediate plan to leave exclusivity. There are many other options to sell my images without violating the exclusive agreement. I hate to see my images sold at 0.75, therefore letting SS, FT and DT sell my images for even less is just not an option. I must add that GI sales sometimes generate over $100.

Over the years, it pains me to see how my images were used glamorously while I got pittance. It's sad that we often realize the value of our work too late. The most important thing for me is, I am reducing my reliance on Getty/IS, however, it will not serve my best interest to destroy the stable income stream.

I have had two this year.

The next big thing, I hope, lies in fine art, and not just pixels. 

Interesting. I thought 500px was a Russian-Canadian owned company originally.

I set my 4k at around $120-200.

I have started to price some of my 4k work lower than 200 as well. If it's is a very common subject then I will price it a few bucks lower.  My 4k ranges from $140 to $200. I still have yet to sell a single 4k clip, though.  Been shooting it since May 2015.

I have sold both through P5 and SS. I agree it depends on the subject.

I set my 4k at around $120-200.

That's the reason why I trust my own external hard drives better.

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply.

I cannot connect to the server via ftp. Which port should I use?

Peter, it was just a straight conversion from 15p to 25p. Please enlighten me because I don't really know much about video.

If you take each frame of a 15 fps (15 frames for one second) clip and play them sequentially on a 30 fps time line, (I'll use 30 because the math is easier) you can see that you are now needing 2 seconds of 15 fps to make up a second of 30 fps timeline. So the viewer sees 2 original seconds in a one second period. It is obviously speeded up. The quality would be good just time-lapsed.

But you could also ask the editor to play the 15 fps in a 30fps time line but keep the 15 fps in real time. Now there needs to be a frame added between every frame you shot to fill in the timeline to make it 30 fps. The quality here is iffy especially if the scene is rapidly changing.

Yes, it looked like time lapse. Thanks again!

It may have nothing to do with the time conversion.

Zeus, thanks for the reply. Could you please tell me whether or not it is a good idea to shoot night clip at 15p and then convert to higher frame rate? I was just experimenting but the results have confused me.

Getty will distribute VCG images outside China, therefore Getty controls Corbis images to a certain degree. I think this is what he meant.
