Super cool! Next time video contributors!
It's funny you should mention that...we are in the process of planning a video for videographers as I'm typing this 
What other types of videos would y'all like to see? I've got a few ideas in the works and would love some more suggestions!
-Mat
Please! Anything but corporate videos with cheese models and shiny modern interiors! Well, the real world is outside with real people...
@fritz I appreciate your feedback. It was the point I was trying to make at the beginning...take advantage of the opportunities unique to your world..if you manage a cool jazz bar that is dark and seedy in New Orleans then create content there and it will scream authenticity. I work at Adobe so what you saw is my real world...granted, the San Jose office buildings are a bit fancier than Seattle but regardless, that is a location that is unique to Adobe. When I first saw those buildings, my jaw dropped to the floor and I knew I wanted to do a shoot there. FYI, I did do a series of videos in a home setting a while back. You can check them out here if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=yk5ciGLEk80https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=NaEdpdct6BUThanks again for , please keep the suggestions coming! -Mat

Thanks for posting this Mat!
If you're going to profile videographers, I think it would be great to see a series about top contributors producing stock footage at different scales:
-Full stock production studio
-Solo stock shooter working full-time
-Part-time stock shooter, etc.
It would be fascinating to know the similarities between them that help them to succeed, as well as major differences. Their workflows, investments, sustainability, etc.
It seems like (anyone correct me if I'm way off) the majority of active members on microstockgroup fall into the solo producer / part-time stock shooter category, so it would be great to peak into the processes of those who might not post here as actively.
Other than that - I would be very interested in seeing videos about the people that actually buy stock footage. Case studies that could help contributors better understand the actual needs of buyers - how they find the footage their looking for, how we might be able to provide more in demand content to them, etc.
Lastly - I think everyone would like to see more data. Pulling back the curtain on how best to succeed on Adobe based off of actual numbers and statistics that aren't often provided by stock agencies. I'm sure a lot of this is confidential, but would be fascinating to know more about search algorithms and such.
Thanks again!
These are outstanding requests! I will do my best to get as much of this done as I possibly can! -Mat

@MatHayward
Thanks, Mat but I am not talking about the recent new uploads. I am trying to order all my previous footage keywords as I uploaded this footage with the keywords from my CSV which is not ordered by relevance. Adobe/Fotolia uses keyword order of importance which is now forcing me to order these. If you guys could add a way to copy and paste keywords in blocks it would be a real lifesaver for older uploads. I have thousands left to order and with the current interface, it is really a slow and painful process which could be streamlined if we had the same interface as recent uploads to fix the older ones. Any help would be appreciated. 
I'm not sure I follow your thought process here. By pasting keywords in blocks are you wanting to paste the first 7 keywords so they stay on top, then add the rest in any order? If so, you should be able to do that. Just paste the first 7 in the top keyword box and hit the tab key. When they are distributed into their own individual boxes, paste the remaining keywords into the 8th box and hit tab. If I'm totally missing the point, please explain what you are wanting in more detail. Thanks, Mat

Something is driving me nuts... On the Adobe Interface you can fix keywords according to importance, add and replace them etc.. But I have files from the same series and cannot copy and paste the keywords, taking literally several minutes per file. This is such a workflow nightmare.
I have to manually order every file in the series as there is no replace keywords function. To anyone that has a fix please share! 
You can copy and paste keywords now. To change the view from individual boxes to one large box with all keyword click the icon in the upper right corner that says "paste keywords."
-Mat
This morning I have tried to copy the ordered keywords from one file and to paste them to 5 other files.
It failed! It seem that it is not possible to paste the keywords to several files in one time
I have confirmed the workflow for this and as far as I can tell, everything is working normally.
User can select multiple files at once.
Click Paste Keywords button.
Paste the selection of keywords in that window.
Click Save work button.
All files selected should now have those keywords added.
FYI, this will only add those keywords to your selected content. It does not replace existing keywords. If you want to do that you must click "erase all keywords" before pasting the new ones.
Probably this was the problem because my keywords were 50, and so pasting other 50 keywords over them did not replace them.
Maybe some alert message would be welcome 
Aha! Mystery solved, thanks for the follow up information. I'll share your suggestion for an alert with the development team. Thanks! -Mat

Hi Everyone! Last year Sean Locke, Inti St. Clair, Terry White and myself flew to San Jose and created a series of videos while shooting stock at the Adobe Headquarters. We had a great time, got some amazing content and the videos came out pretty great if I do say so myself! If you want to see Sean, Inti and Terry in action take a look at the videos inside the blog post linked here: https://theblog.adobe.com/photographing-modern-workplaces/Cheers! Mat Hayward

I use Easy Release. Works great when the model is right in front of you. Every once in a while I pull a bonehead move and forget to have them sign on the spot. Does anyone know of a way to email a release for people to fill out and sign electronically, then email it back?
I use Easy Release for most of my model releases since it is so convenient to keep in my phone. Another option is to create a release using Adobe Sign from within the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. That sends an email to your model to click, sends it back to you to click and then it's automatically in your account. It's very easy to use though I'm not sure if it can be used outside of Adobe Stock so check on that before trying it if you need the release for multiple agencies. Some more information can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/upload-a-model-or-property-release.html-Mat

The first step you need to take is to file a formal DMCA complaint. Instructions on how to do this can be found here: https://www.adobe.com/legal/dmca.html-Mat

Hi everyone,
I would like to know what kind of content to upload to Adobe Stock?
Thanks in advance.
Adobe has a very diverse customer base around the world. The need for content is equally diverse. Shoot what you are passionate about and that will likely stand out in your work. We post some calls for content on the Adobe Stock blog from time to time. Check out the archives and bookmark the page to keep up on future posts as well. https://theblog.adobe.com/creative-cloud/adobe-stock/Happy Holidays! Mat

Mat, thanks very much for a reminder - very helpful.
It'd be great if you could suggest to the IT folks that the system send out email reminders as needed to contributors prior to tax forms expiring - not everyone hangs out here.
How do I know when my tax form was created? It says no expiration date and I have no idea whether this is old from FT days or newer.
Yes, I would like to see an automatic reminder go out as well. Thanks for the suggestion. -Mat

Matt when I click on the link nothing loads. All other links work. Does this mean my tax form is up to date?
Thnx
It might just mean that there is an issue with your browser. Shoot me an email with your Adobe ID and I'll take a look. Email [email protected]

Generally the tax forms are valid for 3 years. If yours was created in 2014 or earlier, my advice is to update the form.

Hi All,
Just a friendly reminder to update your tax form at Adobe Stock if your current form was created during or before 2014. Those forms will expire on January 1 which means all of your sales will be subject to maximum withholding.
You can update your tax form by clicking the Contributor Account link in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal.
Happy Holidays!

It depends on the image. If you can identify and correct the specific technical issue it's generally OK to resubmit one time. If you are unsure what the technical issue is, I recommend you post the image here and ask for some feedback before resubmitting.
