General Stock Discussion / Re: When best match does not change....
« on: February 24, 2018, 13:40 »
I sure need more clips.

But if the best match does not change, only those with historical good sales are seen. The new ones will most likely be buried.

It may affect you too.

You're toying with deleting your best selling clip? Erm, yeah... makes sense.

It doesn't sell anymore because the landscape has changed. Haven't sold any in at least about 2 years.

Is it only me?

When the best match does not change for a long time, and your most downloaded files are always on the top, it can be a blessing or a curse. 

Unfortunately for me, the most downloaded clip has a very specific location, and the landscape has since changed. I wonder if it explains my slow sales at P5.

I am toying with the idea to have this clip deleted. What do you think?

I also sold one clip for over $100, but not from P5.

The review team is great and very fast, but only one sale for nearly a month.  :'( :'(

Must be something wrong with me.

I use VideoMach, it's not free. No problem with 4K, importing or exporting. However, I don't upload video to Getty.

Why is there an assumption PC cannot do ProRes? All my clips are ProRes and processed in a PC.

You just have to shop for the right software.

January and february 2018 update on my account: shutterstock sales in these 2 months - 27 sales and a lot of days till the end of february (more than 1.000 usd). Pond5 sales in these 2 months ...6 sales (less than 180 usd). Is there any reliable explanation?

I share your pain. I feel the same.

If you don't get many sales with a large portfolio, guess I have to feel lucky that I get sales at all.

Mat, great blog!

Sean, great inspirational work, as always! I thought Mat could use the location anytime he wanted.

 ;D

Hi Franky,

Thanks again for getting back to me. I should mention the login error has gone.

I am mostly interested in seeing how the keyword section works. Now you metioned sync, I am checking again. My last sale was on Dec 31, 2017. Does it mean that the sync is working?

The version is 3.7.9.

236
Mat, thanks for posting the blog. Great to see!

Did you shoot at the location? Is there a video showing you in action?

Hi Franky,

I have updated the software. The result is the same. There is no value in the columns.

Franky, thanks!

I was using 3.7.7. Now I am downloading 3.7.9. Hope it works.

Wonder how I should use DM's keyword section.

When I am in the keyword page, the sub tabs including DL, Last DL, $, ... and so one, only shows 0, or 0.00%. I am sure it was my mistake.

What is the correct way to use the feature?

My second questions is, even though I was able to upload, DM show "Error:  could not log in to Account Management. Check your credential..." What does it mean? What am I supposed to do?

Thanks.

I got an login credential error in DM3 and had to re-enter the password.

241
It does not have an option to make a purchase on behalf of a business, which is odd.

242
Maybe they will send you a birthday present

Haha, probably. Guess they want to compile user profiles. On the hand, their greed keeps some users from spending money on them.

243
According to Sony's Privacy Policy website, birthday is not a requirement: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/network/legal/privacy-policy/

Sony's support really is not very useful, and the employees and supervisor won't provide any more contact info such as their legal department or people at higher level.

This policy actually prevents some customers, such as moi, to buy their apps.


244
I don't understand why Sony Playmemories requires my birthday to buy an app. My camera is registered, and I can pay with a credit card.

Does it bother anyone else?

245
My sales are not that great either. It does seem to decline, even though I have made a lot of efforts to increase my port to over 1000. I only got about 2 sales in Nov and one in Dec., and has got none for January 2018.  :'(

Please critique if you could spare a moment: https://www.pond5.com/artist/charlinex

Are my prices too high or too low?

Sorry, but where can I see my target in 2018?

I went to ESP and cannot figure it out.

Thanks!

You should have got an email about it several days ago.*
It's also linked to from the top (sticky) thread in the Discussion forum.

*If you're not getting their emails, the relevant sticky is #4 in the Help forum.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I did not read the newsletter and had to recover it from the deleted folder.  ;D

Thanks, Franky.

I wish you would consider to make the notes visible through DM and simplify some of the steps.

Hi Franky, another image of mine was rejected, I am supposed to see "notes field" for additional feedback. But I cannot find the field. Would you please tell me how I can find the notes field? Thanks again!

Hi Franky,

Is it possible to switch one image in DM to the editorial folder? The image was initially submitted as regular stock photo, the curator wants it to be editorial. I cannot locate the original image in my many hard drives. Thanks.
Yes, it's possible: right-click (or ctrl-click if on Mac) the file in the DeepMeta file list and select "Move", to move it to a new batch, which you can set as Editorial.

More info at the bottom of following page, under "Moving files between batches":
https://www.deepmeta.com/en/GettingStarted/Files

Hi Franky, thanks for the reply. I clicked to move, and the file is deleted. Perhaps I made the wrong click. Actually the image has been moved to upload folder but no longer in its original folder, nor editorial folder. What did I do wrong?
