Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / MOV file questions
« on: October 17, 2013, 06:06 »
Hi all,

I use a pentax K-30 and i have a few MOV video files which aren't able to be imported to lightroom, but i can play it with quicktime.

Anyway, i am thinking maybe that few files have some problem so i tried to resave it into mov format using mpeg streamclip.

the original file is 17.01MB, resave another file as mov, and it is 263.85MB. Why the size becomes so big as they are same format?

why not just contact all the news and magazines? alamy or other agency will need to look for buyer or i don't know a buyer who is interested of ufo will look for stock agency.

ok will try it out..

so actually if i pick up a book about using wordpress, i can customize my symbiostock site? right?

it is actually very fast if someone set up a steps by steps. everything is a few clicks but takes you long time to figure out or ask.

thanks everyone for the time.

I think if you do it this way, you will end up to make someone unhappy.. that's why usually it is easier to get models, at least you paid and no trouble.

I will feel strange that I see my photos end up in some place but i got nothing real return.

even a friend or relatives may think you are taking their advantages i guess.

Hi everyone,

I live in an area where we have tons of small kids and young families.

I don't want to go the classic way, shoot clients offering prints etc. I would like to offer them free shooting for signing a model release. I want to make it very clear. So they understand what they are signing, but not too offending. We have one big playground with advertisement board, where I would like to put there some kind of flyer and then follow up with personal meeting.

Does anyone have any tips for the right wording that you tried and it worked.

I don't want to use word free, as in fact it is not free, it is trade, I'm giving them photos and online gallery, they are giving me release?

Thanks for any  tips.

i saw some sites with a slider of images (which i think is a widget)..

but i saw some like with a composite of images, but which is not link to every single image. Guess it is just a composite banner?

I cant really find the post about making a contact sheets..it is a html code that display images in grids?

Symbiostock - Technical Support / batch categories
« on: October 14, 2013, 04:21 »
Hi all,

I wonder if there a way to batch process photos into same categories? i saw one can choose categories when edit a photo.

But not sure how to do for a batch of photos.. thanks.

83
I am able to add the featured images and latest images widget..now maybe just something to display in front page.. will check the contact sheets.. thanks.


I saw some widget like latest images, featured images. How about if it is possible to display grid of my images on front page? or big thumbnail display as categories.

I have gone through some symbiostockguide but can't find the way..

thanks.

you can add featured or similar to your site with the various plugins that have been mentioned

if you just want to display some fixed images, you can create an html table and display your images (with links to full sized if you want).  see other posts about making contact sheets

thank you very much, sometimes it is just a easy job..but without having an instruction it takes a lot of time. thanks!

Hi, I create an above header menu and manage to choose what i want to show it.

for the first front page, I create a new page with cta template, but how can i make it the landing page? let's say my site is www.xyz.com, i tried to create a page title 'homepage' then it is always www.xyz.com/homepage

i will try to play around it.


In order to display featured or latest images on the front page, you have to use home page cta template. To make a grid of more than six images, you have to change code, and you would need to do a search for that, this forum or the other forum. Once you choose the template, go to widgets and place them in the area on the page you want them. In other words, drag the latest images widget from the left side over into the area of the home page area on the right, such as below content, etc.

The part you want to get rid of...it has been months since i did that, but i think i created a an above header menu, then just checked the items i wanted to appear. You do that in Appearance>Menus.


Hope that helps.




In the dashboard go to Settings>Readings. The first two items is where you choose which page is the home page.

actually i tried to post in that forum, but maybe i will check here more and i guess i can get more replies here..

True, but for those of us not on the latest version 2.7.2 or whatever it is at now, there are a TON of answers still here that apply. I don't see why it's such a big problem to let people choose where they post. People (me included) come to this forum because ALL the stock news is here...sometimes it's just convenient to post here.  :)

I don't mind posting in both places.

OK. Whatever.

Shutterstock.com / Re: panorama merge photos size
« on: October 08, 2013, 10:30 »
i saw some panorama image in shutterstock offer as 'super' size, more than 10000px long size..

But maybe some people decide to upload big file to attract buyers who need big file, hopefully it pays for a better price.

Hi All,

I tried to figure out how to customize the basic look of my site, but have no clue.

basically i want to remove those link, and maybe only left 'login' link..



and also I wonder how can i display some images on my front page?

I saw some widget like latest images, featured images. How about if it is possible to display grid of my images on front page? or big thumbnail display as categories.

I have gone through some symbiostockguide but can't find the way..

thanks.

Shutterstock.com / panorama merge photos size
« on: October 06, 2013, 23:40 »
hi all,

I did some panorama merged photo which end up as quite big size, more than 10000pixel long size. What size you reduce to meet the minimum shutterstock requirement?

I saw shutterstock offer super size, but everything seems same price so it doesn't really make sense to offer the maximum size.

Symbiostock - General / Re: Customize symbiostaock theme
« on: October 06, 2013, 00:32 »
Hi,

I click to activate the child theme for symbiostock, and it happens the menu is dissappeared and even i tried to add it back it won't appear.


do i need to activate the child theme? is there a way to remove it?

the guide on symbiostockguide step10 about child theme is not available.

I don't know how to make a standard look for my site, like putting images in gallery, showing some thumbnails on first page.

all i got is a 'Hello world' for first post. like a blog post.

how to i make everything like a stock agency?

Cameras / Lenses / clean dust on sensor-pentax
« on: October 05, 2013, 10:42 »
hi all,

I got quite a lot of of dust on sensor, which is obvious when smaller apertures.

I am using pentax k-30 which i can flip up the sensor and facing the camera downward and use a blower to blow the sensor. I tried it before, and i found that sometimes the dust is blow into the viewfinder.

what you guys use to clean the sensor? i wonder any tool that 'suck' the dust out instead of blow it.


92
yes i mean connected to the symbiostock search..

I am still getting my site ready so i haven't connected the the symbiostock overall search engine. I wonder are those buyers using the search or just came across all your guys site and bought it..

I didn't think people will buy images from some kind of personal website before, but i think maybe i am wrong.

do you guys get more sales by joining the symbiostock network search?
did you mean as opposed to a symbio site not connected?

right now all sym sites have chosen to be part of the network, so there's no way to know for sure, but any sales are sales we likely wouldn't have made if we didn't have sym sites

i notice i can upgrade to premium and business account.

is it a must to use a premium and business account? it seems involve monthly charge..

basically i want to keep the online site a passive income option that i don't want to spend something if not necessary.

Hi leo,

do you mean we should discuss symbistock on other forum instead here?

i am able to find where to put the paypal info, but there is no way we can get it done by basic paypal account?

I will prefer to deal with only basic paypal account.

what is the reason we need a professional level account? ( i guess we have to pay for it?)

by the way, can i test the purchase by my own paypal?(buyer and seller same address)
