Need an option to set licenses as a default type of license on a per image basis. Very important for us with a mixture of editorial, RF, and RM content. Otherwise if I make an image available under an editorial license by default no option is selected when the customer tries to buy the image and it's up to them to actually select it. If they don't and they make the purchase it defaults to a non existant standard license. Could be a liability issue for editorial images.
in the cart manager a way to see not only which image sold and what size but also what license the image sold under.
Nice if also we had a way to see sales on a global side. Right now it's all on a per user basis.
Might have more but right now those are the big ones I've been thinking of that haven't been said already.

What kind of events are you covering though?

Thank you very much ScottBraut.
I can easily understand why some places and reasons have credentials. You don't want to restrict access to an event only to find out people are still just sneaking cameras in and doing shots anyway. Doesn't quite fit and being that it is a private event you by all means have rights to restrict it.
I do have one more question that I have follow up for regarding another event that I have. I can see both sides to the arguement on this and so I'm not sure which way it would go. If it doesn't get answered here I'll address it when shutterstock contacts me though.
Covered an event that takes place in a national forest on land that has a special use permit that they from what I guess lease. The location is open to the public though, So not sure how that would qualify under private/public as it is part of a national forest.
Anyway an event was held at that location which was open to the public, no tickets no special admission, no barricades, no entrance gate, no fees or anything like that to restrict access to the event if you are watching.
How would something like this work?

Because the Sporting Events (and the rest of the restrictions) OVERRIDES the where you were standing guideline?
Simple logic will tell you, if one thing isn't allowed, the rest of the information is irrelevant.
The restrictions say, if you shoot these type of events, for commercial profit... you must have credentials. It doesn't matter what camera, what day, if you know a guy that knows the guy  , where you are standing or if you are someones cousin. Once it's restricted to credentials only, all the other rules, guidelines, allowances and regulations don't exist.
Did that explain it?
Images submitted for editorial use that have been taken of the following require proof of credentials before they will accepted:
● Sporting events (including those taken at noncollegiate schools or recreational, nonprofessional events)
● Concerts
● Festivals
● Trade shows
● Theatrical performances (including those taken at school performances/theater)
● Conventions
● Openings
● Ticketed events
Doesn't matter where you are standing, the above all require proof of credentials.
Does that explain it in a different way that makes more sense?
Per shutterstock.
First, based on our policy, a free or non-ticketed event in a public area would not require credentials. For example, content shot at public street fairs, festivals, parades, and recreational sporting activities taking place in public areas would generally not require credentials. Credentials are required specifically for content shot at events which take place on private property, or which require tickets or an entry fee. Content requiring credentials constitutes a small part of the editorial submissions we receive.
No it doesn't make sense.
This is direct from shutterstock compliance. What am I reading wrong on what they are saying?
the part where you said "And they use the word "generally not" where it should say, usually or normally would. It's confusing, I agree and it contradicts itself, but heck, it's microstock?" I think makes about the most sense out of all of this.

no word yet. case more or less has gone into limbo.
Only change I have really seen is my canadian "friend" has at least taken the information about how I am stealing his information off his public persona wall on facebook though he still has left that information on his private facebook wall.

All seem to saying much of the same things. They created this list of events that require credentials because many times they are on private land or are private events where they as the event organizer are able to restrict the rights of people who enter. The other things they have made a general saying of is events on public land that are public events do not require credentials. They as the above part I quoted have gone so far as to say even that events that are part of the list above do not require credentials as long as they are on public land and at public events. They have said that the reason they ask for credentials is to make sure that if you are on private property or at a private event that you have permission to be there and photograph.

How does it not matter though that they specify events in a public setting do not require credentials?
If I took pictures of a festival would a credential be required?

What about what I quoted directly from Scott from Shutterstock? I'll put it here again so it's easier to find. Based on our policy, a free festival or parade in a public area would not require credentials as the event is open to the public and does not take place on private property A festival is listed in the events from the list you are quoting but Scott has said that if it is in a public area as it is open to the public it would not require credentials as it does not take place on private property. Further quotes from other members of shutterstock have also said things along those same lines http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2517165#2517165As has been our policy, credentials are required for content shot at events on private property, or events which require a paid ticket or entry fee.

For example, content shot at public street fairs, festivals, parades, and recreational sporting activities taking place in public areas would generally not require credentials.

Content requiring credentials constitutes a small part of the editorial submissions we receive. Here they bring up items as well that are on the restricted list that require credentials but seem to make a seperation between public vs private land. It seems that being on public or private land does matter if I'm reading those correctly.

Hi guys,
To clarify...
As has been our policy, credentials are required for events taking place on private property or events which require a paid ticket or entry fee. In our assessment, these types of events commonly restrict attendees from shooting and licensing content taken of the event without the event holder's permission.
Based on our policy, a free festival or parade in a public area would not require credentials as the event is open to the public and does not take place on private property.
The reason we are now requesting event badges and/or correspondence with an authorized representative of the event is that these are the most common types of credentials we receive, and we believe them to be a trustworthy indicator of permission to shoot an event. Our goal is that by having contributors submit these specific credentials to us, the process of reviewing these images will go faster.
However, we also recognize that different events may provide credentials other than a badge or correspondence with an authorized representative. As we state in our policy, we will evaluate credentials on a case-by-case basis when you email us.
If you have any further questions regarding whether content you wish to submit requires credentials, please contact [email protected] for more information.
Thanks,

Having issues with this now. I shot an event that was a bike race on a public road that I took images of from the sidewalk. After having a chat with one of the reps at shutterstock I'm being told that it's a no go. Even though the event is on public property and open to the public I still need permission from the event holder to be able to photograph and use those images being that I am using them for monetary gain. So far the only reason I have been given as to why is being it's a sporting event credentials are required. If it was a parade I'm told it's fine, if it was a festival I would be fine.
Is this normal and do we need to get permission to use images in an editorial license if they are shot on public?
Would this fall under this?

It is from one of those events though it was taken not on private property but a public area. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

Not a problem. as Kerioak~Christine brought up it is listed under the syxtra section. To go a little further it's near the bottom under the main page on syxtra listed uner "Small Features" you can uncheck the "Enable automatic License Message Create Editorial category or use a keyword editorial box" and it will remove it for you

Image I believe explains it all. I'm trying to get rid of all the extra license info that I just don't need showing under the image. I've looked and looked and while might be blind just can't find out where to remove it.

Another thing that might be helpfull, sorry if it has already been brought up, would be to be able to track who made which type of license was bought. I know using the cart manager at least I can see who bought what and it tells me what size they bought but doesn't let me see which license was bought with it. Was it an extended, exclusive, or what?
93

Currently I do have two license types already setup. One for Editorial and the other is a standard RF license. With these editorial images though I do not want the customer to be able to select a standard RF license as these images do not have any model or property release and many of them contain trademarks that wouldn't be suitable for a standard RF license. The only way these should be licensed is under the editorial or else is can create a liability for me.
It does at least allow you to select the editorial license and that works great. It's just it alos allows you to go on without selecting anything as by default on the radio buttons neither of them are selected at which point it defaults to a non existant "standard" license.

I have quite a few editorial images I'm trying to setup and I like the new feature of being able to produce multiple license types. Have an issues though. Under the editorial images I'm using that needs to be the default and only license option available. It doesn't work that way though I'm noticing. When going through process of selecting your image if you don't select editorial license then it defaults to the standard license, I don't have a default license even made. Once you go to the checkout screen it shows that the default license is selected for one of the images and editorial for the other. You can click on the editorial part (Screenshot 2) but on the default license type since there is no default license there is nothing it links to.   Why is this?

One more question. Is there a way to set it up so it shows how many are in each catagory?
96
« on: September 01, 2013, 11:24 »
Okay that solved my situation. I was seeing catagories thinking that was it when I should be using image catagories.
Thank you both for the info :-)

« on: September 01, 2013, 11:05 »
Still need some help here. Under appearance>Menu where I can set my menu structure I have nothing listed under catagories. This is preventing me from using a dropdown under image catagories instead making the user click on catagories at which point they can then see the images available. compare http://txkingstock.comvs http://stockabily.comjust hover your mouse on image catagories and you will see I have none. If you click on it the catagories are there at least but it doesn't just drop down. I can't add catagories as a drop down either for some reason. Screenshots of the place I'm refering to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60678828/symbio.jpgand showing that I do have image catagories setup at least https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60678828/symbio2.jpg

I'm not exclusive through shutterstock but I have used the "On The Red Carpet" program through Shutterstock. When you do that any images you manage to capture are required to be with shutterstock for a period of time in return for them getting you into the event.
