General - Top Sites / Re: Thoughs On 4K Video For Stock

Has anyone tried working with h264 files in post-production? From our experience, it's a disaster codec for PC to ingest.

You need a better computer. If it is really a disaster for your PC it means that you have a very weak or very old computer. Apple computers are not a standard for performance.

I am amazed how people speak of H264 being a bad codec without doing a reading of its specs or at least the Wikipedia description. H264 has lots of levels and profiles of compression: some loose data others do not.

"If you are re-encoding using the same codec/bitrate you are definitely LOSING quality." - are you serious? It depends on the codec - some of them are lossless! At least google prior to posting such things.

The second email adds to the first one, so the sum is triple :)

You uploaded seven videos to them but you do not know if they want exclusivity or not?

What keeps confusing me:

1) Having problems with a single model means SS is bad but Stocksy is good?
2) The problems are only on SS? What if the images get sold by other agency and the model sees them and takes both you to the court? The model could follow you anywhere not only on SS. How did she found only about SS but not about the other agencies you work with?
3) Is your team stuck in a single model? If true, that means bad bad bad management and you should fire the manager who got you into a such nasty situation but do not shoot SS which understandably is trying to keep safe its ass(that is the rest of contributors).


For a fair judgement would be good the hear to model's opinion too, not only yours.

Stocksy is desperately trying to attract new photographers after has rejected many of them. When it started I submitted them some good images and they rejected my application. I know, you could say the images were not good. Yes, they were, I know what I am talking. Stocksy is just another arrogance similar to iStock.

The thread is biased, it is advertising because it does not talk only on SS but it presents Stocksy in a good light. Stocsky is as bad as any other agency.

The thread should be removed.

Hello! Just got an answer to my support ticket:

Thanks for checking with us. We definitely have not been hacked :)

We did however have a glitch over the weekend which resulted in some pages sending people in an infinite loop. That was fixed on Monday. However, some browsers "cache" this behaviour, so if it is still happening I would recommend you clear your cache or switch browsers.

We only use https on pages which have sensitive information - such as a login, purchase, or account info page. Regular pages do not use https at this time.


On short: everything is fine! :)

CanStockPhoto.com / Canstockphoto.com Site Weird Behaviour
« on: February 06, 2017, 00:00 »
For the last couple of weeks I had problems accessing the Canstockphoto.com site. I noticed they switched from a secure web address, with an 's' after http to a non secure one. After changing all my bookmarks by eliminating the 's' I managed to access and log into my account. The absence of the 's' means the site is no longer using a secure connection. Did they do that on purpose or the site has been hacked? Am I the only one having this issues or trying to access the site as nobody else complained for a long time?
