General Stock Discussion / Re: So How was your May?
« on: May 31, 2018, 18:21 »
Pond5 was lower

My work has grown, so I can't handle to do everything by myself, that's why I am looking for options  ;)

53
Are there any good ones worth to hire?

iStockPhoto.com / Re: deepmeta 3.0.19
« on: June 06, 2017, 17:57 »
Why I don't see keywords on my uploaded videos in Deepmeta? I run on Mac.

There is description, title and all other info, just keywords are missing. Even on already accepted clips. Model releases are missing too.

55
Since the big changes were made to uploading on iStock, I can't find the best and fastest way to keyword my videos. This manual selection of not recognisable  keywords is driving me nuts.

Is there any fast way to upload your metadata automatically to ESP and to avoid manual selection of the keywords which are circled?

Shutterstock.com / Partially uploaded videos
« on: February 19, 2017, 13:12 »
I am getting at random partially uploaded clips. I can notice this after the files are accepted. Anyone came across this issue?
 
I would really like to find out where the problem is. At my FTP upload or when files are processed online...

« on: February 04, 2017, 09:44 »
Can I download metadata from iStock video contributor account with the new Deepmeta on Mac and edit it? I can't find that option. I only see option to upload new photos.

58
Does Shutterstock support takes any action if you report clips with spamming and not relevant keywords?

For example looking for NYC footage and there is a ton of Asian cities...

Any news about this topic? Do you see any changes at agencies?

Any new came on the market worth trying?
How would you rate agencies on the right regarding just VIDEO?

Envato?
123RF?
Dreamstine?

Do you know any site about stock video which has a Poll like the one on the right, but has only video displayed?

Shutterstock.com / Tax form update
« on: December 13, 2016, 07:21 »
I need to update my tax form. I changed my account from personal to my company. I have a company in Europe/Slovenia registered as D.O.O. - Limited-liability company.

Which form do I need to send out?

Thanks

Nowdays you can easy shoot stock in the parks without getting asked what are you doing. With a small camera ofcourse.

But what happens when you upload this footage, can they hunt you down? Yellowstone for example has a strict policy about stock. They know a lot even about stock contracts. And there are other parks which don't know what stock is.

63
It is funny that you usually don't need a permit for photography, but if you press record on your DSLR, you need one and you are treated like a big production company with their own set.

General Stock Discussion / National parks and filming permits
« on: October 22, 2016, 22:43 »
Do you apply for filming permits to film stock video in National parks around the world?

After reading some regulations, US parks already have a topic for stock video and photography.

Regulations for commercial filming are quite strict and fees pretty high.

General Stock Discussion / Traveling to USA to shoot some stock
« on: September 16, 2016, 16:11 »
To be 100% legal...

Would I need a working Visa to shoot some stock footage/photos in the USA while on travel? Does shooting stock counts as work before you start selling it? I have a company outside US and I sell stock trough that company.

Did sales drop for all the contributors?

When they started, I had some sales every month. But now in 2016, almost no sales.


What is your situation?

General - Stock Video / Agencies worth uploading nowdays?
« on: June 01, 2016, 17:40 »
Is there any Poll like the one on the right only for video?

I am looking if there is any agency worth uploading where I am not yet a contributor.

At the moment I have at least 30 downloads per month at following agencies:

P5
iStock
SS
VB
Dissolve
Fotolia

0-5 dowloads:
MotionElements
DepositPhotos

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia Rank
« on: June 01, 2016, 17:12 »
I am member from 2013, but started uploading in dec 2015.

I get 700 per month and my rank is 38.000. Weekly top was 5.900.

I have video only

71
It is a quite complicated form. Anyone had success getting back withheld amount?  I need to do it for iStock and Shutterstock.

General Stock Discussion / Tax Withheld
« on: April 05, 2016, 08:03 »
Due to some changes on my account I forgot to send renewed W-8 tax form at iStock. Now they charged me 30% on US and 28% on NON-US sales.

Is there a chance I can claim back this tax for 2015?


I also had the same issue last month at Shutterstock with the same situation.


Thanks for the help

iStockPhoto.com / Getty video contributor
« on: March 17, 2016, 17:57 »
Is there any way to become Getty video contributor if you upload to other agencies and have iStock non-exclusive account?

Alamy.com / Video sales
« on: March 17, 2016, 17:54 »
Anybody uploads video to Alamy?

I had few sales in 2014, but 2015 was zero and no sales until now.

While I have up to 400 downloads per month at other agency.

75
Is there any other agency worth trying?

From high to low sales I submit to: SS, IS, P5, Videoblocks, Dissolve, Fotolia, Deposit, MotionElements, Alamy, Nimia.

Deposit is 100x less than SS, Motion maybe clip or two a month and Alamy, Nimia is 0

Is there any other agency worth submiting that has at least few sales a month? =)

Getty is a no go if you are non-exclusive iStock?
