No 4K for me and ZIP downloads this month. Something simply does not add up.
Feel the same way.Nowhere else have i gone from 2-5 downloads a day to 2-5 downloads in 2 weeks. I believe it is the end of their subs program where people joined massively and bought massively and after that everyrthing is quiet once again. Like a black friday stock footage marketplace  Helloitsme is reporting growth but he seems to be the only one here so far and we dont know the number of his clips,so...

I had a few 4k sales this month and already surpassed last month's sales amount overall. Is it good or bad?
It's good for you i suppose.

Yes. Net $191.54 after $7.46 CC fee.
That sounds very nice. At this point even one hd sale would be good news for me.

Cmon boys lets all whip out our rulers and measure the length of our +1's lined up.
Whoever has it bigger must be the lesser troll and a hell of a clever guy.
(And people like these try to "inform" the others of the meaning of a proper discussion)

Not me.

definitely yes i am. the main purpose of terrorism is to spread terror and paranoia.
in spreading the news and discussion, you are doing exactly what they want you to do...
That must be by far the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard regarding criticism,discussion, and spreading of information.
yes, and they said the same thing about some other ridiculous person when he told the public the world is round and not flat. the intelligent boob came back with the response...
"That must be by far the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard regarding criticism,discussion, and spreading of information rumour"
What you are doing here is imposing your own criteria on what information is practically calling all information rumour.
If you dont like certain aspects of the discussion, critize those,dont paint it all as rumour.
Information means nothing by itself.It needs discussion and criticism to mean somethin and you just rejected those as means to that end.
Maybe it is people like you who are of the impression that earth is flat since all discussion regarding it's non-flattness must be rumour and these discussions dont belong here anyway?Hows that?
isn't everyone here trying to impose their own critieria...
even the comment you just made...
which obviously you did not read what i said ... i did not say the world is flat...
i said the world is round..
have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror lately???
Ok we have a serious problem of comprehension here.Good luck.

There are those who are not in favour or against a new agency but upload to test the waters.We are professionals (more or less) not football fans.
And that practice can only be evaluated and yield results over time and after one has uploaded a big portion of his/her work so there can be accurate data.
For example if vb continues for me like it did during these past 2 weeks i will pull back eventually and delete my best sellers because i want to sell them where they sell.This makes things simple for me although i know that by having them "sitting" in a mediocre agency wont do any harm.
I dont think also that vb threatens anyone,just as videohive doesn't threaten anyone and everything in there is sold for 8 usd.Major producers have thousands of sales at this price there and these same clips are also best sellers everywhere else for moderate to very high prices.
Are they that stupid to steal from themselves?, and im talking 10X the number of sales!

Feedback on video royalties sounds about right,as long as there aren't subscriptions (are there?)
But FT is not attractive to video buyers that's for sure.They must be the only agency that plays back clips at dropped framerate.I wouldn't buy stock from them if i had to evaluate motion and rhythm of a clip which is pretty much what video is all about.
They said they are in the process of changing their video encoding systems, whatever that means for playback or accepted formats, (prores is bugged) .

Was wondering about commissions too.I have uploaded some test clips and opted out of DPC and subscriptions (didn't they recently say though that video will not be offered for subs?)
Also they accept 4K but hey have not put a price yet.4K and UHD files show as extended licences for 200credits.What's up with that?

Posted from a Danish member of the board. Putin has some points.
I support him and France.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2jA88RlQ2c
As much as i loathe and despise that idiot one thing i take from his speech.That the American elite is of such a low level (intellectually and strategically) that has managed to create chaos from which no one can benefit,not even them (USA for example has no control of the oil). It's after all the American doctrine of scorched earth.USA can't win a war nowadays (winning means seizing control not bombing with planes) so they have decided to create an array of failed states using allies (good Al Quaeda-bad Al-Quaeda,...anyone remember?).Obama himself has said it (if you can deconstruct his speech) . Again this article straight from the horse's mouth http://www.juancole.com/2014/09/defensive-rhetoric-offense.htmlAfter all Victoria Nuland's leaked comment on the devastating Ukraine civil war (sorry i meant the just struggle for liberation against the tyranny of Russia) was plain and simple "F*** Europe" Thanks for letting me contribute my low level of writing to this discussion as someone earlier -who has no idea that immigration is a historical fact long before him meaning that his ancestors were a bunch of "apes" according to the natives- eloquently put.

Well i dont know about you or anyone else here ,but im not feeling stressed at all,actually a bit refreshed, which is the side effect of honestly expressing your opinion in public whether people like it or not.
I remain productive and i dont think im losing face as contributor or weaking my resolve or my determination for anything really.
Of course if i were of the same mindset as you are i would propably post this in the same scope as you posted, which implies that either this is a bootcamp where we are all in unity and internal struggle lowers out strength and mind (a bit fascist in its philosophy) ,or that you are nothing more than a hypocrite who was booed and stepped back and decided to do a tactical retreat for the sake of us all.
Oh the humanity....

Have we all missed the fact here that this attack like the Charlie Hebdo attack was orchestrated and executed by people who were born and lived in France?
Yes i think we have.
It's not like we dont know at this point (but choose to ignore it) how a young Algerian-french black mueslim has it in the ghettos,just like a black young mueslim living in London and how these experiences form him and push him towards islam
Makes you see from a different perspective the quote "we will bring the war back to you".
Once again public dialogue as orchestrated by the media has (deliberately) failed in addressing the situation.
All this crap in the media agenda about refugees and passports and bombing Syria is nothing but blowing dust to the eyes.

People like this have always existed. They have just gone by different names like *, Communists, Socialists, etc.
I'd love if you would continue for a bit with the social and political groups instead of posting "etc". Im sure that if you continued, a bit further down the line,pretty much everyone (except you apparently) , would find themselves fitting in the description of what you call evil.

What an astonishingly vulgar and propagandistic film.Who cares about formalities about copyrighted music etc after this hideous display of "journalism"?
This propagandistic film reminded me of a video that had gone viral a few years back about an allegedly evil African warlord (a mythical figure-literally as we learned-) who went by the name of Koni.
Altough these 2 films seemingly have nothing in common they share the same properties.
They are overly dramatized and edited with the sole purpose to provoke raw, thoughtless, emotion like the cheapest media reportage we see everyday that try to promote an agenda.No information is shared,only images,no objectivity, and no political message whatsoever.
Everything is out of context, juxtaposition everywhere.* Hitler would be proud of today's editing.
I consider this the careful work of a nationalist (there is nothing random in the way it's being handled) and the only thing that makes me feel somewhat better after watching it is that nationalism
is thankfully a concept out of place in todays world,although we are being told that it's recurring.

Same here. A couple dozen sales last month and only 2 so far this month. Glad to know it's not just me.
I noticed last month that they started reporting my sales a day after they happened with a whole bunch of sales the last couple days of the month. Maybe they're trying to get a handle on returns by not reporting sales until they've cleared.
Yes i noticed the delay too for 2-3 days and also the major boost in sales during the last days,sometimes 3-4 sales of the same clip which has never happened for me anywhere to that extend.

Same experience here.Massive drop especially during the past 10 days. It could be that sales happen as long as people subscribe massively for a period of time and pick a few extra shots on their way out Explains the massive consecutive sales of the same few clips during the past month. Or not. Can't figure them out anyway...

This thread taught me that radical islam fundamentalists who are lonely and sad men as well risked their lives in the Mediterranean sea just so they can throw it away in Paris for money offered that they will never see anyway.
Sounds right.
If thats the manner in which we deal with these things as westerners then to hell with Europe
and to hell with the west.
Which are the only certainties in our present.
And not because of Islam...

So far it looks like (someone correct me if im wrong) they've priced clips at 49 for those who continued uploading AFTER the announcement.So they didn't go back to change prices from 79 to 49 to those who uploaded all these clips to vb.
And for good reason,a lot people would pull ports and general mayhem would occur.
But the way has anyone seen the new contributor's dashboard that they promised month ago (twice) where all magic things can happen?
Guess not.
That's the extend of things we can expect from them.
So until sales dry out then....
That's inaccurate. They repriced all of my clips to $49 without me doing a thing but get pissed off.
So long for my theory then.

Yes you are propably right.After all it's the old saying. "if you dont have something good to say then say nothing at all".
Forums should be about * up to companies hoping they will promote our stuff better that someone else's,and a way to rant about how our unique once in a lifetime stuff (that sadly everyone else seems to have) sell.
Love your views.
Mail this post to every agency you can think of.
These poor unfrotunate souls need some cheering up from time to time,since we've been so harsh and unfair towards them.
Surrealism reached 11/10 here.
