I expect that they will remove the option to price your clips if those are not exclusive to P5

Did you notice any first problems with AfterDodecs?
At their official page thy mention:
https://autokroma.com/AfterCodecs/tech-spec/index.html

"Known Limitations
Dont use the ProRes for broadcast. Always test your hardware and software. It is a reverse engineered version of ProRes not approved by Apple ; for example ProRes 4444s Alpha channel doesnt seem to be accepted by Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio Mini.
For x264 Quality < 100 and x265, dimensions of the video must be even (odd resolutions will fail)
Alpha renders (ProRes 4444 and Hap) dont store the Alpha mode, by default when reimported in AE the footage will be in Straight Mode
Theres a slight color shift when ProRes videos are played in Quicktime Player and VLC (but no color shift when the video is re-imported in AE)
There seem to be an issue with High DPI screens on OSX (4K / 5K), press SHIFT+ESC to put the window back in the top left corner
When rendering with After Effects :

ProRes 422 always have a soundtrack even if you dont render sound (for AE OSX compatibility)
If the content is complex (with small repetitive patterns in background for example etc.), AfterCodecs ProRes has a hard time matching the official Apple bitrate : files can be 50% bigger but they will also be of higher quality. If that happens, you can try to step down the profile (e.g. choose Normal over HQ)
ProRes 422 has a color shift when reimporting on Premiere Pro / Media Encoder CC versions <= 2014"

I'm using Premiere Pro for rendering:
Looks like they meant don't use it for live tv broadcast unless you test it with your hardware/software
Clips were looking great.
Audio wasn't rendered with the clips

134
I tried aftercodecs 1.3 from AeScripts and I've sent some clips rendered as ProRes 422 HQ to AS, SS, P5, and SB. The clips were accepted and online now at AS and SS, still pending reviews at P5 and SB but I think everything will be ok. I've used the trial version which allows you to render full resolution clips but limited to 20 seconds

If I'm a serious buyer I'll create an account at storyblocks, I'll have their 400,000 photos for 149$, and I can license any picture in their marketplace at 3.99$.
But FiveDollarPhotos isn't targetting that market, it's targetting people who just need one or a few images at a time.

I know, but this is another competitor that the owner of fivedollaphotos should be aware of. The big buyers will go to the big agencies (shutter, adobe..), buyers with lower budgets will go to storyblocks (maybe envato?), the other buyers who buy few pictures per year from fivedollarphotos will barely be enough for their Operational costs

Can I ask what you mean by 'Motion Graphics Templates'? Premiere Pro templates are Premiere Pro templates, and you've had After Effects templates for a while... so I'm just wondering if it's just 'Premiere Pro Motion Graphics Templates' or whether it is actually 'Premiere Pro and Motion Graphics Templates'. Thanks!
looks like something related to templates created using the new "essential graphics" in AE and that can be used by "essential graphics" panel inside Pr:

I dont sell any video now since I place the video on shutterstock only. I Take video on my photo shooting. Do you think I have to continue to take video shoot ?

Thank you

Absolutely yes, good clips

We absolutely need to be able to select a thumbnail for Adobe to be considered a real player in the video space.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: 50$ minimum commission per clip?
« on: May 27, 2017, 06:46 »
I've been reading of nets of less than $5 for Getty Premium Access video.

Does that minimum only apply to drone cityscapes with full commercial releases (as they say 'creative'. But then they have the bizarre category of 'creative unreleased'). Are they going to protect these specific files from premium access? Or are they somehow disingenuously declaring that 'Getty Premium Access' isn't a Getty sale?

Who knows?

I've got some sales with less than 2$ for my completely unique drone clips, my prices were 500-700$ at Pond5 for those clips!! I quit Getty directly after couple of sales like that, really disgusting.

Do they sell at $500 to $700? If you're getting one sale a month, per clip, then happy days! If it's one a year, then not so much. Not questioning your pricing, just curious!

The majority of my files at Pond5 are priced at 70-78$, about 20% are priced between 200-700$ and I sell at least 3 clips every month of those (+ many sales of the regular clips). I've tried Getty for 3 months and it was a big loss of time where 95% of sales were from premium customers and for pennies, even other RM sales didn't made big difference

I really like Mircostockr Pro. One request though: Could you allow multiple accounts per agency? This is important for iStock/Getty now that my iStock account and my Getty account use different logins on the same system.

This is important for me to, I have 2 accounts at Pond5
