iShitty is the pure winner in failing.

maybe SS follows the steps of ishitty... putting images at risk being stolen and then sue anybody found using them. SS gets the (money) prize for winning the lawsuit. Contributors get none. Double win for SS.

we wrote to SS and this is what they replied:

Over the past few years, video has become an increasingly powerful tool for online advertising. To meet this growing demand, we are offering footage clips to select online platforms for limited use at special rates.

While at times you may see that your earnings-per-clip is lower, these clips are for web or mobile application only. They can only be streamed; downloading and broadcast usage isn't permitted. This restriction has been designed to protect your earnings and give you an extra chance to make money.

We got a single sale a few days ago with $1.50 for a clip.

205
Is there any technical reasons for such demand? Currently, we didn't get any rejections using old model releases for video.

General Stock Discussion / Re: iStock is "stealing" my videos
« on: April 19, 2018, 10:09 »
stopped uploading to istock 2 years ago. Last month we even had a refund of $90, which sale never happened. The funny place is this crappy agency.

207
Revert the version of Adobe. We had to go back to 2017 version because many functions were a mess in newest versions and it completely broke our editing workflow when adding files from Premiere to AE. Paying for half-assed software. What a great industry.

I disagree with deleting 2years old files... in our case, a lot of first sales of videos come from old files 2+ years. Which is funny.

« on: March 30, 2018, 01:11 »
Now you can't even edit images/videos anymore. How are we able to change thumbnails now?

EDIT: Forget about it... found the way. It works through Catalog manager.

210
We uploaded about 20% footage but had 0% increase in income. Completely identical income results (maybe +- 100$).

Aliens.

This just explains how disgusting VB marketing strategy is and puts to shame all people defending their "awesome" commissions. Well, here are your commissions now. There won't be any sooner or later.

« on: March 21, 2018, 04:45 »
this was the worst month.... it is funny because the commissions are always very low, then we get a -$90 refund for a single clip. What the fuck? Was it even sold anytime at that price?! It looks very * suspicious.

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock - Where are we going?
« on: March 07, 2018, 14:19 »
when we tried uploading some stock photos, we uploaded some from our 5-year-old smartphone (lgg2) and photos were accepted with no problem. It was funny they were even accepted.

General - Stock Video / Re: The end of QuickTime PhotoJPEG??
« on: February 28, 2018, 05:59 »
Solution: Don't update premiere.

We already had to downgrade Adobe to 2017 version because the newest version is so half-assed done that it destroyed our workflow.

216
Life outside the Earth doesn't exist, there is no such thing as mass people surveillance and people aren't responsible for global warming.

There is no proof for any of these. But if you aren't a stubborn moron, you can't deny it. #Justsayin

217
Anyone else noticing complete shutdown of sales for the past week? This would be the worst month ever since we contribute if this blackout continues.  :o

218
Pond5 supposedly shut down the program in September, but we still get some signups via referral links... we didn't get any official answer about the topic.

Noticing the same too... it vanished and appeared back. Another glitch from SS.

220
VB is just a scam. They are just abusing contributors clips to push their own.

we had a good sale, but now it is gone too (about $50)...  :( first time we had a refund

222
We had 10% drop in sales compared to 2016 and we weren't in the Membership program. And we were also invited this year. Hope to gain back what we lost.

VideoBlocks / Re: SB tries the 'ole "partner sales" game
« on: January 24, 2018, 06:35 »
60% from $33 we usually got from HD sales would now be... $19,8 ?? Soon it will be in the iShit domain of $4 :D Supporting Videoblocks/Storyblocks is like spitting in own grave.

224
In the past we too tried uploading stock files to many agencies... but we started to delete everywhere where we rarely get sales. It's waste of time uploading if it's not profitable.
