This is my 5th year doing stock foto and video. Every year my income average is growing. I'm uploading files regularly.
2013-55%
2014-45%
2015-27%

Mine chart is very variable. Maybe it is because most of my earnings are from video sales.

March was my best month ever, April was little higher than average and i have good start on May.
Shutterstock BME on March after 5 bad months (October - February).
Pond5 is maybe most stable with same average starting from 2014.
Fotolia sales growing slowly this year.
Videoblocks is stable too for me and almost equal as Pond5 in month average.

I got payment this morning.
P5 explanation:
"We're very sorry you had to reach out again. It seems a security key issue with Paypal is what's causing the problem with our attempts to pay you. We've gone ahead contacted them, and attempted to transfer again today. It appears successful now."

kbdesigns where are you from?
I received three payments yesterday, but only Pond5 failed to me. My father got rejected payments from VB and Pond5 .

I think VB dropped payment settings after rejected payments.
Paypal answer to VB:
"This is Rick with PayPal. Kaylyn from your company just called in to find out why several payments that were part of a mass payment sent from your account yesterday failed.
She asked that I send an email with an explanation. What we are seeing on the failed payments is that they are being denied by the recipients account due to some setting on their account.
To resolve the issue, the recipients would need to contact their local contact phone number for PayPal to see what is blocking the payment from coming into their account.
If they notify you that they were able to resolve the issue, you can resend the payment.
Sincerely,
Rick

I received my payment from VB yesterday but my father didn't.
We both didn't receive payments from Pond5.
Pond5 recors in financials:
5403357 March 15, 2016 Payday Paypal undefined $-***.50
5408489 March 15, 2016 Undo Payday undefined $***.50
Maybe it is problem with Paypal. Still waiting for answer from PP.

Hello,
i bought Canon camcorder for microstock footage and i'm little lost between frame rates, video formats
which is best for microstock. I can't find any concreteness in any forum.
1. What video format to choose AVCHD or MP4?
AVCHD record video in 28 Mbps (50p progressive) or 24 Mbps (50i or PF25, both interlaced). MP4 record video in 35 Mbps (50p) and 24 Mbps (25p).
2. What frame rate is better 50p 25p 50i PF25?
I checked 50i video and PF25 with Media info both are interlaced. So if i want to record 25p video i need to use MP4 format?
3. Maybe i can record 50p or 50i video and then in Premiere or Vegas i can compress ir to 25p. Then my
original archive files will be better quality(50p).
4. progressive or interlaced is better for stock footage? If i am right interlaced is better for panorama
scenes?
Please share your knowledge and help with these questions. I think many people would be thankful for it.
