I think its a good idea personally, trouble is i think everyone has a different idea. However looking on the brighter side, whatever the outcome it may not be perfect but would be a darn sight fairer than the majority of the current big agencies out there. I think all it would need is for a few people to take the reigns and come up with a proposal and then maybe setup a donation fund to get it running. Like this for example in terms of people donating money for something that they want http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-consoleThe downside would obviously be many people with many different ideas but if someone were to come up with a proposal of how it might work you could simply agree then donate and become a part of it or not agree and stay out of it. The upside would be portfolio, just think of how many talented top players visit here, this has got to be the single most biggest thing that agencies want and we could have it immediately - portfolio. This would send shivers down any agency's spine

Around 30c for a photo really is low and it saddens me to hear you are receiving that for your hard work and talent. I know this is microstock but not freestock, no photographer deserves such a low amount of commission. It's agencies such as this one and FT which are killing the industry and we as a contributor only have one strong response which we can make.

Sigh, another day, another refund which especially hurts during the summer slowdown

I agree, $11 is not encouraging at all for the sale of a 1080 video. I can't remember any stock photo/footage site starting out with giving such low commissions.
I myself will not bother as I am testing out the middle tier market with 123rf which launched video before you and pays better.
IMO you need to try harder in order to attract talented videographers with much better commissions, and that is just a start.

Oh crap, I'm glad i checked this thread as the radio buttons are indeed defaulting to yes and by mistake i had one file selling as exclusive.
Not sure if defaulting to 'yes' was intentional or by mistake on fotolia's behalf.

I'm getting the following message since yesterday:
Upload Stopped
Sorry to inform that uploads will be temporarily stopped to facilitate a scheduled maintenance of our storage system.

Ive had a few so far since the addition of video but they are very sporadic like you would expect from a middle tier site launching a new channel. I was actually hoping for more judging by the PR launch statements but i guess its still early days to tell. Just hope 123rf go all guns firing on the video marketing and promotion side. Has this happened yet? Will this happen?

I give any new site a 6-7 month chance to sell at least a few vids, but 3 years? IMO you should have pulled your port from there a long time ago.

I gotta say that i feel sorry for the logo folk, i remember sjlocke reminding everyone in the logo forum to put their efforts out there on other sites and make it work for you instead of waiting for istock to get their act together, just hope most of them listened. Patience is a virtue they say, but maybe this doesn't apply to the microstock industry.

Did you originally use different passwords for each site?
143
« on: March 16, 2012, 09:22 »
Yeah, i already opted out a while ago in disgust at the prices but opted back in again because when opted in your port gets shifted to the front of the search engine, i have to grit my teeth and live with it unfortunately.

Fotolia is crap, i do get a fairly regular amount of sales but at the end of the month it always amounts to peanuts because of their subscriptions, low commisions and their customers who always purchase low web or medium size, at least in my experience.

Congrats, maybe i was wrong then. I am primarily a non-exclusive videographer and unfortunately the good old days have truly passed for us it would appear. My sales used to be really strong but since the begining of 2011 there was a constant downward trend month after month. I hit rock bottom Dec 2011/Jan 2012 but then it picked up slightly in Feb which looked like a good sign, but March looks like its going to bomb.

This could be interesting, i think March could turn out badly which would mean a sharp decline from February's increase. If that is the case then i can see a lot complaints heading istock's way.

Yet another shift occurred i believe yesterday awhich really mixed up my portfolio in a bad way and havent had a single sale since.

Im pretty new to 123rf and cant figure out where my earnings are, do i have to click on earnings at the bottom for the full report or should it appear as credits on the top bar.
I also cant find stats ie. views nor can i figure out how to manage my videos eg. delete them.

Nice, post here when you get your 1st sale!

Well, regardless of all the constant medling that goes on, the search engine appears to be a naturally evolving beast anyway. It still moves you around based upon how good your content is ie. file age, ranking, downloads, location based searches etc. And used to work like this for many years before these crazy best match shifts became all the rage.
