what I have analyse from last 3-4 weeks:
#1: They have Reduce the Company Size, Fired 100 Employees due to Covid
#2: Off-Shore office (Mostly Reviewer - India) is limited now, because I noted when and what time my stock is being reviewed, Before Lockdown mostly Indian Day Time was reviewed Now EST.
#3: Yes, Some agencies are uploading more than 500/day and mostly having Team of Vectors / Illustration Designers.
Those team can produce 1000+ Vectors/ Illustration in a day.
#4: Freelancer / Stock photographer is hardly achive this limit, For media agencies their per day target is 2000 (Depeneds on Company Size and Quality of Work)
#3 and #4 are really good info. My guess for per day target was 300 videos per day (6 seconds each) to produce with small team. It can be achieved easily. 7000 per day is lot of work. Create, edit, keyword and submit. It requires a big team to produce everyday.
Good insights indeed !!!
300 "high quality" videos per day with a small team? Impressive!!! Care to share more info? Are you speaking about real footage or cg animations? thanks

I'm working in Cinema 4D. Rendering time with Octane render is a bit faster than directly in C4D, but it takes around 10 minutes for one frame in FullHD. 4K takes a lot more time. I have Intel i7-7700, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1070.
Ah ok, maybe your scenes are way more complex than mine.

MotionDesign, as an advice for you never use a laptop for rendering you will burn it soon and with the new laptop models all the components are incorporated in the motherboard... you will throw it to the trash, you can't fix it anymore.
That's what happened to me and the repair costs exceeded the price of a new laptop. ALWAYS use a desktop PC and not a very expensive one, but more 3 or 4 and use them as team render machines, you will see a big difference in rendering times.
Good luck
Hi PinHead, I use a Dell mobile workstation, they are built for heavy works, and i've been using them for about 15 years. You are right, with the same amount of money i could buy a monster desktop pc, but i love the freedom of working where i want, and i don't have room in my apartment for a desktop PC. But thanks for the advice

Videohive is a joke. $11 (or less) for a 3D render? Yeah right, one week of rendering and you can earn pennies? No way, I'll stay with Adobe.
with Blender Eeevee or Element3D, render time is always under one hour, if we talk about 3d abstract or conceptual renders. With Cycles (if you nees realism), about a couple of hours or a bit more. 15/30 seconds 4K, on a 16 cores i9 cpu, rtx 4000 quadro laptop. I think that a week is a bit too much! What engine are you using? and what are your pc specs?

Apologies not contributing there,
but in other threads I read for sub sales and peanuts.
Why bother submitting to SS?
Because 5 figures earnings/year, for me, is not 'peanuts'

I'm creating content relative to 'coronavirus' and selling it. Recently, somebody said me on this forum, "complex motion graphics is not rocket science"... well, maybe he was wrong
Hmm... not quite sure your reasoning works! While I agree that complex motion graphics are far from easy, by your logic.... if somebody makes something and then sells it... then it is rocket science? Flipping burgers, printing t-shirts, selling hotdogs, baking cookies to sell.... because these people have created content and sold them, all claims that 'it's not rocket science' are false?
sorry, english is not my native language, so, maybe i explained it wrong. Motion graphics sell well but I don't see lot of competition as there is in photography and videography. If it would so easy, there would be a lot more people doing it, i think.

I sell about 1/2 videos a year, so not a big problem.

If you have a Mac, try Motion 5... it's about $50 and very good alternative to After Effects.
I'm on pc, but thanks anyway

I only submit videos footage and my first thought is thats a really high number, especially compared to the bonus programs of the past couple years.
I have a portfolio of 9000+ videos and Ive always though that I have a wide variety of high quality videos, but Ive never had 625 sales in a year.
It also doesnt help that my sales have been going down pretty significantly since last October.
I upload 90% videos and 10% images, but i'm in the same boat...after a bit of math i think that i'll have about 4500 points at the end of the year. At this point i think that i'll invest more time on affinity suite for vector and raster (or other alternatives) and i'll go with the bonus for After Effects. 'Thanks' to lockdown i have time to learn Bmd Fusion...my plan-B I know that 60/month are nothing if you are in the business, but MS is a different beast...earnings are like a rollercoaster, so i think that it's a wise choice to invest time on alternatives. Said that, thanks Mat and thanks to Adobe for the offer!

Cameras? Photos are a dead horse (unless you are a very talented guy),
but...what about illustrators or motion designers? CG is everywhere,
but it's not so easy, you need to learn very complex softwares, years of practise, and a bit of talent.
Technology is evolving, microstock is evolving, face it.
Time is the most expensive item. Still images and videos are not interchangeable.
There used to be a lot of Facebook ads with videos but there are less of them now. Because people don't have time to spend watching them. And then those short title animations, how many of them are needed? One, one per story.
You also can't have all of them animated at the same time on the web page. Because they will look super annoying and distracting. It's the reason YouTube uses still thumbnails instead of animated ones.
Of course, videos have a place in the media but still images are the main things. More demand in still images and also more supply, less demand in videos and also less supply, and a bit higher price for video because of higher cost, simple as that.
Bragging about this is very childish.
i'm childish? mhhh...ok

Paper magazines sell less and less. Online magazines are the future.
But maybe im wrong.
dreamser...you are just considering that nothing change....video already see many subscription model with cheap price 1,5 dollar per sale, near photo but sale for video are not comparable, probably one video eery 1000 photo if not more....the same as motion graphic illustration, probably considering the crisis there will be even more competition...everybod living photo for video and motion graphic, the same pressure on price, high offer low demand....it-s a fact...in addiction while more complex motion design is not nuclear science...in easter europe there are zillions people doing this. so don-t believe a lot on your idea.
ok, you're right
no is u right...i bet what you want in year you earn half of what you do now...but you are the kind of people who want deny th reality
As i said...you are right, nothing else to add. I leave you to your beliefs. Good luck

There will always be Microstock. Maybe artists will make nothing, and some companies will close, but there will always be Microstock as long as there are people with cameras.

My stocks are doing normal, if not a little better.
Me too. If this is the trend, march will be my MBE, but it's too early to predict that. I live in Italy...North Italy, you know, ground zero...but i'm optimistic, so please don't panic and act like wise people.
