Don't be surprised if you see 0.29 or 0.32 on Adobe Stock,we have a large responsibility for this,it's your fault and mine too,because I still have other active ports,even if I no longer upload to any other agency except Adobe.
the race to the bottom is our responsibility.
every time you or I submit a photo for review on Istock,we agree to only get 15% of the sale,and we also agree that the content can be sold for 0,01
every time we send a video to SS for review we accept that it can be sold for 0.25
Adobe tries to do the best it can,find the right balance,and pay fair compensation to contributors,but there are limits,it must at the same time remain competitive with other large agencies.
think about this, the next time you submit content for review to SS or Istock,think that in that moment,when you press "submit" you are encouraging the race to the bottom!
I agree, that's why I said it can only get worse, and it's time for me to do something else...
I just don't understand how can it be that stock sites don't have any regulation?
These are huge sites that sell a lot, and pay % to contributors, nobody is looking if there are issues in between?
I had issues with few large stock sites over the last year (I won't name them here yet),
For example:
I caught one large site adjusting my earnings, removing half of the sum without any explanation, and when I confront them, they just stop replying...
Another just removing sales, they can do anything, you won't sue them, it's not worth it...
I don't have a problem with Adobe, I can see a lot of effort from them, very professional in all aspects, but sales and earnings are going down fast on Adobe as well...
if your sales on Adobe are going down,and continue to go down for at least 2-3 months,then there are only 2 possible things you can do in my opinion: 1-give up. 2-radically change what you are doing,if you see that what you produce doesn't sell,change,not necessarily what was selling before,can continue to sell today or tomorrow.

For features that are in beta,you can use the outputs generated from Firefly for your commercial projects unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product.
I don't see it stated anywhere that Firefly 3 (beta) outputs cannot be used commercially.
when Firefly 2 was in beta I generated 10,000 content of which I have some for sale on Adobe Stock,since it was not stated otherwise anywhere,from any official source.
so in my opinion there are no problems about it,but I'm not Mat,or an official representative of Adobe.

It takes a lot of time and hardwork to get a balanced income from microstock. Its a highly competitive market.
If contributor do any mistake > Destroy them and take away all the earning.
If employee makes any mistake > Give them a scolding and ask them to resume to work.

Only limited cameras (aside the latest iPhones) record ProRres internally.
I think some from Panasonic and can't remember about other brands.
I record non ProRres, either 8-bit or 10-bit (depending on the camera I use) and then export that via Premiere in ProRes.
I probably failed to explain the following clearly, so let me try again:
No matter your original recording, when exported in ProRes it locks to a fixed bitrate and color depth at 10-bit 4:2:2.
You can't mess with it. It's always the same.
Only the size grows bigger, but again at fixed settings, depending on the framerate.
A 60 fps 4K ProRes is way bigger than a 4K 24 fps ProRes.
This is sometimes a problem if you upload long drone clips. It might go above the usual 4GB limit (limit the agencies impose, not the codec or windows), so you might have to export a shorter clip, less than 60 seconds (if ever you do so!)
The high end customer won't know if your original recording was ProRes or not, 8-bit or 10-bit.
What he cares is that (although the preview is always compressed) what he buys will not deteriorate in quality when he edits it.
Some add the ProRes detail in the description.
Now, even if a video is not ProRres, the editor can always buy it, first save your non-ProRes video in ProRres HQ and then edit it.
It's kind of the same like if he buys a Jpeg photo and firstly saves it as .TIFF to avoid extra quality loss and compression, then edit it (maybe even in 16-bit) and in the end export back as an 8-bit Jpeg.
Therefore, all the fuss about ProRes has to do with the quality and better handling in post-production.

In any case, you are not alone... My sales also dropped dramatically (currently minus 86%) and I also lost pictures.
123rf in the last few months:
I always got AI images through well before - a total of 5,500 accepted, 450 rejected.
Then in January, around 3,500 AI images were rejected in one go - I contacted support and only received a general reply.
I then tried again to find out why everything had suddenly been rejected.
Result: Support simply stopped answering me (no I wasn't rude) and since January there are 1476 AI images and 867 photos in the queue - no more reviews are taking place.
And since my first email to support, there has also been the slump in sales described above.
In summary, 123rf is no longer trustworthy for me at all since the beginning of 2024 and apparently no longer interested in material.
For me, they are now on a par with Canva (100% instant rejections) - WireStock (I'm supposed to pay for uploading?) - YayImages (no more invoices for 6 months) in the list of most untrustworthy agencies
Have a sunny day@all
