Post by: Ranker on November 22, 2014, 07:20

Footage queued for a week, used to be hours. Did the queues get longer?

I think it has gotten longer. I also have 20 or so vids awaiting inspection since Monday.

I'm about to start submitting to Shutterstock...how long on average does it usually take after review for a clip to get sales? Does review time really vary that much (hours to weeks)?

Just Like stills, If it's good and very useful, Not long. If not?...A long time. There is no answer. Video are large files and takes longer to get indexed by the servers. yes, reviews are Longer. Vast amounts of footage is coming in.

That really depends on just what Rinder said.  I have had some sell within a week and others haven't sold since I started uploading there six months ago. It is just like photos except with fewer unit sales and fewer buyers.
