4K sales
SpaceStockFootage:
Is there a site that doesn't sell all 4K clips at the same price, apart from Pond5? I guess 123RF, but there's not many... it's not just VB though.
I've only had one 4K sale at VB since I've been there, compared to 94 HD sales.
stockmarketer:
A while back I thought it would be smart to future-proof my work and produce everything in 4K. Posted a lot of work at 4K but I don't think I've seen a single 4K sale. So back to 1080p until I see evidence that 4K is in wide demand. It just takes up too much processing time and storage space.
Video-StockOrg:
We only get some sales of 4K on Pond5. Not that much, but we don't bother about it because it is not yet that popular.

Lol.
I think you are missing the point of future proofing.
"I was going to future proof my transportation options by buying an electric car. I went back to the gas car because there wasn't any infrastructure in place to recharge the electric one whenever I wanted."

I shoot everything in 4k and then downsize for sites that do not auto-convert like SS. I don't get it. I don't know why. But SS requires you to upload separate 4k and 1080 files. For me, it is smart business to upload both formats if you have them. You never know when company A absorbs company B, or when 4k gains enough traction that it begins to replace 1080 as the new standard (that's probably inevitable in the near term vs. long term).
