Exciting news from Envato for Stock Footage and Motion Graphics submissions....
SpaceStockFootage:
Here's an announcement made today by Envato. Something I've wanted for years....
I知 pleased to announce that over the next few weeks we will be rolling out a new upload tool for our VideoHive footage and motion graphics authors. We hope this new upload page makes it much easier to upload and submit your clips to VideoHive. We値l be launching the page to more and more authors over the coming weeks, so if you see the following message next time you visit the VideoHive upload page, you値l know that you have been granted access to this great new tool.
Here痴 a list of some of the exciting new features that should make it easier for footage and motion graphics authors to upload their new items
Previews & Thumbnails Auto-generated
No more need to upload separate thumbnails and preview videos! The new upload process will generate these files from your uploaded video. You no longer need to create a ZIP file for your item - simply upload your clip as an MOV or MP4 file and we値l take care of the rest! We値l auto-detect some of the technical metadata such as duration & resolution and will also generate a watermarked preview video.
Upload from Dropbox
As well as uploading files from your browser using new drag and drop upload, you can upload your items directly from your Dropbox account. And of course you can still upload using FTP!
Prepare and Submit Multiple Items
You no longer need to submit files one by one. You can upload as many files as you like, prepare the tags and descriptions for all of your files and then send your files to the review process with a single submission.

Now they could get swamped with clips any nobody will make much money because of the very low prices. I would of thought this would be bad news for anyone that already has their portfolio there? Bad news for the rest of us that sell at higher prices as well, I don't really want video to sell for such tiny amounts because uploading 4k is very time consuming.
If they somehow buck the trend and maintain sales volume while being swamped by new clips, I might have no choice but to submit to them at some point but I hope that doesn't happen.
SpaceStockFootage:
Don't forget they'll be bringing in self pricing soon, so you can price your clips at whatever you want. And at only around 250,000 clips currently, even if they get ten times that submitted overnight, they've still only got half as much as P5. I guess time will tell whether all this is good for existing providers/potential new providers etc.
sharpshot:
Self pricing would be good, now they just need to match the P5 50% and declare themselves an agency and I will start uploading :)
SpaceStockFootage:
And editorial would be nice!
