Hello ma'am your vedios are really informative... Thanks for the tips I had just started stock photography at present 7photos were approved..... Ma'am which is the best vedio editing app for PC

I normally dont comment cause I'm also a creator and busy with my own videos and business. But gotta say, I love your videos! So much value and you are such a chill-cool person.

I’ve had a contributor account for a few months. But I just recently started uploading photos. Mainly because I stumbled upon your videos and you inspired me. And I am going to try black box to upload my videos. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have a question about editorial videos, do you leave the sound in the video, or detach it and upload with out sound? My current videos that I uploaded are without sound, as per the request of the agency (waterfalls and flowing rivers mainly), thanks for all the tips and videos, its changing my perspective on stock photography.

@NicoleGlass

Great question. Shutterstock usually prefers when the sound is removed, but in the case of editorial clips, they also recommend leaving the sound when the sound is necessary to tell the story of what is happening. In all of the video clips of protests, I left the sound in there because it was necessary to document what was happening. They were chanting something and the sound was simply part of it. But for cityscapes or landscapes, I remove the sound.

Now, as of 2019, I have a GoPro Hero 6 that shoots 4K as well as time-lapse and slow-motion, so I'm more aggressively creating video clips.

Thank you for the perspective on 1080 vs 4K. I am going to get into video, trying to decide on a camera. Have DLSR's that will do 1080p but I think I need to get 4K.

A thought for a video, show yourself walking around and deciding on what to shoot. Planned or spur of the moment captures. Describe some of the thoughts you have. I know I would find it interesting.

@jbradfordphoto

5 жыл бұрын

What DSLR are you currently shooting with and how invested are you in the lenses? I think if we know that it'd be pretty easy to give you a few reasonable suggestions that would be financially wise. Typically, M43 and APS-C will be more value for money in a lot of ways, but there are some exceptions. Also, super shallow depth of field isn't as important for video. However, if you find yourself shooting a lot of night time content, something like a 5DmkIV or Sony A7SII/A7III might be a good idea. If you're doing a lot of moving, Canon, new Fuji cameras, and Sony's 3rd generation A7 cameras seem to be best with auto focus. Anyway, there's a lot to unpack there! Check out Potato Jet here on KZread. He has great video-centric content.

@jbradfordphoto

Also, depending on how much you've been getting into video work already, it may be best just to dig in with what you have and learn the ropes. You can do a lot with 1080, especially if your camera can shoot in varied framerates like 24p and 60p for slow motion shots. Editing can also make a world of difference as you learn and improve with your software, at least it has for me.

I could never upload a photo or video showing a person's face without them accepting it. In my opinion it would be both immoral but probably more importantly, they might be under protected identity or otherwise not wanting to be floating around in the world without them knowing it.

Hey Emma, you can use your judgement based on the situation. In the US, street photography is legal. In Europe, the laws are stricter and you cannot share photos of people without their consent. The way I see it is this: if someone is out holding up signs at a protest or performing in a street festival, they usually want the publicity. If you're secretly taking a picture of a teenage girl sitting on a park bench, I would not upload that. Use your discretion.

Very informative video Nicole. FYI, I have over 7,000 clips on Shutterstock, Pond5, Adobe, VideoBlocks and Shutterstock is a thorn in my side. I regularly get sales from them for $1.70! Half of all my sales in December were at 1.70. Hard to make money that way and even harder to keep the attitude up to shoot more stock. I am strongly considering joining the Pond5 Exclusive. Any thoughts?

@NicoleGlass

Oh my god... you seriously get $1.70 for video sales? That's unbelievable. I didn't know that was possible honestly. So would you say that Pond5 is the platform that pays most fairly? Like I said, I've never seen any of my videos on SS sell for under $15... but I'd be pretty upset if high quality vids were being downloaded for $1.70. If Pond5 is where you see the majority of your earnings, then definitely consider becoming exclusive. But only you would know if that's worth it, based on how your sales on the other platforms are. By the way, are you making a full time living from this?

@RobertPeakDesign

5 жыл бұрын

Hi @@NicoleGlass, I'm not making a full time living...yet. It is hard to say what my sales are with Pond5. Two years ago I joined BlackBox which takes my clips and puts them on the 4 agencies. Two weeks ago I became really frustrated with all the 1.70 sales and decided to start uploading to Pond5 myself. I'm at about 400 clips so far, no sales directly from them, yet. With their new exclusive arrangement, I'm not really sure what I am going to do. Based on what John Neff at the Crafted Shutter reported for his December sales, I'm thinking that P5 may be a good way to go. Putting the stock on all the agencies does seem like a race to the bottom, which I really don't want to happen or be a part of. Most of my 1.70 clips are all in a single collection that I have on all 4 agencies, but I do know that those sales are coming through ShutterStock. Long story short, I'm not sure what I am going to do yet. I am still uploading to Pond5 til I figure out which way to go. One of the main reasons that I went to Pond5 directly, instead of going through BlackBox is that because of all of the junk that flows through BlackBox, I felt the agencies were skipping over really good content of mine. I ended up doing a little test and recutting some stuff that Pond5 skipped over that I had posted through BlackBox. After cutting some new clips and posting directly to Pond5, not only were they online within 24 hours, but they accepted ALL the clips. Even ShutterStock and Adobe are taking forever to get BlackBox stock online. Clips that I did a year and a half ago are just now going live on SS and Adobe.

On Pond5 yes, on Shutterstock no

Mine aren't performing great, but they're mostly beauty shots of the monuments / city. Seems like I really need to play to get some editorial content going.

Hey Matthew. Yes definitely try something new. I have a hard time selling my tourism photos.

Drone shots and protest shots are your top sellers...hmmm, i don't have access to either at the moment. I'll have to see what else i can shoot.

@NicoleGlass

I'm sure there's plenty to shoot... start experimenting and when you see something take off, create more of that type of content.

Thanks for another great video share Nicole! I haven't uploaded any videos, but I will and very soon. Be well and stay encouraged!

For commercial videos, I upload them without sound. For editorial images of news events (such as protests), I keep the sound.

Question. Do you ever include sound with your video. Or is it always strictly visual?

You say that ticketed events needs credential release, and your video got accepted, however I have different experience, I submitted a photo from a concert which was outside, public event, and got rejected for this reason. I submitted as an editorial but no luck.

@NicoleGlass

5 жыл бұрын

I think sometimes a reviewer might see the video and to them, it looks like a ticketed event even though it wasn't. Try uploading it with a caption that says something like "a free outdoor concert open to the public". Usually when I include "free" and "public" in my caption, the reviewer gets the memo.
