Beautiful clips! It's a no brainer that you're making good sales from these! I've uploaded around 100 clips so far from South Florida where I live and can't wait to get back to my family's home up in Vermont this summer and fall to take some beautiful footage... no sales yet. :( Shooting in 4K with Mavic Air 2 also. Uploading to Shutterstock, Pond5 and Adobe.
took me like 350 uploads and 2 months to get my first sale! So far i have 2500 clips online and i've made 2500$ in a year and a half, i avergae around $200-$350

Thank you for sharing this with us! Really cool to see what clips are selling and really helpful for those starting out. Strictly out of curiosity, what codec and format do you upload your stock in? Many of the cameras used in your stock footage above would record to mp4 h.264 internally so are you delivering in this format or transcoding to something like ProRes? Again, thank you for sharing! :)
hi...tx for the video i'm new and keen to get started please guide me... 1. i noticed one of your videos was shot with an iphone...and iphone save in .mov right? how did u upload to blackbox? do they accept .mov? or did you convert it to another format before uploading? 2. i can shoot in 4k 24/30/60 fps. what should i choose? do the same shot per fps? or just shoot 60 fps and allow the users software to adjust my clip? tx
Check the upload guidelines for file format and extensions. I do edit all of my clips in Adobe Premiere. As far as frame rate, I would only shoot 24 unless you have a very specific reason. Otherwise shoot 30 or 60.
You would either be looking at 24/25/30. Since I repurpose footage from other shoots, I typically just use whatever frame rate those projects were in. If you were specifically shooting for stock I’d shoot 30.
@@drewbdarby lol sorry I meant to phrase it as what frame rates do you recommend to record in? I noticed most were 30. Would you say thats "safer" to record than 60 since 30 might be more widely used
If there’s enough light to properly expose 60, I would definitely shoot 60 and slow down to 30. That gives potential buyers more options that just shooting 30.
I mean no disrespect... Ok? But I think this is hobby for the rich or some kind of extra income for people who live in low income countries. 10 cents per image is not real money.
2022 was my BEST year yet selling stock! I broke down all the sales here: th-cam.com/video/y6fiTKFla5c/w-d-xo.html
found this video on elgato stock footage while searching for "most underrated TH-camr"

I follow the Blackbox guidelines for uploading H.264 footage. You should follow the guidelines for whatever platform you choose to sell through.
@@drewbdarby Thank you for replying to me. I thought that might be the case but always good to get some extra insight so thank you :)

hi thanks for video, is it important which frame rate we shooting for sells, my footages generally 25f/s ?

@@drewbdarby thanks

Frame rates are all listed on the individual clips

What is dissolve?

Good stuff. Keep shooting and uploading. I'm making between $250-300/mo/ with 1600-ish clips. I think you could do the same ratio.
Cheers Scott! Planning on adding to my library monthly this year.
