Wondering why not all of my You Tube videos show up when I try to upload a file. Only ten files show up, I have about 5 more I would like to upload. I tried Vimeo but that doesn't seem to work
Thanks for posting this information. Very interesting.Allow me to clarify.
Yes you are setting up as sellers.
No need to do that, and in fact I cannot. Once the videos are rejected, they disappear from our system so I cannot re-post. What I can tell you however is that they were quite poor from a production value standpoint, or didn't display anything noteworthy.Is it possible to show the 29 rejected videos?
Thanks for picking up on that. Seems to be an issue that came up during the site integration. The IT guys are working on this and will fix in the coming days. Are you facing a similar situation with Vimeo or is this just affecting YouTube?Wondering why not all of my You Tube videos show up when I try to upload a file.

This is strange. I just accessed my own YT account and was able to upload just fine without any issues. We also received a number of videos from others who sent from YT.Cool, I can file a bug report too!
Removing AES access to a YouTube Account does not reset the AES account into re-connecting. I connected my YouTube Account, and selecting YouTube to upload left me with a white screen, so I went to Google and removed AES access, assuming this would trigger an attempt to re-pair. It did not, and now I can not upload to AES. Hrrrmmmm...
So, two bugs:
1. After pairing, no videos showing after selecting YouTube as a source.
2. After removing access via the Google Dashboard, no re-pair attempt triggered...
Would love to submit. Thanks for the help.
Good feedback, thanks for the suggestions.Ok, so I can see how this works for submitting, etc. My one concern is that I would like to submit some personal videos I have put together that have opening and closing titles, and one has a still-frame (that was taken with the Phantom). I do not imagine these can be sold exactly, but can they be considered? Or do all contest submissions need to be of sell-able content?
If they all must be of sell-able content, I tip my hat, as this is a brilliant business move to drive new content to your sales platform, it just seems a little sneaking that this is not mentioned outright as part of the terms, and it would also probably be beneficial to those who would like to enter to know that their submitted content must be of the "stock" and "re-sale" variety... Just a thought.
Update: I do see that you generally addressed this in a reply, having it as part of the terms of the contest, also making it clear (as part of the terms of the contest) that the submitted and accepted videos must be able to be sold and as such will be listed for sale, would be transparent as well.
I am sending in my submissions either way, they will likely be rejected as they will not meet "stock" criteria, but as a new entry to the platform, personal videos of friends and family (well done) is what I've got. I can re-cut them if you have suggestions, but as it wasn't really outlined in the stated terms at the time of submission, I am going to proceed until corrected.
Probably why you had a 97% rejection rate in the first day. Might be a flag that you aren't being clear... :-/
Good feedback, thanks for the suggestions.
On the selling of content, anyone who is sending footage must be registered sellers on our site. This is very clear in the rules of the contest. In terms of pricing of the product, we allow sellers to make their products 'Free' of charge. This is an option in the drop down list when people submit their footage. Therefore, this becomes less of a selling exercise, and much more like a showcasing of the work they do.
To be quite honest, our business comes from the sale of stock segments. This is our core business. However, we have sold a number of full video productions to large hotel chains who are looking for footage. Instead of paying in cash, they paid in loyalty points. One example of this is the Intercontinental Mauritius who purchased the rights to this video:
They paid us in IHG points which are sufficient to pay for 4-5 nights in any Intercontinental hotel globally. Not a bad deal for all involved.
- Good for the client as it doesn't cost them any money.
- Good for the pilots as it allows them to travel and see the world, and this does not appear anywhere as income since no official payment is made.
- Good for us as well because everyone is happy and we get our name out there.
This is all really unique and innovative which is why we are making an effort to promote this as much as possible.
No other site out there allows this to happen. We are clearly focused on the commercial aspect, but do it in a very different and innovative fashion.

For the Video Productions category, I have no issue with that. However, for the stock segments, we ask that the preview files be in 720p as a maximum resolution so this makes any commercial usage of the footage nearly impossible. We sell 4K footage only (with the exceptional 1080p content if really amazing) and as a result require that the 720p preview files be without a watermark.Are the uploaders allowed to just watermark their work until it gets purchased? Won't that make it more legit?

For video productions however, watermarking is fine ... but reduces the overall appeal of the footage.

This is a very good point.Again, for clarification, does this mean there are resolution constraints on the contest? My P3A doesn't do 4k. Neither would a P3S, so, does that mean the contest is limited to owners of a P34k or P3P or P4?
OK guys, let's let this one 'fly'. If you want to submit a 1080p video for the contest, I will accept it. That doesn't mean we would approve the video if they don't meet certain standards, but I won't reject them solely on the base of resolution.Same here. I was fliming on my electric unicycle with the phantom 3 advanced. Would be a killer video ESP as it was around London and the London eye

This will be for members of this forum only.
