InactiveOkay, so I recently came back from a trip in Italy with about 50 minutes of random stock footage of various locations. The question I have is now where and how to proceed with this newly acquired footage.
Thanks in advance.

ParticipantWell what format is it shot in? Hopefully 1080p HD from a higher end camera. That will give you the best chance making money from it.

Inactiverobgrauert, yes it is filmed in 1080p HD at 30 fps. I used my camera’s highest quality setting, at 24 mbps. It ranges from things like shots at the Vatican, Colleseum, on the road, and on the plane ride. Unfortunately, I had no tripod with me at most locations, so the footage wobbles a tad bit, but nothing that is extremely noticeable.
Aspyrider, I took a look at the site, but I could not figure out how to use it to actually sell my media. Could you perhaps give some more advice on using the site.

ParticipantPerhaps for now you’d be more comfortable distributing the footage through places like istockphoto.com, fotolia.com, pond5.com.
These places will give you large exposure and access toinclude a nice portfolio.
The main disadvantgae(if you can call it that) is that commissions run anywhere from 20%-40% depending on the media(stil,DV,HD) and quality(size). If you have an exclusive agreement with them(only you or they can sell your work) you can get 60%-75% commission….(that’s more like it.)
I stock photo may require a little more to get started, but they are already up and running and can serve as a platform to distribute your work and also gain exposure:

Fotolia isgetting ready to distribute video and is currently accepting footage:

Pond5 seems cool too:

InactiveI suppose my response and thanks may be a bit belated, however, videochick, I did indeed see the tips and tricks segment, and it did indeed help me find a market. Thanks again to the advice though.

InactiveGiven the large size of stock footage, upload times and portfolio management can be quite heavy. iSyndicahelps by letting ursers upload their content once and from there you can distribute it to other sites like Pond5, fotolia or Revostock. We’re still building the platform but there’s great value in having videos stored online and distributed in seconds once they are uploaded.
