Is there a size limit? Some sites allow up to 500mb but some of mine are bigger than that. One site only allows clips under 15 seconds.

There is a 1GB size limit, but that's it. They can be any length, we just ask that you only upload .mov files for now.

thanks for the news... I am excited to see how the video market develops in the next year or so.

Is the a link to the video requirements, such as the codec that are accepted? TY

dnavarrojr · « **Reply #5 on:** May 05, 2009, 14:26 »

I can't find any information on requirements or even how to upload footage. I tried to upload via FTP but the file type was denied.

Duncan_CSP · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2009, 17:30 »

We haven’t finalized our list of approved codecs and file formats because we want to be accommodating to our contributors, and at the same time, to maintain a high-quality offering for our customers. Currently we are accepting .mov format, but we will be happy to consider any codec or file format that you have – if your file won’t upload, please open a support ticket and we will look into it.

dnavarrojr - Sorry, we have corrected a glitch on your account that it wouldn't allow footage uploads.

Thanks, I got a few files to upload and am dipping my toe into the waters.

Will the clips only be visible on Fotosearch or also on Can Stock?

Duncan_CSP · « **Reply #8 on:** May 05, 2009, 22:43 »

They're visible on both CanStock and Fotosearch. Just like JPG or vector images.

Cheers,

Duncan

Do you plan to update the web site to make it easier to find footage? Give video their own section and categories on the site? More importantly, offering the ability to search only video (I hate that Fotolia's search is broken and you can't separate video from images).

Duncan_CSP · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2009, 11:19 »

Yes we will for sure have dedicated video searches, once a few more files come online to support the need. You should see this shortly.

dnavarrojr · « **Reply #11 on:** May 06, 2009, 13:55 »

Good news.

Also, I successfully uploaded a clip using the Quicktime PNG codec. Many thanks for supporting it. Makes it easier to provide pre-keyed footage.

Duncan_CSP · « **Reply #12 on:** May 11, 2009, 15:15 »

dnavarrojr,

We're happy to accept that format. And for anyone else who is interested, we accept the following formats:

HDV, MPEG4, MPEG 2, DVCPRO HD, Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG, Apple JPEG-B, Quicktime Animation, PNG, DV, H.264

If you submit a file with a different type of codec, we will do our best to support it. Just let us know.

Duncan

you can put keywords in the png codec?

Do any other sites accept this format?

Duncan_CSP · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2009, 17:06 »

Leaf - I think by “Key”, he refers to an alpha-channel or mask embedded in the file that allows the background to be removed by the end-user.

I wish there was a way to embed/read keywords in video files!

Duncan

There is a recent movement to establish a standard for video metadata; it may be short of embedding keywords in the file, but may make things easier if there is a standard.
