Only shutterstock and pond5. Dissolve accept editorial footage too but they are in low tier.

Alamy don't accept footage of any kind. Though apparently, they used to.

Is Bigstock accepting new video submissions? I think not, but I would like to know If I am wrong. I always thought they direct you to Shutterstock for video uploads.

yes, istck only takes editorial photos, not videos.

for footage shutterstock sells really well for me, after that pond5, sometimes deposit.

Haven't really uploaded footage o the others, so I really cannot say.

But SS/pond5 give me regular editorial income.

Bigstock: "Currently we are not accepting video/footage submissions. However, if you have video or a music clip you would like to submit to be licensed as stock, we would recommend checking out our parent company, Shutterstock. They are always accepting new submission applications for Shutterstock.com."

Alamy Oct 2017: "We’re receiving and selling more images than ever before and because of this we’ve decided to solely focus on stills for now and we’re not currently accepting any new footage applications."

iStock/Getty apparently not since the change to ESP in 2018.
