@Graffoto TODA RABA! Thank you.

Thank you Laurin and runamock,

So GBDeflicker is the main part in reducing flicker for non hdr videos right?  Will the results be good enough for stock?

GBDeflicker is the main part in reducing flicker for HDR and non HDR videos alike (for me). I didn't submit them yet to any stock agency, so I don't know yet. What do you think?

Hi All,

In the last year, I wasn't shooting much microstock stuff, because I got passionate about timelapse shooting.
I welcome you to watch the first fruit of my efforts:


 

Thank you for sharing absolutely beautiful.

Hi,

Here's an update on this clip:

at Shutterstock it was rejected few hours after been uploaded for commercial use. I uploaded it again as editorial, it took them around a week to reject it again.
On the other hand, at Fotolia it was accepted. http://www.fotolia.com/id/21176747
I didn't uploaded it on iStock, because I'm not a video contributor yet.

Thank you all for the help.

I think there isn't always consistency with the agencies (or individual reviewers) about rejections, and this apply here as well.

After conducting a quick search on Getty, I have found this clip: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/89064486/Image-Bank-Film it is a "Creative: Rights-ready (RR)" and in the Release information: it says  "No release, but release may not be required.". Is Grand Central Station, New York City does not need a property release, and what about all those people that may be recognizable.

Here's a beautiful example for tilt-shift time lapse video by Keith Loutit:

Thank you all.

The tilt shift effect (btw it's more just a tilt effect) was created on a video layer in CS4. After converting my raw files to jpegs, I open them as an image sequence in PS and can "play" on this layer for as much as I want. Than I export/render it as a quick time movie (jpeg photo quality).

It is looped few times in this YouTube presentation (hence the poor guy in the queue).

I have found few but still some tilt-shift videos both on istock and shutterstock. They didn't show many DL (on IS that is).

I will try to upload it. Hope to remember to inform you on how it will do.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, that is a useful technique for creating an automatic mask.  It works well for items shot on white.  I should have really done my tutorial on an object that was sitting on a busy background.

With images on a busy background, I usually use the Pen Tool, but for fine details, like hair or the outline of the cookie in your tutorial (almost regardless of the background business), I find it the best to use the channel mask technique.

Had my first sale on my first day on the site. - yesterday. Quite impressive.

BTW they are not accepting images of people, just more graphic style images like food, nature, etc.

Thanks, don't know how I missed it.
