I realised this when I was searching mevans' portfolio. I thought that it was his birthday so made on purpose as a kind of jest to his memory. 

can software like adobe premiere edit it away?

Yes.

I use Premiere Elements. I create a transparent still image with patches on the areas I want to clone, put it on video track 2 while the original video is on the video track 1 and merge them.

It is not as easy as clone tool but I don't know any other way to fix it.

Your images are simply not stock-oriented. Nature images tend to be high in supply and low in demand and only the very best (and luckiest) will make worthwhile sales.

Isn't it surprising IS accepted all those images? What a U turn!

I remember the day Skylab came down to the Earth.

The lucky place was Western Australia.

They don't now which one has the real sale potential and usually take the wrong ones and reject the really good ones.

Plus their rejection reasons are meaningless.

Fotolia is a really well known brand in microstock industry but they are shooting themselves in the foot with this inconsistent reviewing policy.

According to my 6 years experience they have low commercial value. I strongly recommend you not to spend much time on that subject. Lets assume SS accepted them, 1-5 lifetime sales for the first image, probably 0 sales for the other two I guess.

I would prefer Pal (it is the TV standard in where I live) and the highest possible frame rate (downscaling is easy but upscaling might be problematic).

Especially for still objects/scenes constant focus is important. To prevent hunting you can use manual focus or focus lock.

I think constant exposure is also important, so for most scenes I use manuel exposure or exposure lock.

Lowest possible iso is better like it is in the photography. But for dark scenes you can make it up, it is more tolerable in video than it is in photo.

Using a tripod is a must for most of the cases.

As far as I know it is using H264, so you have to convert it to pjpeg especially if you want to send IS and DT. For other sites, if you don't need any correction, you can send as it is.

BTW I am using Nikon and Sony, not a pro, started 10 months ago. These are what I learned so far, I just wanted to share.

Thank you again ACS !

I will use Postscript Level 3 in InkScape. I have read that the EPS output of InkScape is EPS8 of AI. When looking around the web for some information, I read people recommending the following before creating the EPS output:
1. Ungrouping all the objects / paths (as apparently ungrouping is a challenge when the EPS file is opened in Illustrator)
2. Converting all objects to paths

In your experience, is it really necessary ? I have created shapes in my vector using objects and grouping them. Ungrouping them may not be to the liking of the designer who may want to make changes to my vector.

I would live them as group, I don't think that would couse a big problem for AI users.

I too recommend to convert all objects to paths.

Thank you. So my 6D shoots 264, if thats compressed already, how does converting to pjpg make it better then?

Good question.

I certainly believe my out of camera original H264 .mov is much more editable (at least one step ahead) than the H264>PJPEG .mov file. As a submitter I make the conversion to upload, okay, but the file becomes an edited file and therefore becomes less resistant to the further possible edits.

Am I missing something?

I bought Adobe Premiere Elements 11. So far I am happy with it. Lots of video tutorials and documents available.

Also my first 5 videos disappeared from the unfinished list yesterday. Today I have found them in the FTP folder.
