tbmpvideo: you are, indeed, brave to 1st start this thread and 2nd to defend yourself considering some of the comments.  This forum is harsh and it seems it is much easier to criticize than it is to praise.  I have watched the forum for quite a while and have held back from participating due to some of the members who will rip you to shreds if they do not agree with you.  So from someone who has shot stills stock for a while and who is just investigating video stock, bravo for starting this and there are actually people on your side here.

1st sale a couple of days ago after 7 months submitting.  $0.30 on a sub, woo hoo I think I'll buy a..a..a what can you buy for $0.30?  But a sale is a sale and hopefully a sign of things to come.

Newbie Discussion / New here and a question
« on: November 13, 2009, 15:37 »
I am returning to stock photography after quite a number of years (think kodachrome and velvia).  In those days (that makes me sound old) I was with one agency and things were simple.  Send them the best transparencies and they looked after the rest.  The revenues were good versus the amount of time I put into it.  In the way of introductions I am located in the south eastern portion of British Columbia, Canada and operate an on location digital photography studio specializing in wedding, portrait, commercial, event, sports photography and now adding stock.
I have made initial submissions of various agencies with a fair bit of success in acceptance.  No coin yet but I am sure it will as I increase my portfolio in each location.
My question is uploading to various agencies and which programs is used the most and pros and cons of each?  Right now I am using: Cushy Stock, insyndica (trial), and prostockmaster.  At this point my favorite is Cushy Stock as I can add agencies as I am accepted although I find the program a bit quirky.  I like the look and feel of Prostockmaster although I have not found a way to add agencies to there list, perhaps I haven't played with it enough or it is a limitation of the program.  I just signed up with insyndica on a free membership to try it out and I realize the limitations of the free membership and I am willing to pay for the 'real deal' if I like it enough.
If any of you have used, tried, swear by, the above three if you could list your pros and cons about these three or if there is another that you prefer please let me know.
Thank you and I really enjoy reading the posts here so I felt it was time to dive in.
Cheers, Dave
