This is great and I'll refer back to it later I just wish you'd put chapter breaks in the time line. It would be very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Charlie, I've only just had my first 4 videos accepted by Shutterstock, after many failed attempts. Great video!!!!

no secret, you say everything about photography honesty, thanks. i think, I can be successful watching you'r videos.i bought Sony a7rv camera with Sony 35mm 1.4 lens yesterday.this my first camera setup, therefore I have to learn about this camera.use automatic mode images for Shutterstock, is it good?

Thank you for the video. Could you please tell how to upload vertical video properly? Just on their side? I don’t like how they look in the portfolio that way and I think that for clients it’s hard to understand what’s on that video. But I tried to turn them over and it looked great in the portfolio but the quality was so much worse. Maybe there is a way to make it work that I don’t know, thank you

Well done Charlie, I agree, I love video footage a lot

[desireesilva]

Thanks again for such great content! Very helpfull!
Question about organizing your footage AFTER editing: do you load them all to Lightroom then, in order to organize your video files together with your photos, and then upload them to Im Stocker, like you do your photography work?
OR, do you just save the edited video files directly to the folders that you're going to upload to Im Stocker?
Thanks so much!

Question, can I upload Open Gate footage to any of the agencies and if so I guess they would sell for more because of the possibilities they present? Thanks always for a very informative video once more !! ❤

Thanks a lot. Rec709-A or Rec 709 Gamma 2.4? Which one to choose as output?

Thanks so much for the video! I have a quick question about frame rates because I’m a bit confused. I’m shooting in 60fps on my camera—should I bring that into a 24fps timeline, slow it down to match, and export it at 24fps? Or should I put it on a 60fps timeline, slow it down by 60% to get the 24fps and then export at 60fps?


Not sure if I’m thinking about this the right way, so I’d really appreciate your help!

Hey bro … l need your honest opinion, am so frustrated right now about the camera to buy, the thing is l am totally a beginner in photography, wanted to buy canon m50 mark ii for my my journey, do you think it’s worthy for stock photography. Thank you

I also film at 24 fps, took me a long time to figure out why. Cheers from California. $1, 000 gifted
