Multiple Clip Sizes

crackerclips 7 Jan 2007 16:39

Hi all,

I am wondering if it is in the plans for Pond5 to offer multiple sizes of our work for sale? I remember reading something about that in this forum a couple of months ago or but haven't seen any discussions about it since. I hope this is the case.
Thanks,
Bryan

Yes, automatic downsizing of clips into other formats is in the works, and we're hoping to have it ready soon. It's a little tricky technically, and we don't want to go live with it until we can be sure that the downsized versions are the best quality possible. We're close, though, and will keep you updated on progress :)

Thanks for the reply, that's great to hear! Looking forward to the announcement :)

You mean that you can choose if you buy a clip in 4:3, 16:9, and which hdv? because now every artist has a couple of the same animations in their portfolio, all in another format, and it'll be more clear if you have one, and then choose which one.

I upload all my stuff as:

HD PAL 1080p
HD NTSC 1080p

SD PAL
SD NTSC (D1)

And occaionally if I am feeling geneous...

720p.

..And if you put all these clips in one tagged clip, and then one can choose which one they'll buy.

So... is there already a way to link clips with the same content but different format? I'm rendering my animations in those four formats Lee mentioned anyway, so, if there's an easy way to have them all up and linked, I'd really like that (and like to know how).

Hi!
To link different versions of the same clip:
Select 'A' in the left upper corner and then at the bottom select 'associate versions'.

how does it look like with automatic resizing now?
uploading multiple clip formats is a long lasting and i am not sure if i should do it, but on other servers are my videos sold (at first in low resolution and then HD) but noone bought HD yet on pond 5
thanks
