We always have had the footage live here at P5 weeks before anyone else. P5 had the advantage of first opportunity to sell for several week. Now it's flipped. The other places have them live several weeks sooner even though P5 still gets the first upload. Oh well, as long as they show up they will sell. I'm sure there is a reason. Maybe it's trying to get the European site integrated and taking a lot of time and resources that wasn't expected.

At shutterstock is takes 1-24 hours to get clips online. I had plans to have good clips exclusively here and began uploading, but if stuff does not get online even after 1.5 months, it becomes pointless. What is going on? I was thinking Pond5 had a reputation being good at video and providing quality clips and not the same pile of microstock photos online absolutely everywhere?

I had a large number approved and searchable on-line but received no e-mail or message like normal.

I still have a growing queue. My oldest is Oct 1. I don't think I've ever waited this long for a review here on P5. Even iStock is beating the P5 reviewers.

Still no reviews ....... At that other agency my clips were reviewed in 4 hours....
Come on curators ........ eat some spinach !

.... another day goes by ..... I guess we are back to 1 month+ review times.

If Pond5 is seriously this overloaded, which I suspect is the case, they need to either:

1. Hire more reviewers
2. Curb uploads

As Pond5 becomes more popular, this review time issues will only worsen unless one (or both) of the above are addressed.

I'm fairly new on Pond5 with only 28 clips on sale (30 in queue). I was feeling encouraged to submit more after having a couple of sales last month, but with the super slow review times I am left feeling more like looking at other sites.
