New to Pond 5

Hey everyone. I'm new to Pond 5. I've used VideoHive before, but this is my first run here. I just set up my account and I'm looking for some answers to questions I have.

1. It seems like when previewing AE templates here there are no watermarks on the pictures within placeholders. Some of the pictures clearly are not that artist's property. Is there a way for us to download free non-watermarked pictures or video on this site for the purpose of using within your preview alone? Of course they will be removed from the project before uploading.
2. Do we need to watermark the project with the pond 5 logo for the preview or will the curators do this? If we need to, where can I find the watermark?
3. Are there any logos we should use in place of for example a business's logo? i.e. Videohive provides you with the Envato logo and other assets to get you started. I haven't found a starter kit here yet.

Any other advice for the newbie? Thanks.

Hi!

1. In case you don't have some photos or videos for placeholders, you can purchase some stock media to use in the previews.
2. No watermarking needed, the system puts it on automatically.
3. Not sure, if there is available a pond5 logo to download.

Check the guidelines, if you have missed: https://www.pond5.com/document/ae_requirements.html
