Are your Pond5 uploads on Adobe Stock?

Mine are not. I believed my stock footage from Pond5 would matriculate to Adobe Stock video however I can't find my content there.

What are your experiences?

Thanks,

I upload to Adobe Stock separately, not sure why they would be there otherwise since Adobe is it's own agency?

I read that when it came out. To me I didn't take it as our videos would be integrated with Adobe Stock, to me that is when you are editing in Adobe products, you have ways to access Pond5 or Adobe Stock videos. I know a friend of mine that edits and buys stock footage uses it that way. He used to only be able to access Adobe Stock, but now has access to Pond5 work to, but I don't think all of it.

I may be wrong....just read something else that makes me wonder if some of Pond5 stuff is being put over there.....

A few of mine got migrated over from P5 to AS but my user name wasn't preserved so they we hard to find. I finally gave up waiting for some mass migration and started uploading to AS in parallel with P5.

I load my videos separately to Adobe Stock and have considerable overlap with Pond5. I have about twice as many videos on Pond5 as I do on Adobe Stock, but my first sale was on Adobe Stock. Between the two sites, Adobe Stock is far pickier regarding technical and usage issues. For example, I have a video of the entrance to the FBI's headquarters building in DC. There are no people in the shot, it just shows the entrance with "Federal Bureau of Investigation" over the door. It was not a problem to upload it to Pond5, but Adobe Stock rejected it saying that it was a recognizable building. And there is no obvious link to appeal such decisions.

I also like that Pond5 lets us have a description of a video, which sometimes can be used to give context to a shot. There are no descriptions on Adobe Stock.
