Footage not showing

Hello, I registered as a contributor a couple of days ago and submitted my footage which now appears in my downloads. However If I try to search the footage archive on Pond5 using the exact tag words and title, the footage isn't showing as available - or at all. Does the footage have to go through some approval process before it will show on the main Pond5 site - if so how long does this usually take?

It can take several weeks. But first you have to see you footage in the uploads page, "Needs Edits" button, fill out: Title (if different from file name),brief description, camera/source, aspect ratio check, audio yes/no, add keywords. Then Save and Submit for Review.

Wait. Make, upload, tag and submit more clips while you wait.

After review, it can take a day or two to actually show up in search results.
