What is the maximun clip length

CharlineExclusive 19 Jun 2020 16:01
I tried to upload a couple of video clips (mov) at 47 seconds or more. The site won't take it, saying the file was too big.

It's been a while, so what is the maximum size that is allowed?

Thanks in advance!

What size are the files?

5-7G, I think.

See link above, are they R3D files?

Sorry the link is not working. They are mov files.

Duration and File Size
Clips should be in the range of 3 to 60 seconds. 1080p clips need to be no larger than 3GB for HD content; 5GB for mov 4K files, and 6GB for R3D, including mov previews.

We prefer that the clips have no edits. If you have a file with several clips edited together that can be sold as individual clips, please separate them. Pond5 may determine certain sequences acceptable if they meet specific artistic or aesthetic standards.


Resolution and Frame Rate
Camera-shot clips should be prepared at their native resolution and frame rate. For motion-graphics work, we will accept any resolution/frame rate (the larger the better), but it’s a good idea to stick to these standards:

4K and above: Keep the file size below 5GB
HD 1080p: 1920×1080 (24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 60 FPS), 3GB max
HD 720p: 1280×720 (24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 60 FPS)
PAL: 720×576 (25 FPS)
NTSC: 720×486 (29.97 FPS)
NTSC DV: 720×480 (29.97 FPS)

Interlaced footage is strongly discouraged.

Note: PAL and NTSC are non-square pixel formats. They are meant to be displayed at 4:3 or 16:9 (anamorphic) aspect ratios, and will not appear to have the proper proportions when viewed as square pixels (as on a computer monitor). Pay special attention when creating motion graphics work in PAL/NTSC. If possible, create clips at a higher, square-pixel resolution (eg HD1080 or 720) to avoid confusion and make your clips useful to a wider range of buyers.
