Linking or referencing similar clips

GreatWildlifeImages 8 Dec 2021 05:05
What is the best way to link clips that are related. For example, I have several mule deer fights that last over a minute. I will divide this into several different clips and I may also do several slow motion clips in each set. Is there a good way to reference the whole set (say 4 to 6 clips) in the description, other by listing the clip reference numbers. However, even if the clip reference numbers are listed the potential buyer cannot cut and past those into the search feature. So how can I direct the buyer from one clip to another?

I have asked the same question to no avail. I use the description to drive folks to other clips and directly to me. BTW you have some great clips. Because of you I don't even bother to upload my mule deer shots. ;-))

WinterQuartersProductions-Thanks for the info and for the Kudos. I enjoy your clips too. I miss the Bighorn sheep I used to get in Utah and W WY.

You can go to the uploads tab, select online from the (Status) drop down menu, under Clip Details you can change the title, under Tech Data you can change the original file name, this is all a painstaking process tbh, no way I can add that to my work flow so here is what I do and yes it works as I have sold clips that were similar, I shoot in groups, I edit in groups and I use the same keywords for the groups (similar of course) and I use a 4 or 5 word title to all and just add a one or two word descriptor at the end of that, this maintains the sequence integrity and allows the buyer to see all off the videos or images at once from the same search. Now if you are trying to group after the fact then option one will be one way. I have found that once it is uploaded and approved then I don't add any extra mojo GLWS

It really comes down to them having similar titles and keywords.

btw, when a buyer finds your video, they also see similar videos from artist just below that.

Thanks Madvideos; Yeah I do something similar but often the shoots are months apart so I am now keeping a Keyword file that helps and sometimes check the descriptions on old clips. When I am not uploading I do make a point of going back and checking older clips and doing some editing; ie reevaluate, adding keywords, etc.

Hi GWImages; I am lucky that I have 350 Bighorn within a 20 minutes drive of my home. The only downside is getting my old bode up some of the hills or across the local Indian Reserve where most of the the sheep reside. They are mostly California Bighorn, but a few have some Rocky Mountain genes so have larger horns.
