Clip size

From the submitter's guidelines: "Clips should be in the range of 3 to 60 seconds, and no larger than 500MB."
I really find this quite hard to do. Usually my HD clips easily surpass the 500MB limit long before they have reached 30seconds, let alone 60. With the growing importance of HD, could we please adjust the max file size to 1GB, just as most other agencies do?

For most stock shots, the buyer will only use a few seconds in their edit, so there's usually no reason to go longer than, say, 15-20 seconds on a shot.
Also, there are a lot of people with relatively slow connections, so downloading a 1GB file can take a long time for them.
That said, we will make exceptions on the file size limit when there's a good reason for a clip to go over 500MB... Otherwise, please trim the "fat" from your clips, and cut oversized clips into multiple shorter ones.
