Can someone please tell me how you do in order to edit fileinformation.
There is no point in uploading to pond5 if it is impossible to add keywords, give proper titles etc.
With no keywords it will be impossible for anyone to actually view a clip uploaded as "vindruvor9". Besides, even if I give the files their final names before uploading its still gona be futile since the odds of anyone finding a clip without searchwords among a miljon clips is almost zero.
So please, how do I edit the file information.
p.s.
For some reason I was able to add some searchwords to one of the three clips I uploaded. After that it has been impossible. I think I added the words prior to the clips beeing accepted, in the somewhat stupid belief that I would be able to do a proper job once the files were online.
Maybe If I delete the clips, and download them again? But thats another 3 weeks of waiting to find out if editing works.
Or maybe add some new files and wait to find out if they are possible to edit?
At this rate i might get a view on a file sometime around christmas here at Pond5.....sigh

@marmur, we are all adding keywords to hundreds of thousands of files before they are accepted. To edit a clip, just click the ID of the clip in the uploads list. Also, try using another up to date browser if you believe you do not see the "submit" button. Better call pond5 to get help on the phone.

Thx Wideweb. Maybe this is the problem. Maybe I must do all the editing before the files are accepted?
Btw I´d love to call Pond5, but the overseas phone rate is very expensive from Sweden.
To be more clear; I do get to the edit page without problems. I then add the keywords and all. But when i hit the "Save" button nothing happens, and when i leave the page the settings go back to what they were before.

WOW, I thought it was impossible to submit clip without keywords, but somehow you cracked the system. I thought it was technically impossible. I cannot believe the pond has accepted a clip from a newbie without keywords. I hold my head in my hands now.
You must add keywords to the clips before submitting. You can go back to your clips and edit the title, keywords etc.

Try using a different computer, operating system, browser... tell us what OS you are using, what type of internet connection you have...
