Hi,
I have joined SS today with the aim of submitting digital footage's which i create in After effects and Maya...I have seen a lot of them in the footage section which are created by different authors.
Some links of such types of animations.

I tried searching for the guidelines for submitting these footage but could not find them in the forum or shutter-biz..
All the topics in the footage section talk about the videos shot by camera..
I want to know what do shutter-stock call these footage? Stock footage ? then what is a video footage called?
I am looking forward to create some animations and put them on shutter-stock for sale..
If anyone has any idea of what I am talking about, please let me know..
I would like to know what copyright release info is needed along with these clips...what formats and type of animations are acceptable..
Thanks and look forward to you response.

Stock footage is stock footage whether it is created in-camera or digitally.

The same guidelines apply for CGI as they do for video. Just render out according to the specifications, such as a quicktime mov photojpeg progressive between 75-95%.

You may want to specify that your videos are CGI in the description.
