Wow! My brain hurts thinking about this. Let me see ...... if I resubmit all of my existing photos and insert a watermark suggesting the viewer shake their monitor while viewing them, will that count as footage? ;-) |

I have a DV camera but here in France It's not NTSC, I think It's PAL. Does anybody of you know if there is a way to change the video into NTSC ? |

Is possible, but is not recommended. PAL has more lines and less frames, while NTSC less lines, but more frames. Converting from PAL to NTSC will have to drop some lines and interpolate some frames. Anyway it will result a quality loss. If I would be you I would just leave it in the whatever native camera format is. That is because some customer maybe will require the movie in the PAL format and he will have to convert that back to PAL, but that means the seccond quality lose (because it will have to drop some frames and insert some lines). |

With this great opportunity for all of us, I was just wondering how will the referral program working with Footage. If we refer someone, will we also get a % of their sales or fixed price ?
Just wondering as I'm ready to send a few refering mails to my friends ;o)
I'm so excited with this new move from SS ! the more I think of it, the more I imagine the potential this represents for all of us !
I never said it... but like the others here.. I love the way you are doing the business !

thanks for the help,

Neil, I have had the same problem. In fact I can see my QT movies (MPEG or Sorenson) but DV exports do not show up. These are higher quality than others and I read somewhere they will accept DV. I just think this is at the moment not yet recognized by their software behind to automatically move the files on their server/database :o) Let's wait and see :o) Eager to know like you. |

I believe France and the former Soviet States use a technology called SECAM... The rest of Europe uses PAL --and Japan too I think. (time to Google)

Here's a link to international standards. If you convert whatever you use into Quicktime, then the original format is a non-issue. That would assume the software you use to get a clip into your system accepts that format, of course. Quicktime is universal as its own "thing." |

I'm sure I read somewhere that you can upload PAL. If that's the case you don't need to convert it.
From Footage submitters guidelines.
Footage must be at least 480 pixels in height with an aspect ratio of at least 4:3. We are asking that film clips try and abide by the NTSC standard of 29.97fps (frames per second) with a time limit no longer than 60 seconds. Film clips that are uploaded with the PAL standard of 25fps are also OK. |

Interresting... but doesen't help me... I don't shoot videos anyway... but still... it might add more publicity to SS.
The performer stats info on the main submitter page, is now not avalible. The footage stats took all the space... |

Thanks for your answer, I will follow your advice, I just hope there will be needs in the Pal format. |
