My Pond5 Stock Video Collection Workflow (So Far!)

Some workflow tips I've figured out so far about collecting stock footage for resale on Pond5.

These things work for me - although they may not work for you.

My workflow practices so far:

1: If you're capturing stock videos during your shoots for other projects, use a separate camera (or SD card) just for capturing stock. Personally, I find it invaluable to separate projects like this and know what's on each memory card.

2: Another advantage to using a separate "stock" camera is that you can configure it in advance for stock-friendly settings. I try to shoot stock in 4K at 24 FPS (versus footage for YouTube which I generally shoot in 1080P). 

3: What's sold for me on Pond5 so far seems to be more obscure urban landmarks that weren't already widely shot and on the marketplace.

I don't see stock videography sales as a major money-maker. But every little helps. And it's helping me save towards my next camera purchase.
