AudioJungle Music Video Loops http://wiki.envato.com/basics/audiojungle-music-video-loops/ http://wiki.envato.com/basics/audiojungle-music-video-loops/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:21:11 +0000 Scott http://wiki.envato.com/?p=5606 Posting music videos containing your AudioJungle tracks on YouTube, Vimeo and other video sharing sites is a great way to promote your AudioJungle music. To assist with the creation of music videos, VideoHive authors have created the following video loops that you can download and use free of charge.

Each movie is in either .mov or .mp4 format. By opening the .mov or .mp4 file in the video editing application of your choice, you can loop the video to the desired length while also embedding your AudioJungle music track. If you are looking for free video editing software, PC users can download/use Microsoft Windows Movie Maker while Mac users can use iMovie.

Envato’s Most Wanted: Terms & Conditions http://wiki.envato.com/basics/envatos-most-wanted-terms-conditions/ http://wiki.envato.com/basics/envatos-most-wanted-terms-conditions/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:05:45 +0000 Scott http://wiki.envato.com/?p=5599 “Envato’s Most Wanted” is an occasional event we run on the Envato marketplaces that gives authors an opportunity to win “cash” prizes in exchange for submitting specific content we are in need of. We post a “Most Wanted” notice in the forums and/or on our blog, Envato Notes, explaining what kind of files we’re looking for and where to upload them. The first authors who submit a file meeting all our criteria, that is subsequently approved, win! So in short, it’s race to see who can submit quality content the fastest based on what we’re looking for.

Authors entering this giveaway should be mindful of the following:

  • The total prize fund and number of winners may vary between each Most Wanted giveaway. The period during which the “Bounty” (total prize fund) is offered starts on the day the Most Wanted post is made and ends on the date specified in the announcement (“competition period”). All this information is stated in each Most Wanted announcement.
  • All contest winners MUST keep their item online and available for sale on our marketplace for a minimum of 2 years from the final approval date.
  • Authors continue to receive their normal commission rate on each sale.
  • “Cash” prizes are paid by PayPal or Moneybookers only. Authors should ensure they have either of these payment vehicles available prior to entering the giveaway. No alternative payment arrangements are possible.
  • The number of total prizes any one author is eligible to win in any one Most Wanted giveaway is stated in each announcement and may differ from event to event. An author will be unable to win ALL of the Bounty, only part of the available Bounty, based on the individual event posting. For example, a competition may offer a $100 reward for the first 20 items in a category, with a maximum of 3 prizes per author. If the author submits more than one item in the competition period, the author can get up to three $100 prizes ($300 of the total $2000 Bounty) based on submission date of approved items.
  • Prizes are only given to APPROVED items based on the submission (upload) date of finally approved items. Items that are rejected due to not meeting ANY of our standard file preparation or quality criteria (see our marketplace upload instructions) are not eligible for prizes. But if an initially rejected item is improved or fixed, resubmitted during the competition period and then subsequently approved, the item becomes eligible for the giveaway. The eligibility date is based on the submission date of the finally approved item, NOT the submission date of earlier rejected versions of an item. Our decisions on whether items meet approval criteria are final.
  • NO correspondence or inquiries regarding status of prizes shall be made to staff or support. We will post all winning usernames/authors in the forums and/or Envato Notes and we will contact all winners directly.
  • Prior to receiving prizes, winners will be notified to complete an online authorization form to accept certain competition terms. The main purpose here is for authors to accept the agreement of keeping their approved file available on our marketplaces for a minimum of 2 years from approval. Winners will be given two weeks to respond (if there is no response we may award the prize to another author based on submission dates of approved items).
  • We reserve the right to move items incorrectly uploaded to the requested category to their correct category, which may impact eligibility for Envato’s Most Wanted.

After uploading images via FTP or the Web form, uploaded images are processed and eventually appear in 2 groups on the image submission page:

Items ready to submit for review – Description and tags (keywords) are extracted from the IPTC meta data. “Select” to submit for review, or edit/review the individual image submissions.

Items requiring correction - Fill in, edit and correct image meta data:

  1. Click the “Edit Item” link under “Items Requiring Corrections”
  2. Fill in the image meta data:
    Title: 50 characters that best describes your image.
    Description: Describe what’s in your image in one or two sentences. Do not add a list of keywords to the description.
    Tags: Enter up to 50 tags (minimum 15) to describe your image. Tags must be lowercase and separated by commas. For example: duck, pond, lake, water, quack, beak, paddle, white, yellow, park
  3. Tick if you agree with the warrant and click Submit.  A message to the reviewer is not typically required.
Use the checkbox to select multiple items for submission or deletion. “Select All” will allow you to submit or delete up to 20 images at a time upto the daily limit (250 at present).

Image Review

Here’s what you should know after submitting images into the review queue:

  • On the Author Dashboard, progress bars show you how far through the review queue each image has progressed as well as the time since the image was uploaded.  A progress bar which is 3/4 filled for an image uploaded 3 days ago indicates the image will possibly be reviewed tomorrow.
  • Your items will be reviewed and you will receive an approval or rejection e-mail for each submission. This can be changed to a daily summary email from the Author Dashboard | My Settings page.

Following the review process:

  • Items which are approved appear for sale on the marketplace with no further action required on your part.  The new Portfolio tab is accessible from the top of the Author Dashboard.
  • Items which are rejected fall into two categories: Soft and Hard reject. Soft rejected items are those which require small adjustments before they can be accepted on the marketplace. These are viewable through the new Hidden Items tab on your Author Dashboard and can be edited and re-submitted. Hard rejected items are those which do not meet our image requirements and cannot be accepted for sale on the marketplace.
  • If your images are not accepted please refer to the individual rejection emails or review our image requirements.

In the meantime you can upload more images!

PhotoDune: What is the Required Image Quality? http://wiki.envato.com/selling/upload-instructions/photodune-what-is-the-required-image-quality/ http://wiki.envato.com/selling/upload-instructions/photodune-what-is-the-required-image-quality/#comments Sat, 17 Dec 2011 09:54:36 +0000 vahid http://wiki.envato.com/?p=5390 Images need to be aesthetic, well composed and offer utility to our customers.

To avoid image rejection please ensure your submissions also meet the following criteria:

  • Feature sharp focus on the subject. Background blur and bokeh is acceptable and often desirable, but the subject should be sharp.
  • Well lit, free from harsh shadows, with contrast inside the digital sensor or film’s dynamic range.
  • Properly exposed.
  • Should not contain excessive noise.
  • Should not contain moiré patterns.
  • Should not contain any chromatic aberrations or “fringing”.
  • Smooth color gradients.
  • Maximum quality settings – no excessive compression artefacts.

Images which are highly digitally edited or use alternate processes (eg. cross-processing, lomography, HDR images) may be suitable for PhotoDune, provided they retain image quality at large sizes and are commercially useful.

PhotoDune: What to upload? – Will it Sell? http://wiki.envato.com/selling/upload-instructions/photodune-will-it-sell/ http://wiki.envato.com/selling/upload-instructions/photodune-will-it-sell/#comments Sat, 17 Dec 2011 09:51:31 +0000 vahid http://wiki.envato.com/?p=5386 Amidst tens of thousands of competitors, distinguishing images as being commercially valuable might seem daunting. The best place to start is, without a doubt, the existing PhotoDune library. Familiarise yourself with the images, and see the type of images that have been selected.

Think about the reasons they are accepted:

  • Does it say something?
  • Does it have a message to tell?
  • What different elements make the image special?

What makes an image commercially useful? A photograph can be technically skilled and aesthetically pleasing but still not sellable. What makes an image versatile is its ability to communicate a message, and if that message is only coherent and powerful to you, it won’t sell.

There are always niches to fill. As the PhotoDune library expands we’ll tip you off as to which categories need a little extra attention, and which are done to death.
