Hey everyone, I'm using Storyblocks but I'm looking for satellite footage from far above. I found a few videos of specific places like the strait of Gibraltar for exampe, but I'd love to have more variety and also for less common countries, like central europe, northern norway and so on. Or to show the river Danube across Europe, or the Alps. Do you know where to find something like this? NASA/ESA? Or even from the ISS from above? :) ​ submitted by /u/EuroXcentric [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Until recently, when I have included one or more YouTube video URLs in a gmail message, a clickable player/link has magically appeared at the bottom of the email showing the usual thumbnail and 'play' arrow. This no longer happens, and I don't think I've changed any settings in gmail or my browser. Does anyone know how to recover this feature? ​ submitted by /u/KrisHughes2 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey guys, I'm thinking of re-editing an older video I have uploaded and reuploading it as a new video. It has been up for about a year, doesn't have many views and can probably benefit from being edited down to being shorter. Has anyone done this and do you know if this would be ok to do with YouTube? submitted by /u/lennytim [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

In the book, the Youtube Formula Derral suggests organizing videos by traffic source and compare the data for AVP, CTR, AVD and Views(I think I added views on my own). You have to do it manually one video at a time and transfer the data to a spreadsheet. That's how I had to do it any way. The two sources I used were Suggested and Browse(I plan on adding search but it's not part of any strategy I currently use to target search). Once I had all the data plugged in( I omitted two outlier videos, one from each source. Both were anomalies that outperformed) I noticed that browse is outperforming s ..read more

Hey folks, Whilst there is a great and easy fix for this new UI right now, which is one I personally find disgusting, but understand others may have less issue with, I think it's really important to remember that the fix is just a JS injection that toggles a 'preview' variable. The reason for bringing this up, is that if this UI change is pushed out globally, there won't be a toggle any more, the fix will stop working. As creators, you will likely find this even more frustrating if you engage your viewers comments, or if you create detailed video descriptions with links etc. At the top-right ..read more

I had the video private for a long time, no copyright issues, than after going public I got the content ID. However, I did forget to put "epidemicsound.com" in my description at first. Does this mean the song creator manually content ID'd me once they saw I didn't put credits in the description? Also, I muted that portion of the video, so it's too late now, but is there any way to dispute the claim and also temporarily mute the song so that I don't miss out on revenue while waiting for the dispute next time? submitted by /u/nman649 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m buying some new stuff to use for my set up, I’m planning on buying another monitor, a ring light and a new camera but I don’t know what a good camera to use could be, does anyone here know what could be a good and cheap-ish camera I can use? I already got a pretty decent camera but a new one could work good, or should I stick to my current camera? Also is a ring light good or should I get something else? submitted by /u/Bigheadballa_1 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey everyone, please excuse the clueless question ..we are starting a little YouTube channel on politics and we're writing the scripts ourselves, two friends are doing motion design and animation. The only problem is that it's very time-consuming to find data and footage for illustration. We would love to hire someone who digs through homepages from companies (let's say a heat-pump explainer), organisations (e.g. UN or EU summit footage), stock footage search engines (pond5 / storyblocks is all we have so far) and even Instagram or TikTok to find appropriate footage and also data from reliabl ..read more

I don’t really know how to explain it all in words….but I went from never doing research for a video to actually being obsessed with it and I love it. Today was the first day I actually started to look up info. The topic is regarding the Xbox Series S and kinda what the plans were initially, etc. Anyways, it would be a really long post I was wondering if maybe someone or maybe even a couple people wouldn’t mind jumping into a chat on discord or anything really. Even if it’s just text. Or even if it’s me talking and you guys respond with text. Just wondering if maybe I can explain what I am do ..read more

Hey, I'm starting a channel on geopolitics and naturally will need to use at least some footage of celebrities or politicians and their speeches (let's say Greta Thunberg or Vladimir Putin for example), political leaders at summits, handshakes and the like. On Pond5 I've seen a couple but honestly for the money they ask the selection is not really convincing, especially since I have a Storyblocks subscription already for regular stock footage. Do you know better subscriptions for this? Or search engines where to find this kind of video footage specifically, outside of WikiCommons and Archive ..read more
