Selling footage

5.2 Upload methods Before you do anything, please make sure that you're familiar with our upload rules and metadata guidelines! UPLOADING VIA FTP Prepare your files. To upload a model release for a file, use the "mr_" prefix in the filename. For example, for a file called footage.mov the model release would be mr_footage.jpg. Connect to ftp://stockxpert.com (NOT ftp://ftp.stockxpert.com!) with your Stockxpert username and password, select the folder "footage" and copy your files. Do not create folders on the server, because they (and their contents) will be ignored. After uploading, go to your SXP Briefcase™. You should see all the uploaded files. Press the Transfer button to make the files accessible in your gallery. IPTC metadata is read automatically. Edit footage details with the Bulk editor if necessary. Uploaded footage files end up in the pending queue immediately, and members of the Stockxpert quality control team (a.k.a. the admins, reviewers, inspectors) check them all for quality, subject, composition, releases and metadata information to see if they fit the site. This may take a few days depending on the queue size. To ensure fast reviews, please make sure that you have all the necessary data filled in and all the necessary releases attached to the files as soon as possible.
