There is a revolution going on right now with video contributors.  This month, Fotolia announced that "our subscription customers asked and asked - and now we are giving them what they want!"   GIVING is the keyword here.  Unrestricted photo sizes, Vectors, videos by subscription for ridiculously low prices. 

Through this plan, a bronze artist will receive $3.60 for a video clip.  Is this enough?  Many videographers are outraged by this move and have begun to remove their footage from Fotolia. 

I found this statement on MicrostockGroup forum quite well put:  "Fotolia just started with Video-Clips and are not an important moneymaker at all in this segment at the moment, because of this I can see for the first time that a boycott could be success-full.   They really need your clips but you don't miss anything if you don't give it to them. Everyone who knows a producer of Video-clips should tell them about it and invite them to this boycott.  Would be great to see one success-full boycott at last in the Microstock-Business. And Fotolia though success-full is definitely one of the most contributor-unfriendly agencies they really  need to be set to their limits."

Another stated "This will depreciate the stock footage market VERY soon. I think that we must act on the bitter lesson learned with subscriptions and protect the video pricing."

If you provide video content to Fotolia please fully evaluate this situation and decide *for yourself* if you support Fotolia on this.  If you want to discuss with other videographers, you should visit this discussion at MicrostockGroup forum.
