5.1 Getting started

How to apply?

Before you can start selling footage on Stockxpert, you need to sign up as a regular user and then apply to be a seller. To apply, you have to fill out an Artist application form at My account / Profile.

The application process

Please tell us a bit about yourself in the application form. Once you agree to the terms and conditions and hit submit, you will be sent an email and informed how to upload three half resolution Quicktime MP4 files. Please take your time and fill out the form PROPERLY, beceause applications with missing information will not be accepted. Your application will be checked by the administrator team within a few days and you will be able to see the results in your profile.

I got approved, what now?

If your application got approved, you can start uploading footage right away. Your uploads will be still checked by the administrator team, but the most difficult part is over. :)

I got rejected, what can I do?

Some common reasons for rejection maybe because the video is shaky, blurry, grainy or copyrighted material. We also keep an eye out for "canned" or easily produced CG (computer generated) material.

Before applying, we highly recommend doing some research on what's popular in stock (you can do this easily by checking our top downloads for example).

If you get rejected, you can't apply again for a month. After that you may try again.
