I've become a lot more active with microstock lately, and I have to say, uploading to iStock just kills me. Its terribly slow and convoluted. Does anyhow know of any fast way to upload lots of images to it?

Thanks,

I haven't used it yet, but DeepMeta is supposed to help alot.

Edit:
BTW, I just checked out your website. Amazing film/video work! I love the chroma-key demos in your sample reel! I'm just getting into videography, and I'll be the first to admit that I have a loooong way to go.

you could ask iStock - it's in their best interest to help you find a faster way

Cool! Thanks for the link. I've actually spent a bit of time searching the iStock forums and never found that DeepMeta program. It would be really cool if it were set to work with the big 3 micro agencies websites, but alas, I'll live for now.

Thanks for the demo reel compliment. My main career focus is actually cinematography. Stock photo in my written business plan, but only as a potentially large side income. Right now I'm using it to help me financially make a proper leap out to LA, in the hopes I'll be able to live a good year or more without needing a regular job to support me. You gotta be full time all the time if you really want to make any progress in film out there; but with downtime between jobs sometimes spanning weeks, even months, why not shoot stock? Just makes sense to me. The best part is, when I drop it to go work on a film or TV commercial, it still earns me money! Perfect scheme man.

BTW, 95% of my demo reel was shot with a modified DVX 100. The mod lets me shoot 4:4:4 10 bit RGB 1K footage! Its one of the very first RAW digital cinema systems ;)
