We are excited to announce that as part of our ongoing site upgrades, approved video clips will now be visible and accessible via the Catalog Manager. This will allow you to perform all the functions currently available for images (sorting and filtering), except for creating Sets. We plan to introduce Sets for video clips later this year. Clips that are pending review and that were rejected can still be viewed on the Approval Status page. Improvements for the Approval Status pages are also in the works and will be coming shortly -- stay tuned!

We are excited to announce that we have launched the Contributor Support Center in 8 additional languages: French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian and Thai. We are still working on additional translations for all the articles currently available on the English version of the Support Center, but we hope this will soon become a valuable resource for our English-speaking, as well as our international contributors. You can find answers to technical requirements, troubleshooting tips, as well as detailed explanations of content rejection reasons and content policies. As always, if there is a topic that you still have questions on, you can always contact our contributor care team. We thank you for your continued support and participation in our marketplace!

@cpaulfell yes, these are the guidelines that we will refer to going forward.

With the recent growth of our community we felt it was important to publish a set of guidelines. We believe in the power of positivity and want to ensure our Forum is a welcoming place for everyone. With a fresh set of guidelines, we can help grow a Forum where contributors are respectful, insightful and inspire one another. Some of you were kind enough to help us review the guidelines, and, we can always update them as needed. Thank you for your commitment to Shutterstock and for participating in the lively conversation on our Forum!

We just launched a new look to the contributor Account Settings page. The new design brings all the existing features together in more cohesive sections, so you can easily update your details, contact info, payment settings and licensing options. We hope you enjoy the new look!

Hi Phoenixns, If you are uploading images that were produced at the time that the model was a minor, you should be using the minor release. The release attached to the image has to correspond to the time period in which the image was produced.
