HOUSTON, TX,
December, 2011 - Since its humble beginnings in 2005, 123RF.com has
been accepting stock photos from photographers and
licensing them to advertising agencies, graphic designers and businesses under
a Royalty-Free license. Today, 123RF.com officially announces the launch of its
video submission platform. Keeping in line with the growing needs and demands
for video and motion graphics in the advertising & media industry, this
significant evolution for 123RF.com has resoundingly solidified its position as
an established player in the Royalty-Free stock photos and digital media
licensing industry.
Recent research
reports by Nielsen[1] and Gartner[2] shows the increasing
prevalence in the use of video and video based advertisements[3]
especially in mobile devices is rapidly gaining ground over traditional forms
of advertising. Stephanie Sitt, C.E.O. of 123RF Limited believes that the
availability of internet bandwidth that enables the streaming of videos is a
key driver for the growth in demand for highly creative and yet commercially
orientated stock videos.
“We’re very
excited to be able to develop the platform to open yet another income channel
for videographers, agencies and other producers of stock videos. We certainly
have the platform, the eyeballs and the right audience from the right industry
- all that’s left is the right content to meet that demand. Our traffic and
internet reach according to Alexa, Compete and QuantCast has increased more
than fifteen fold over the past 2 years, making 123RF.com the fastest growing
Royalty-Free stock agency.” enthused Sitt.
Sitt goes on to
add, “Our IT team have put together a reliable and fast video submission platform that ensures a stable upload, quick file-encoding and comes complete
with a user-friendly interface for keywording and release attachment. To submit videos to 123RF.com, just create a Contributor account, and follow the
instructions to start uploading. We have approximately 30,000 videos in our
databases right now but would really welcome more to ensure that our clients
will be spoilt for choice during the launch day, scheduled for January 2012.“

123RF is a good creative source, but agencies like StockFuel has been accepted video for some time. I suppose this is news, but there are many other microstock agencies that allow for video sales.
It is marvelous and extraordinary. It is good.
