There's no easy way on a mac short of buying conversion software (I bought iSkysoft for like $40 and it was totally worth it!). You can use zamzar.com for free conversion - but it's super slow. You can also download the Smart Converter app - but even though it technically converts to wmv customers have to play it on vlc and not windows media player for some reason. A friend said if you just put an announcement somewhere on your site to play clips on VLC it shouldn't be an issue, but I got a few complaints so just bought the damn software.
Freemake Video Converter --- google it, it's also free and it converts to most formats :)

I offer a HD and then and then a smaller version of all my clips, I get about equal sales off each.
Does anyone use something special to make gifs? (i know it was mentioned, somewhere at some point)

Thanks I ended up buying ifunia to convert my clips. They have a free version which I used a few times, but the free version only will convert up to 5 minutes of a clip. Then after a few tries even clips under 5 mins get cut in half. None the less gave me a good enough "sample" to decide to buy it.

I feel like this should be an obvious answer, but I'm going to ask anyway:
Can you do a clip where you're watching porn and getting off to it? There is this clip on xhamster that I stumbled onto while doing my usual searching for myself and it is so intensely up my avenue that I tried to find it. I searched and searched and searched and it is nowhere to be found except as a clip on a few sites. I want to do a clip with it, but I'm not sure about copyright violations?
I'm guessing you are right and wouldn't be allowed. However, maybe if you weren't showing it and just had the audio from the porn, then it would be less risky? I'm not sure... Xx

Like GlamourRouge said, you have to own the rights to clip your watching.
I have a clip where I'm watching one of my b/g clips :p Then add the link to the clip your watching to your description... aww cross marketing

I'm thinking about starting on C4S. Can you put things in multiple categories? Also, do they automatically do categories or do anything with them? As a trans girl, I figure unless I'm actually revealing my penis it'd be fine for me to do videos without stating I'm trans.

I have a C4S video where I'm watching porn while using a toy, but you can't SEE what I'm watching (I'm watching it on the same laptop that I'm using to record myself on cam)...you can only HEAR the guy and girl talking and moaning. :P

You have to pick your own categories, and then pick subcategories for each video. You can upload the same video for more than one category, as long as it's in a different file format.

I had such an uploading "doh" moment today!
I had a backlog of clips to upload, so I just went to dump them all on, and thought to myself, hmmmm...it drives me nuts sitting and loading each one, one at a time. Such a waste of time! Maybe I can open the upload screen in multiple tabs...
I had always assumed that (like many other sites) you could only be logged in on one tab at once - that if you opened a new tab/window and logged in, it would kick you off the other one.
Nope. Just uploaded five clips at once, and saved myself about an hour. At LEAST an hour. So if any of you are like me, and didn't figure this out....you can. Its awesome.
Boy, do I feel dumb!

I used to do the same thing with my videos on MediaFire. When sending videos to guys on MFC, I would send them the videos one at a time, because I didn't realize I could select multiple videos and send them all at once...lol. I could've saved myself so much time! :P

If you could only hear all of the profane language going on in my head right now smh. Wish I had know this before I spent the entire day uploading one clip at a time! Thanks, this is a very helpful tip. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Similar questions have been asked, but when doing a custom clip how do you gals go about charging them for it? If you make the prices higher, do you put a high price on clips4sale and then lower it after they buy it? Or do you sell it to them individually, and then put it on clips4sale?
I'm also aware that some of you sell it for regular price, I worry though if it wouldn't resell easily.

I personally sell custom clips at $9/minute or $99.99 for 10-15mins. I have seen a lot of girls who sell custom clips for $10/min. I'm looking into using a media host plus Payoneer or some type of service so that I can sell custom videos for more than $99.99 (C4S limit). I just sold a 15 min clip for $99.99 but at my rate it should have been $135.

I just did something silly. I sent out a mass email from Clips4sale. I thought they would be able to reply or would reply through the site somehow. But some guy just emailed back, and I've just given a load of custies my real name. My "admin" email is my personal one, and now they all have it. It's
[email protected]
So best that in mind, and I'm away to change it. Bugger.

I charge $100 for a custom clip that's about 10 minutes in length. I use payoneer to process the payment.
For a custom exclusive clip (meaning it won't go up for sale on my clip store) I charge an extra $50. So $150 total.

What do you use and how do you gals compress your vids?
I am using final cut pro for my HD videos and compressor 4.2. It takes a hell of a long time to compress my videos!
I sometimes use iMovie. Same thing there...takes a while to compress.
I use ifunia to convert the files to .wmv for wondows format.

You can compress to different formats, sizes etc, which is awesome. It is really easy and user-friendly, and you can watermark, add effects, and create a clip out of multiple smaller clips. YAY

Thanks for the suggestion (and to others for similar replies).
I just sold a 30 minute custom clip for $400. Yay!
I have a lot of people emailing me about the custom clips. One guy is starting to get on my nerves though. He emailed me asking about it, and I told him that custom clips cost a bit more then what I have in my store. Then he was like "oh, I don't want a custom clip, I just want to give you some ideas for you to put in your store." I told him I was open to ideas and that I'd contact him when I have clips in my store including his fetish. He then asks me questions catering to his fetish (wantiing to go into detail) and I told him that I can answer such questions in a custom video or cam session. Then he asks me like 5 more questions and gives me a list of detailed "clip ideas" with the length and the price. Lol. He's basically wanting me to make custom clips at low prices with the proposition that he's "helping" me. He has some good ideas but still annoying as hell >.>

I don't think you would need to worry about it much more then when they didn't have it...I mean, most people probably won't want to advertise their fetish to their facebook friends. Plus I don't know about anyone irl who knows about clips4sale.
But to answer your question...yeah if my ex-teachers/classmates/etc found out they wouldn't like it, but I've learned to give less of a shit. I always thought it would be kind of funny if some of my ex-teachers found out. Especially the ones who had to read my papers on pro-sex feminism, heh.

That's true.
I'm not freaking out anymore so I edited my post (but it's in your post anyway, lol). I just decided, fuck it. If someone has a problem with me making fat fetish videos then he/she can pay my bills, I won't refuse;D
And I'm thinking who will share it on his personal facebook that he likes toilet fetish or whatever? You're right.

I have no idea on the mac-friendly question, I don't use a mac, sadly!
As for compression, its a lot faster than any other programme I've used, probably a few minutes to produce a 5-10 min clip? It takes less time to compress/produce than to upload to c4s, anyway!

They just don't strike me as the kind of company that would skim sales. Plus in my opinion, if someone wanted to skim a sale you are going to do it on a day that someone gets more than one sale. YKWIM? That way it would look less suspicious.

No they don't skim sales. I remember one girl coming and starting a post ranting at how she was getting "ripped off" by C4S, no sales and massive chargebacks on everything purchased. She was full of shit.
You can't ever expect that 200 hits = multiple sales all the time. Because you can't. Sometimes it takes 1000's of hits to get to $20+ a day depending on your personal traffic, if/where you're advertising directly, promo etc.
Today I had one sale so far and 57 hits (I haven't uploaded anything recently).
Traffic to sale ratio varies greatly.

So, yesterday I was too tired to type all this: I don't think that they skim sales, C4S is by far my favourite in every way possible so I don't think they would do that. (I'm in love with their customer service especially!) I'm starting to give up on trying to figure out C4S: one day I have 50 clicks and 5-6 sales (because of the one guy who buys a lot of clips); other days, like yesterday, I have 550+ and only have a few sales. I don't understand it, but one thing I learned: just keep updating and never delete a clip. I had clips sitting there for 2 months and they didn't sell; and now this month they sold many times over. You just never know.
About chargebacks, I only had one chargeback too ever.

Yeah, a while ago I got an e-mail from a guy on C4S (in my PRIMARY e-mail which was connected to my real name). Since then I've changed it so that C4S is linked to my alternate e-mail.
Though I don't know how it looks on the guys' end...if A) they can actually see our e-mail address when they e-mail us, or B) they just click some sort of 'E-mail me' link that conveniently hides our e-mail from them? I'm not sure.
