I just realized something else - I haven't been getting sales e-mails for years now. I get an occasional one here and there and also general info mails, so they have the right e-mail. I also tried new e-mail client, still same. I tried numerous times to solve this with support but gave up. If any change demands for my pending clips are sent with the faulty mailing system, I might not see them!

Where do you see the status of your pending clips? My last one has been marked as "inactive" for hours now. Do you get a dash board notification when status changes? Or is all by e-mail?

I never got an email about my last clip being approved or that I made a sale, so I'm not sure if thats messed up too.

After 12 hours I sent a ticket asking about my clip and how the notification works. Got a generic reply (via e-mail, so that worked anyway) that they are sorry for the delay and working on it. Of course no actual answers to any of my questions. An hour later my clip is live. So complaining seems to push your clip into review quicker.

But. As mentioned before, the clip is not posted as a new clip, it is added at the time of upload. No front page exposure if your review is late. And if you post in a busy category, exposure might be lost there too. One might think it's a fair game as there is a review "queue", right? No, looking at the front page, the first bunch have been approved within minutes and all of them are posted way after I uploaded mine.

I tried to post a clip around 1 pm yesterday. I got an email around 3 a.m (today) saying it had been approved. I really hope they can figure out a way to speed up the process. I'm going to keep posting on there, but I'll have to look at other sites too. I love the features on Manyvids but I always made more on C4S.

Has anyone noticed if there's a time of day where reviews get through quicker and get stuck at other times?

9pm and 105am last night, no reviews. It's been over 20 hours since the 9pm post now.

I just submitted another clip at 540pm and it was approved in 10 minutes.

There definitely seem to be times of the day to avoid submitting AT ALL since you end up at the back of the queue!

Has anyone had a clip rejected/changes demanded for anything SPOKEN within the clip? If so, not sure I want to continue clip making at all as lots of dialogue is my thing and it would be too hard to avoid every single banned word. (like I get slurs etc, but there are so many everyday words on the banned list too)

This is what I have wondered too. Are they going to monitor ("review") what we say as well? For some strange reason I was thinking that it was more visual things that they were looking for. I only saw one or two mentions on Twitter about clips that have been "Pending" but neither were about things said in a video.

AlyssaJ

IWantClips just clarified how their approval system works. It's AI and they admitted it's far from perfect. On IWC you can't say banned words in the preview, so I assume it's ok to speak them in the content. I only use GIF:s there so should be ok. On C4S I usually have a preview AND a GIF so maybe will deactivate preview if in any doubt.
Hopefully C4S will be more transparent too. Just got another generic bs reply that my clip is sent to review (it's was approved yesterday) instead of answering any of my questions.

They were videos uploaded and scheduled before the 15th. I edited some legacy clips after the 15th and they were all approved in 8-10 hours. All of those legacy videos were reviewed and approved but none of the others ones have been. I tried updating one of them on the 16th at the same time I edited an older clip and the older legacy one was approved and the others are still inactive.

So regarding the newest admin update that was just released, all videos will have a mandatory content review before it is posted on the site.

I wonder how this is going to work with taboo content? Obviously the wording has already been changed to include "step" infront of any family word but are they going to reject content if "step" is NOT SAID infront of every family word in the clip?

I mean seriously, that is going to be major stupid.

If you get an answer on this TX, let me know please. I am saying step in front of every word and I filmed some schoolgirl role-play clips and for real I felt I had to say "I'm 18" at least 2x. I'm not about to film content and have it rejected, even if it sounds corny. Sorry, clients. I'm just assuming rules will be really tight from here on out, hopefully temporary...

Clip comrades, I have an idea. If you're like me you don't want to create content that may well be rejected and you can't post it on the site. My thought-- re-edit an old clip, make a mash up or something.. featuring a category or action or dialogue you aren't sure they will approve. Post and see if it is accepted or rejected. A low effort way to test if what you want to do in future is worth the time or not... also please post back or DM the results of what is approved and not approved

I posted a taboo clip and it was approved. It took 12 hours lol, but it was approved. It was my usual roleplay. I didn't say "step" before anything in the clip. But I did write step in the description.

Interesting.

would be quite awkward to have to say "step" before every single thing you say. Maybe descriptions are the post important thing to make it clear it's a step roleplay.

I haven't been producing clips lately, getting back into it this week.

I'm super impressed with Clips4sale's speed on approving my latest one. It was a really long one, 35 minutes long and had a lot of special effects and they had it approved and live on the site for me within an hour! Wish all clip sites were this efficient.

Updating/Posting is not working with previously added clips.
I added ~30 clips on October 07th with "Performers Compliances".

Support do not want to modify date for this clip.

Just to ask, have you been if C4S has got better in time approving and publishing clips? Are they close to fix that bottle neck they have been struggling in past days?

Sorry for my English but it's important to know about this because on our little store we depend only in to have our clips published, we don't promote on Twitter or anything :(

Thanks in advance for answering.

I think someone on here said it seems like they stop reviewing clips at a certain time of the day. I usually post my clips later at night and it's been about 10 hours for them to get reviewed and posted. It's just something I've accepted that I've got to deal with going forward.

I've decided for November I'm just gonna say "fuck it" and get back into doing more clips. This is the "new normal" (god I HATE that saying...lol) for us clip producers so being upset about it is just wasted energy.

I feel like there is at least a few upsides to the changes in recent times. My sales are increasing for some reason.

I think some of the reasons are that it's harder to find free content now since pornhub had to stop allowing anonymous uploads, plus assholes who steal content can't create a listing and sell it as easily.

This is my best month since February, even my iwantclips store is popping off. Very weird. I have, however, had 30+ chargebacks/refunds this year. That's more than I usually have over the course of several years. Every time I get a sale now I just think, welp that's gonna be a chargeback. It absolutely sucks ass, what happened?!

Hi, first of all thank for your answer, you are very kind :)

And what about the percentage of clips (obviously those which are ok on Compliance stuff and everything) they are publishing during the day?

Let's say we publish 4 clips...are C4S approving and putting on the list all those 4 clips? We've read they were receiving +2000 (two thousand) clips daily and they could only reviewing and publishing barely around 200 (two hundred), wow that would be only 10% of the clips they receive.

If someone knows about it and would let us know it would be great.

Cheers.

They have gotten better and appear to be going through a little over 1300 clips a day now, and have topped out there.
You can see that number per day on -
https://www.clips4sale.com/search/clips

That's still a ways from their past highs, though. If you look back at 2020 data you can find as high as 2800, maybe even higher

Though that was the lockdown era and every internet entertainment site experienced a serious boom around that time.

Wow thanks a million for you answer and the links, you are very helpful :)

Now our question would be...those 1300 daily clips are the same number of clips uploaded and OK with Compliance things and that? It's not the same if all stores upload 1300 clips in total and they publish everything than if all stores upload +2000 and C4S is getting back on +700 clips every day :(

Maybe in the past many stores republished same videos cheating the system and C4S is stopping that with the reviews, that would explain at least in part why 1300 is the new normal, that would be a better picture than a daily +700 clips backlog.

We don't know if we explain ourselves good, please excuse our English, if someone know the uploading/publishing ratio would be awesome, we think it's difficult to know but if anyone can answer about it we would be very thankful.

Cheers and thanks again, we wish you all the best :)

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but maybe this info will help: I uploaded a clip about 7 pm US eastern time a few days ago and it was approved and up and visible for sale in about an hour and ten minutes. I uploaded another yesterday about 1 a.m. US Eastern time and it took about 6 hours and it was up for sale.

Other clip stores are taking way longer so I think C4S are doing pretty well at getting my clips approved and up.

Very late to updating my compliance stuff, but have been reading along as posts appeared, and now that I am updating C4S, a couple of Qs...

* Do I need to make a performer compliance profile for myself? (solo profile)

* Are my store/individual store items still visible to potential buyers? I haven't had a sale in a couple of months so just hoping it's because I've not added new stuff (computer broke) and not because they've hidden me for not being up to date with compliance.
EDITED: I see nothing in "Pending" or "Inactive", all are showing in my dashboard as "Active"

Thanks!

Yes. Even if you are a solo performer, you need a compliance profile. Weird, I know, but it's what we gotta do.

If you haven't already, you need to sign the legacy content declaration:
https://admin.clips4sale.com/compliance/legacy

That will cover all of your content prior to Oct 15th, 2021. Unlike Iwantclips, C4S is not going back and reviewing content before that date, so you shouldn't see anything as "pending" or "inactive" from that.

Have you went to your store and tried to buy a clip? Just add it to your cart and see if you get any kind of error message? Otherwise, I don't know about the sales thing. I know they stressed the importance of having compliance done by a certain date, I think it was Oct 1st. I don't remember if they said what the consequences were of not doing so.

New things on the site. So now when we are adding clips we got this message before hitting add clip

"Adding and saving this clip puts it into the Compliance Review Queue and will block all editing of the clip until the review has been completed.

If you DO NOT want to add the clip to Compliance Review Queue, then please click the EDIT CLIP button. Then uncheck the ACTIVE box and click ADD CLIP again, then click SAVE CLIP, which will set your clip as inactive allowing you to make changes to the clip before submitting it for Compliance Review."

Not to mention I read it like 3 times...And I think it's not working. It would be way easier to just give us the "inactive" box to mark, why they're always making things so hard?
I really need to have the ability to edit my clips after posting them, since when I am uploading a 4 versions for the future activation of the same clip I am using the previous form with everything filled
out...I like to just do it at once and then forget about it. But no, now every one of my clips is lands in this review queue, and I need to go back and check if I can edit it or not, since this method that they invented is not working>:(. At least for me.

I can not delete files. I click on delete, it says they are deleting but nope still there. Also and more important the system often refuses to register the clip so I try to put it up for review and it just spins and spins and then says "Unable to compute duration for clip.". It's doing that a lot.

I had a little trouble logging in and out before and a message that said try again in two minutes.
Now I got a clip approved in 10~ minutes but nearly an hour later still not showing in the store or C4S list, and the front page has not been updated in almost an hour.
Lots of reports on Twitter that people are getting approvals but their updates aren't showing up at all.

I've been camming/filming for 10 years and I've gotten more chargebacks on c54a just this year alone than I have on all of my sites combined in 10 years. I used to be able to count on one hand how often that happened now every single month its 5-10 (sometimes more!) chargebacks or refunds. This isn't happening anywhere else, only c4s. I don't even wanna upload anymore and every sale I'm thinking well there goes another one.:(
