I feel really silly asking this but how can i set a clip to render into different formats automatically i.e hd mp4, hd wmv, sd mp4, sd wmv. Currently ive gone back to windows live movie maker and am saving file as each type and doing it one vy one which is taking forever. As of bext week i'll have my super duper new laptop (windows) and have adobe creative cloud, now i just need the best way of doing this.
Hi,
We had been doing it that way ever since we started (2014), until just last week. If you have creative cloud: download Adobe Media Encoder. You can create a watch list folder in which you drop your file and it converts to as many formats your heart desires. Only took me a year and a half to figure out. Ugh. LOL

I use freemake but it's now downloading a load of crap with it and altering browser settings etc...so I run ADW Cleaner afterwards. It is faster than rendering on Movie Maker each time.

All of my sites, C4S included have slowed to a crawl and there's a day or two in between sales on each site, then when I get one it's a one clip order! I don't expect to make anything this month.

Hi ladies, I have a question -- Whats your opinion? I'm going to be completing a 30 minute custom for a custie soon, and I'm also going to be breaking that down for resale into parts 1-3. My question is, when/if you do this, do you put an "ending" at the end of each one, the clip of the video you used at the end of the ACTUAL 30 minute clip? Does this make sense? So do you take that ending and put it at the end of each of parts 1, 2, and 3? And do you do the same for the intro?

I break them up according to theme of the video if possible, ie. spanking in part 1, fucking in part 2, etc. I don't worry about endings if it can't be broken up naturally into scenes, they can buy the other parts for the ending, that's the point. I link to the other clips in the description when I remember. I wouldn't put the ending in parts 1& 2 as it would ruin the surprise of the ending for part 3. If you're concerned about the flow, just use the whole clip, some guys like really long clips.
Hi girls!
Question. I am new at c4s and just got my first batch of videos there. I haven't sold anything yet but got an email from admin with a couple of what seems questions from a couple of guys about custom work. That email includes their email addresses and I do not see those in the 'email' section of the page. Am I suppose to send them a direct email to the address I see there?
Also, for the girls who get a check, how does their name come out? I am curious because I don't live alone and I don't want the check to give me away.

Last year our February was pretty strong. What I have noticed in the time we have been doing C4S is that the first half of the month is slow and then picks up towards the end.

Yes, but I don't (didn't) have consistent updates over the years so it's kind of hard to compare. This month, so far, has been steady. Not outstanding, not great, but not horrible. (Now that I've said that, I've just jinxed myself! lol)
The thing with C4S, and why I urge people to print out calendars and write out their daily sales, is that it can turn around at any time! Case in point, last month I had a few slow sales days and was starting to lose my motivation, when right after that I had 3 GREAT sales days in a row. Sometimes we lose our motivation to shoot clips, but then you look back at the month and analyze your sales and you notice that they picked up again and then (in hindsight) you wish you would have updated more to take advantage of those days.
I do think it slows down a little leading up to Valentine's day, but I've found that sometimes is the case around (close to) holidays.
I know it's frustrating, but some months are better than others and you never know when a great sales day is around the corner!

C4S Newbie here, Thank you to @Sinna for your amazing guide and big thanks to the other ladies help!
I used to dance briefly and am in getting into clip making since dancing is so bad in my state and I could use the extra income. a few questions for C4S vets!
1. What's the best way to stand out in a crowded category? for reasons personal I only want to do things that focus on feet, booty, legs since those are my moneymakers!
2. Do some of you not show face at all? Are you able to be recognized? I have a vanilla job and can't really show face.
3. I'm looking into c4s and manyvids, is there anything that forbids uploading on both sites?
4. Is it necessary to maintain a following and reach out via twitter/instagram? I don't mind doing it and love social media, but with these things unlike camming is "connecting" to a customer essential for success?
Thanks for all the help here! Time to go through 100+ pages :P

My quick, personal opinion:
1. Have something that no one else has and promote that :P Your passion, your make up, your voice, your toenails, your ...
2. Oftentimes we recognize ourselves when someone else would not. If you don't show your face and not film in a room full of family pictures and diplomas with your name on it, it should be no problem.
3. You can upload on both sites, c4s will make you more so keep that up at all costs. Updates on c4s are also more important than on manyvids, as every new update on c4s will get you exposure on the frontpage (unlike manyvids)
4. No. I actually did better when I didn't do any social media stuff, but who knows, maybe I would do worse without it, today.

I felt like I was building month on month with C4S consistently making more and more and growing my categories...and then it's all gone to shit this month. Nothing is selling. I am still a small fry, but I was hoping that I would make my (seemingly conservative) goal this month, but unless all the clips i release from here on out go gangbusters, I am pretty screwed. Is anyone else really really really low this month? My hits are great, but for whatever reason nothing is selling.

Does anyone know... I had a client ask if he could buy a "bulk" lot of videos from Clips4sale with a special price. On manyvids, you can send out a video to a buyer without them paying , can you do that on Clips4sale. Say if he used the tribute button, can I send him links to each video without him having to pay for each one?

No way to do this, and i certainly wouldn't accept a tribute in return for videos, he could do chargeback/fraud. C4S says don't give services for tributes.

Of course you could find other ways, in that case just note that c4s does not allow the tribute button to be used for something other than tributes/donations. Customers can't receive/expect anything back, because that could spark problems e.g. refund requests for tributes.
Anyway, I used to get tons of those bulk requests and always told them to buy on c4s. If all my big orders would have circumvented c4s, I would have dropped from every toplist very fast. I think having them order on c4s, where the order counts towards your ranking, was more valuable for me. The other thing is, they always argue that you could give the clips cheaper because of a) bulk b) no c4s fees. So essentially, they win double with the option to scam you and charge back while you get less money, only to sell some clips.
You don't need that trouble.
I once had a guy offer a sum for all my clips - for bulk price. The price was okay (about 1/5 of the c4s store value), but I didn't want to see myself on tube sites or have a private membership site about me, that I didn't know about, somewhere on the web. Where they earn money with my clips.
So yeah, I wouldn't do it normally. Only in very rare cases (like c4s doesn't accept payment from that country). It's always more risk for less money (of course you can argue that he never would have bought them on c4s. But who knows? Most of mine said "okay, too bad" and then still ordered a lot of clips. If they ask you something like that and they are honest about it, that means they really WANT a lot of your clips. It's not like they move on if they don't get a bulk discount. But they might buy less clips, that's true. For more money though.)Too tired. I am falling asleep

My upload speed on Clips4sale seems to be caused by them. My upload is 15 mbps and I just got a brand new computer today. It seems to take more than 3 mins sometimes when before I would upload and it would take 1 min, depending on how long the clip was. Most of my videos were 2-3 mins and they would upload within 1 minute. These are NOT big files. Anyone else notice this?
Missjayne77
02-12-2016, 06:13 PM
Thanks for all the reply girls. I told him the price (as there is an option on manyvids for membership to get all videos for one price) and he just returned the message with thanks and thats it. Obviously wanted them below cost which I wouldn't do. Fingers crossed Feb Clips Sales pick up for everyone.

Does anybody know why you can not edit profile?
You can. Only for some fields (like password) you have to ask the studio support because of your own account safety. They will then ask you some details only you will know (like name of the bank account holder, password) and when you answer all of that correctly, they make the changes that you wish for.
I never tell them my password though and that's fine as long as you know the other stuff.
Edit: I am taking this back. Seems like you can't anymore. I think this is a reaction (and a good one) to the recent password phishing attempts. They probably got a few passwords so c4s decided it's saver for us all to shut down any private info. I think this is great!

Hi everyone.
We also have received the "batch of clips" buying proposal, it looks like there is something going on, are your guy initials P.M too?
Sales gladly are going back to normal levels, our first 4-5 days of this month were to forgot, but after that we have got really good selling days (I can breathe again :) )
Ellie dear, obviously I wish you can fix your uploading problem but only to give you an idea: Our uploading speed in this "third world" country is 0,75 mbps :( And we have 3 active stores at this moment and wanting to open 3 more!
Please don't take this wrong, we are not greedy people, it just we are many people in this project here and we really strugle with our poverty situation, but I don't want to bore you guys, let's cheer up!

Sorry but you just had to be negative on my post, huh? I am sorry about your problems with your clip store but my post was about my sales in February being great. You are always complaining and bellyaching about your sales. However, everyone gives you great ideas about getting better sales but no....you want to continue to complain. Do you advertise anywhere? I advertise everywhere that I can because I know that my clips are a tough sale. But I keep making clips, advertise to my audience, and putting my work out there. Maybe you should do the same :)

I have a clip that's a little over 2GB. The clips is 64 minutes long and at 720p resolution. C4S won't upload the clip. Why is that?

I have a clip that's a little over 2GB. The clips is 64 minutes long and at 720p resolution. C4S won't upload the clip. Why is that?
It's because of an algorithm that prevents over encoding. I tried to find out at what size / minute ratio clips are being allowed on the system, as I was often struggling with that. However, I couldn't quite find it. They recently announced that clips great in size than 1572MB must be more than 29 minutes long. That would mean that the limit of what's acceptable is 52.4MB/minute. That is not true though. I have more accurate and safe knowledge, which I have put into a guide on cliplength (http://adult-income.com/clips4sale-clip-length-guide/). If you stick to that guide, your clips will get through.
By the way, the resolution is not a factor in clip size. It's the bitrate (among other things). Encode your clip in 640x360 and 1920x1080. Use the same bitrate. You will see that the resulting clips have the same size. You will have to recode the clip and reduce the bitrate to get the clipsize to 2GB (exactly) or below.
Note: sometimes, clips get accepted that should not get accepted according to my guide (as you will also see in the guide itself). That's what I meant with "I couldn't quite find it". Maybe the bitrate is also taken into the calculations. I don't know, but since I know what I put into that guide, all my clips get accepted.
