Hi Bethany and David! Nice to meet you both! I'm a top-rated spokesperson based in Los Angeles. So excited to be here too!

Yes true. I liked the freedom we had before to source the materials from wherever we wanted. You could get Getty images before for $10 each, but would need to source your own music or video clips. Thanks for chiming in! I definitely understand the Fiverr business side of it. I’ll hope for the ability to edit the price on these myself someday (with the set minimum dollar amount Fiverr approves, of course). As of now, the price cut from the $10 Getty price down to $2 just doesn’t justify the extra work involved with using these assets in editing 😅

What do you guys think of Shutterstock replacing Getty? I'm on the fence about it. I love that it's streamlined and we now have access to video clips, but I don't love that the option to add music as a package inclusion is going away. Also don't love that the cost is so much less, which would impact my bottom line on these extras. Would love to know what you all think!

Welcome to the community, Jimmy and Jenny! 🙂

@gajuseidiThanks for being so honest and open about your experience! I hope new sellers see this, and are inspired to do their own research and learn as much as they can to help their businesses grow 😉

No, not directly. The entire model of Fiverr is that Buyers are supposed to be able to purchase quickly and easily. You can put language in your gig description or gallery image/video that requests that Buyers message you first, but they can still ignore that and order without doing so.

Hi @hasibulbd2You ended up in the wrong thread. (This is an intro thread for video/animation sellers to get to know each other). For tips on starting out, you will want to visit the Seller Tips thread and post your question there. There are lots of answers to this very question in that forum. https://community.fiverr.com/forums/forum/16-tips-for-sellers/ Or, you can check out this article: https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360010708757-Best-practices-for-new-Fiverr-sellers Good luck!

😭 Lucky! Haha

Perfectly said @video_at_fvrr I know a lot of us work predominately solo and from home, so its great to have a community here to chat with. Unrelated, @thedoreo, but please tell me in the reboot of the Muppet Babies, they finally showed their Nanny's face? That's all childhood me every wanted. 🤣

Thank you so much @thedoreo! So helpful. Sounds like its time for me to learn Adobe! 😅 I've never heard of Calvary before, so I will definitely check that out too! Thanks again for all your help! Nik

Hi! @thedoreo Thanks for getting back to me! I’m looking to add motion graphics and infographics. I attached a couple short clips on what I mean. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to create something interactive with my spokesperson videos, like this: (PS: Sorry its randomly a gun law video. It was the best sample when I was searching for "spokesperson with graphics" videos 😳)

Hi all! I'm a Final Cutter, but I want to start incorporating custom animations into my work. I notice a lot of the community uses Premiere. Just curious if anyone uses Final Cut and can recommend an animation software that would integrate well with it? Thanks! Nik

Hi everyone! I'm Nik. Spokesperson and scriptwriter. I stumbled into this forum completely by accident, but I'm hoping it will be a community to meet other video/animation pros and share ideas. Nik
