The Stock Video upload page is for submitting both stock footage and motion graphics. Other video items (e.g. Video Templates and Add-Ons) can be uploaded here.
- Files can be uploaded using the browser, Dropbox and FTP.
- Thumbnails and preview files are now automatically generated and watermarked.
- Metadata can be added ‘per item’ via the upload page or ‘in bulk’ in a .csv
- Releases can be uploaded via the browser (or FTP if adding metadata via .csv)
Uploading Video Metadata via CSV File
Using a CSV file allows you to attach metadata to several videos at once. Each row in the CSV should represent a video that was recently uploaded.
The headers at the top of each column of your CSV must match the headers as they appear in the sample CSV. If our system can't recognize a header-value in the CSV our system will ignore it.
You can download a sample CSV to use as a template.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some Frequently Asked Questions about the Stock Video upload page:
- What happens to the files I submit through the Stock Video upload page?
Files that are submitted through this page are sent to the Envato quality team for review. For any soft rejected items, you can edit the file from the Author Dashboard > Hidden Items tab. - How do I upload my own thumbnails or preview files?
For a single clip, the upload process automatically generates thumbnails and watermarked previews of your items. For multiple clips, you must provide video and image previews for watermarking. - How do I submit items that contain multiple clips?
Authors can submit multi-clip ZIP files through the Stock Video upload page. See the Multiclip Submission Requirements article. - Does the upload process re-encode my uploaded file?
No. Although the uploaded file is processed in order to generate the thumbnails and previews, the file that you upload is the one that is submitted for review. - Some of my clips are showing as ‘In Error’ - what does this mean?
When a new item is uploaded, the file is checked against the submission requirements for footage and motion graphics. For example, the file needs to be encoded with an acceptable codec and for footage items must be at least 5 seconds in length. Any file that does not meet the submission requirements will not be accepted. For more information, see the Submission Requirements article. - What types of video files can I upload?
For information about the codecs allowed for video items, see the Stock Footage Submission Requirements article.
For information about Multiclip Items, please see the Multiclip Submission Requirements article. - Can I use the Stock Video upload page for other types of files other than footage and motion graphics?
