I can download the preview but there is no sound for any of the videos!!!
Many of our video clips do not have sound, so that could be intentional. If you like, feel free to contact our support team with the specific clipID number, and we'll be happy to make sure everything is in order. (support@pond5.com)
A recent client is asking for a lot of stock footage. Is there a cool way to replace previews with purchased footage once the edit is locked? (did that question make sense?? I can clarify...)
Hey Charlie, we have reached out to you directly to clarify some more about your request :)
I also have a client looking for a lot of stock footage. Is it possible to download the collection instead of each clip individually ? If not, it's a major flaw in the site..
I don't know if this has been explained somewhere yet, but even when i explicitly filter for videos with sound, the previews don't have sound at all. What's up with that?
Hey Bill, unfortunately our batch downloader is not working at this time. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. We expect to have this feature back up and running but do not have an approximate time frame for resolution unfortunately.
When filtering your search to Contain Audio, it should filter out any files without audio. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have run a few searches and the search appears to be working as it should when filtered. Please feel free to provide me with some examples where this is not the case and we would be happy to investigate further.
Well, for example, this whole part of this gallery
(I have filtered for audio, but none of the previews seem to contain audio):
