A Complaint to Producers About (C4S) Video Samples

Ever since since C4S allowed producers to include a sample of any given clip, I have been continually frustrated by two things:

1) Most samples are only 10 seconds long.

2) Many of these short samples don't have any actual tickling in them; often just a bit of lead up conversation, or the lee sitting, lying, etc. waiting to be tickled.

A simple request then: Include longer samples, at least 30 seconds, and include some tickling.

I love buying videos, but live on a tight budget, and will not put out the $$$ unless I'm convinced a video is worth it.

:ty:

I used to gamble on those clips but having been burned by the clips not matching the description hype I only purchase clips that I can see a sample of the real content. If a producer wants to sample their legal screens and not the content then I don't buy their clips even if I think I really want it.
 
Just so you guys know it's not our fault. We can't control how long the previews are on Clips4Sale. Clips4Sale only allows them to be 10 seconds. Now you can choose what part of the clip you want the 10 seconds to come from like for instance you can do the very beginning one fourth of the way or half of the way, but it is always going to be 10 seconds. I just opened up my store, but I'm pretty sure this is something that was implemented not that long ago. Basically you shouldn't be complaining to the producers about their preview lengths on their Clips4Sale's you should be complaining to Clips4Sale. Although I have noticed that most producers myself included usually post previews on other sites, so we can post longer ones.
 
A lot of producers tend to attach preview clips to their posts here on the TMF, which I always think is better. C4S do seem to be quite restrictive when it comes to the preview clips!

Actually the standard 10 second previews have been that way for years and years. There is now an option to make a preview afterwards, which gives you more choice over the part of the clip you want, and it can be longer than 10 seconds (I think it goes up to 30 seconds). It is still limited to a selection within the first 5 mins however, which is only going to be the first third or half of many clips so not necessarily representative of the clip as a whole. Also it can be quite buggy and very often doesn't work!

C4S producers are working within a limited system which isn't perfect. I notice a lot of other fetish producers that don't even bother to add a 10 second preview at all!

Okay thanks. I am still very much trying to figure things out and I must have missed heard from people about the previews changing. I'll have to look into what you said about there being a way of making previews longer, from what I've noticed it seems like you can only do 10 seconds, but I might have missed something.

Case in point, not sure if I can post links but look up the studio that simply has the name "Octopus". All of their previews are more than 10 seconds long, between 20 seconds and 27 seconds actually. I've come across more studios with longer clips but their names escape me at the moment.

Agreed. The French Tickle Store Clips 905, seem to be the most generous, as well as UK, FTKL, Czech (sorry if I missed anyone), but their (longer) samples are either attached directly to the message here or hyperlink provided to another site.

I think Tommy that runs Tickle Abuse still has an account on here. You could see if you can get a hold of him and ask him how he does it. Both Tickle Abuse and The Hard Limit have previews that are 20 seconds or longer.

I figured it out and they need a better FAQ. I finally figured out you can upload your own previews that can be up to a minute long. If you don't Clips4Sale automatically generated a 10 second preview for you.

The big producers are machine well oiled, they incorporate longer previews because they attache those from another location, basically they make their own previews. All the other producers are using the C4S system, that allows previews up to 30 seconds with some limited options has to where on the clip you can take your preview from. It's limited, but it's ok, with some work, everyone could make a good preview for every one of there clips...but it's time consuming for a a barely decent result.

The best way to know if a clip is good from my studio, is just ask me what you're looking for and i'll tell you what I have available online or here.

Yep, it's been possible to upload your own preview for a while now. I'm not about to go back through all of my old videos and update them, though.

The bulk of my customers come from my other social media accounts these days, and my (longer, HD) previews are posted on my PornHub and Instagram pages, as well as here. I'm pretty sure I don't actually get any "drive bys" from people browsing the tickling section given how far down in the list I am, but if I'm wrong feel free to let me know.

That said, even the guys using C4S's built-in preview generator should stop letting the system default to the start of the clip, because yeah; that stuff is rarely if ever the actual tickling. I usually set mine to "1/2 clip" so you actually see the action.
 
Yeah, it's an old system that will hopefully be revamped when they retool their site. We've always made or own trailers that tend to be a minute for every 10 minutes our video is. That way, you know what you are getting.
 
I don't know if I would call FTKL's "previews" a preview. They have a GIF file they run with some of their videos on C4S. It's just a 15 second loop with opening title, and then some tickling. There's no sound to the GIF file, and there's no "click here to preview" to see it on a bigger screen. As I said, this GIF file runs for 15 seconds, then repeats itself. There are other tickling/foot fetish sites on C4S that do the same thing.
 
C4S got a bit better in a way that they now allow to upload your own preview. They still lack a working gif creator - gifs of 16x9 HD clips are made in 4x3 format. And they just answer that they won’t change it in the near future.
So producers have to take time doing everything themselves.
