The sham'in clip producer's post

[The_Musician]

I have went off in the form about horrible tickling clips and being riped off. I have lost a ton of money on bad stuff, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY ! Everyone who buys clips or stock film or even customs takes a gamble on what they get . Now I will say just maybe the shameing producer post that has upset so many could be a little over the top . I agree there's are a lot of trash being sold and I believe the preview of a clip is to short , It wouldn't hurt to have a 15 sec preview instead of 10 ,in that amount of time you are not giving a thing away and maybe a producer would get more business. I would bet everyone that belongs to the TMF has a beef about something here and about tickling but maybe most members just keep it to themselve's and then some just let it out . I agree about there is to much crap ,But in saying that I do know it take's a lot to produce a vid or clip ,you would not believe how hard it is to produce a music video . You throw the dice and see what you get when buying tickling clips or video's .I do know that there are a lot of great companies out there and not all producers are crook's . I know I need to practice what I preach on some stuff .I didn't know tickling could be so hard . Just remember you have to pay to play and that is the very truth of the matter.

I thought previews were 30-45 seconds.

10 second previews? Why bother?

He's talking about the ones on Clips4Sale I think.

10sec is the max limits for c4s previews and there are limited choices when it comes to where the previews are going to be.

Lately I have had some problems getting it to do what I want as well.
Like I wanted a clips to start halfway in the video, but on the site itself it shows something else. Kind of irritating..

But I totaly agree that a 10sec preview don't give you a damn idea on how the video is. Should be atleast 20sec if you ask me

But tons of previews are posted on the seller's actual websites and on here and on TT. I wouldn't just rely on clips4sale.

It seems like everyone is throwing tk clips together because it is what's hot. (LOL me included, but I did it for fun and for free).... If you don't have info that they are a reputable company, then don't buy from them.

Check out reviews, ask around, go to the direct websites for longer previews. Hmm.... Am I being naive?

I guess some producers might think that long previews (or previews at all) will cause less sales. Seems like most people just stick with the previews and don't buy the clips.

More than likely you re right Cavum. Especially seeing as right now we currently have 350 people in clips. It makes me wanna advertise stuff there right now. Candy bars, books, used cars, hair extensions.... I'd get a lot of attention there! We usually have the most traffic in the video section.

Every once in awhile I get had and get a clip that sucks, but most of the time I know where to look to check it out before hand.

I'm not a big fan of the limited choices on c4s in terms of preview length. On my website, all videos have clips that are at MINIMUM, 30-40 seconds.
Also, when I release a full DVD for sale or for download, I use rapidshare so I can post links to longer (sometimes up to 3 minutes), higher quality clips; most in HD. It's only fair.
