Thanks for replay Mark!
But we need to know what steps are you doing for change this situation?

At this timeâŚ42 days to aprove stock footage! This begins to be anti productive! I suggest hiring some authors here (top authors) (of course if you hire any author here this author can not sell in this market while making revisions). Another suggestion (offtopic) is an option we can choose to Envato sending one email each time we make a sell.

I think it wouldnât be fair to hire authors as reviewers due to the conflict of interest, but I agree that we need more of them.

many times I sent my resume that I wanted to be in their review team.

Yes they need to hire more people. Or a good way to go faster in the process would be to review all the pending review clips from the same author when one comes at the top of the list.

Word on the street is that theyâve actively worked to scale up their resources in the review team. The thing youâve got to keep in mind is that even if the queue is staying the same or getting longer, that doesnât mean theyâre not hiring new people or there hasnât been any improvements⌠itâs just that if they hadnât have hired new people then it would have been even longer.
And the thing with hiring a bunch of reviewers⌠if you hire too many then you need to get rid of a bunch of them when the queue is back to a reasonable length, which isnât very nice for the new reviewers.

Well you have something call temporary jobs⌠they donât have to hire them full time. But understand that it is very frustrating to wait a month and a half in a review queue. And itâs even more frustrating when we barely have any news from the staffâŚso we donât really know whatâs going on!

Thatâs why theyâre actively working to meet the demand by scaling up their resources in the review team. And Mark provided an update three days ago⌠if you have any specific questions that werenât answered by his post, then youâre welcome to post them here and Iâm sure theyâll be addressed.

Yes, I have a special question to Mark: why sometimes there is about a 1 minute delay between every rejection e-mail, and itâs normal, I can understand it - and sometimes - 30-40 rejection e-mails come at the same time, at the same minute. Itâs not possible to view 30-40 clips at one minute

as for me I have stopped for submit footages 30days ago⌠I know ppl who did it in june-july⌠and I visit this page and see 42 (!) days http://quality.market.envato.com/videohive
if they donât know what to do - letâs make limits as at AudioJungle. so curator wouldnât review 50clips for 1 minute

Well ⌠I will wait for the final justification by the Envato, if I not be happy with the answer will think change all my files to another platform that works and sell well as the Pond5, having an analysis time of 24 hours, less work in the preparation of files and the possibility to choose the price I want for the files ⌠and other platforms to ⌠sorry guys (Envato) ⌠but I think most users will do the same if not exist a quick answer!

ricardomms, Fully support. I have a big batch of clips shot in my Asia trip - itâs on the review now - if it also get a 99-100% reject after 40 days of review, Iâll delete all my 6000 files portfolio from Envato. I really donât know - who was the initiator of killing videohive footage business⌠everything was going so wellâŚ

Iâm not Mark, but if I had to guess⌠when youâre making ten cups of tea, itâs much easier to add the water to ten cups, then add the milk to all ten cups, and then add the sugar to all ten cups. It would be more time consuming to add the water, milk and sugar to cup one, then add the water, milk and sugar to cup two, and so on and so forth.
Whatâs the question?
Itâs very simple for Envato to hire extra reviewers. If you think logical, doubling the reviewers will reduce the waiting time at half. Money itâs not a problem for envato, I am sure. (MOD: edited)

They can make a contract with the future reviewer for a period of 3 months or something like this. If you hire more, you bring more stuff on the market earlier, you make more money, simple as that.

So whatâs up with the idea of setting upload limits as in AudioJungle? I think, this step will increase quality of footage better than just rejecting everything. Because people would start to think about what to send to the review, instead of uploading hundreds of similar footages hoping that some of them will go on sale.

I agree with my colleague!!!
Thatâs assuming that the number of uploads is constant. Thereâs a few too many factors for it to be as simple as that⌠it is physically possible for them to double the amount of reviewers and the queue still gets longer.
And new content doesnât automatically mean more sales. Itâs possible, yes, but itâs just as possible that somebody will buy the new item instead of buying an existing item⌠so if this new item hadnât been reviewed yet, then they would have just bought the existing item. Thereâs 11m items across all marketplaces⌠if that doubled to 22m overnight then total sales figures wouldnât double overnight as well.
