Envato Videohive Free Download ((NEW))

d) Many old authors have gained skills and are ready for the global and interesting work, but the existing two licenses and their prices, do not give the opportunity to do it directly on Videohive. This also applies to the problem of attracting new talented and authoritative authors. Videohive is doing much more to attract and to encourage the beginners, but does nothing to attract talented authors. I know many old authors who have lost interest in doing something new for Videohive. Some are already having their own studios, some are doing their plugins, some are working with 4K files that shooted by the RED ONE and then make the projects with those materials and some are making incredible motion graphics. But they do not aim to sell all of that on Videohive for $ 28-84 dollars. The fact is that the ordinary buyer would be quite satisfied with Full HD and does not need a super-quality and great attention to details, so he or she is not willing to pay a higher price to post a video on YouTube. Only the buyers who value quality and details, who will post their works on TV and movie theaters, are willing to pay $ 500, $ 1,000 and more to get a quality product in a short period of time. But there are no such licenses on the Videohive and this is one of the main reasons why many talented authors do not place their works on Videohive. Shortly speaking, the problem is not a small price for the ordinary buyers, the problem is a small price for those who usually pay much more for things like that and that is what stops many authors to upload high-quality projects here.
.
A simple example: A buyer purchases a project from me with an extended license for $ 99 to broadcast it on TV. At the same time, the buyer acquires a music track from AudioJungle at with Music Broadcast & Film licence for $ 304 to use it with my videohive project. Is everything right or I have missed something? Does such difference in the price of a license mean that the work on the creation of After Effects projects easier than work on a music track? Is this a reason why the cost of a project less than the price of music tracks? Of course not. Both music track and After Effects template require a lot of time and efforts and sometimes, just on the contrary, they both can be created easily and quickly when inspiration captures us entirety. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. And the reason for the price difference is only that Videohive has stopped.
I remember a few years ago, one author from the AudioJungle became the reason for creation of the new licenses. Of course, that is also a merit of those who supported his post then. Tim (@TimMcMorris) , could you please remind me how many years have passed since that? Two or three? I tried to find this post on the old forum, but the search engine did not work. I was very happy when new licenses appeared on AudioJungle. I believed that this was a right way and I thought that the next in line was Videohive. How much time has passed since the time the new licences appeared on the AudioJungle? Since then, the authors from the GraphicRiver received an opportunity to designate the price for their items on their own, Themeforest authors were able to earn extra for their support but the authors from the Videohive during all that time were able just to observe the changes in licenses at the other markets. Because Videohive has stopped.
The templates from Videohive have long been used for music videos, movie trailers, TV commercials and TV shows for quite a long time. But what was done for Videohive? - The price of a single extended license has been reduced several times, instead of making it as at AudioJungle.
I understand that Videohive covers a large audience of buyers due to low prices. It was from the beginning and I do not call on to raise the prices high, I call on to review the pricing policy for some items and add more licenses. Point 3 is one of the reasons why the Point 1 exists. Videohive encourages more simple items and does not encourage the more complicated. Why not to give the authors an opportunity to upload different versions of their projects at the different prices? Full HD may cost less, while 4K should be more expensive, as it creation of 4K project consumes more time and system resources. Besides, 4K need is required for the large-scale projects, and people are willing to pay a little more for such a template.
b) What the sales statistics of Music Packs/Kits is saying? Does it not bring sales? Does it not bring profit for Envato and authors? Are single tracks no longer generate sales because people began to buy only Music Packs and Kits? I know a lot of musicians from Audiojungle and I know that their Music Packs are sold, single tracks sold, Broadcast & film licenses are sold. Then why this opportunity does not exist for authors from Videohive? I know why - because Videohive has stopped.
This could be a good incentive for the old Videohive authors, who has a large portfolio, and who was forgotten by you. And it would be great for new authors as well, who are willing to do more extensive work. You can make certain restrictions for Videohive Packs (Kits). For example, can be used no more than 3 or 4 projects in one Kit, all projects must be from the section, the same project can not be in two different Kits etc. Unfortunately, this possibility no one even takes into consideration, and you know why.
a) As I wrote, I have been registered on Videohive for 7 years already and from the moment I have uploaded my first project, I still get the questions from the customers which license to choose for the particular use. Yes, to be honest, sometimes I do not understand too what kind of a license to advise my customers when they ask the question. The popularity of Videohive has long ago gone beyond the Internet, I see my works and the works of other authors from here on TV shows, movies and commercials. But the last time interacting with the support, I realized that there is a kind of vulnerability that exists in the license, which may influence the choice of some buyers to the direction of a regular license instead of buying extended one (I can not talk openly on that subject at the moment).
Now in 2017, YouTube vlogging overtakes the ratings of many tv channels. Popular vloggers earn a lot of money on advertising and they are working in whole working teams. But still the use of After Effects projects for YouTube is equivalent to a regular license. Many TV channels do not earn as much as some vloggers, but still have to purchase an extended license. This issue has been already resolved at the aAudioJungle with new types of licenses, but has not yet been resolved at Videohive. Why? You already know why - because Videohive has stopped.
b) ContentID. I have faced the fact that many of the buyers do not understand (or do not know) that they can not add the projects that bought from Videohive to the ContentID system on YouTube. Many buyers simply do something for a customer, then transfer the video file and do not ask them not to add the video to the ContentID. This happens because they have no idea that they cannot do it this way. There is no word about ContentID and the responsibility for such an act under the conditions of the license.
In general, Videohive needs at least new items in the license agreement to help the authors to defend themselves against the copyright infringement. Even if it does not help to prevent a violation, at least, in future it will help to defend themselves at the court, find good lawyers and receive higher compensation for their time.
This is the end of the first part. I still have lots of ideas how to improve Videohive which I would gladly share with you. But in case the foregoing in the first part would not meet any response among Envato management I see no point to write anything else anymore. I do believe that everything I have written above should be beneficial to everyone: to Envato, to old authors, to new authors, to customers because it is not all about the money but about common sense.
Well, Videohive has stopped, but maybe it is a high time to move further?
Oh, I totally agree with you, my friend. First about the plagiarism, I always carefully looking for projects on the videohive, before making my project, so that it was not a march on the others. Therefore my projects so rarely publishes, I could make them a lot more, but I want uniqueness. But almost all of my projects are immediately copied by other authors. (
And I totally agree with you about licenses.
Hi. What happen for videohive. Making a little tour around items can reveal a catastrophic sales drop for all items and all authors. In the past for exemple in top new files we start count for 100 70 sales for the first item and may be more. Now the top new sale dont reach even 20 or 30. Many items even they are good and quality can stay for days without any sales. I dont now if envato team noticed that or no ?? It become a serious problem here so many authors start to retreive their project from videohive to sell them on other platforms or cancel their exclusivity to post on other sites and get more sales. May be envato elements is a cause so authors trys to be member there to compensate their sales drop. But many dont get answer. By my experience i asked many times but nothing. In the same time i ve noticed there was some authors less active with less project are accepeted in elements. I dont know what is the strategy of envato and are they aware about this problem ?? hope videohive will be back as it was. We had good expreineces here and wish to continue the adventure with envato but in the same time team must resolve issue to make authors more confortable
So why they dont close all markets and keep only Elements and move all items and authors there as other markets do ?? Just change the formula and lets see. But keeping things as they are and making if i could say discrimination between authors some in videohive only suffering and some in elements will have a bad impact.
