Thank you for posting this thread. I have learned a lot. Can you please explain why you sell 3 minute videos instead of the 10 minute videos ?
I have a logitech 9000 webcam and have been making custom videos for people with that. Is it good enough to sell clips on clipstores?

Hi
With clip stores in general, you do not need an HD camera. I personally think that most clip store people, myself included, are not interested in HD. As they are already at the site, dick in hand, and do not want to be waiting 45 minutes for a download. You can film in HD if you like, and encode for SD to cater to the clip store market as a work around.
HD is nice to have, and give you the option to go up or down on the quality. Where as, you film in SD, and you can't go up. Just get worse or the same. If you can afford it, go HD. If not, short term you can get buy on a cheapo. Look at most of the stores. They appear to shoot in night vision.
You break clips up because some people will buy only a certain piece, but more importantly so you the update 'pop'. One update, one bite. More clips, more bites. The dollar amount is irrelevant. You are looking for those 'pops' on updates and eventually you would be pushing these buying customers to pay site(s).
