Dear cominity, I would like your opinion and advice. I have a drone and want to become a contributor. I have studied the information regarding video and file requirements. But I don't know the best way. Should I upload raw drone footage footage in flat d-cinelike format ( flat format created for subsequent colour grading ) or should I do color grading with natural colours as much as possible before uploading ? Or is it possible to put both variants in the portfolio so that the clients have a choice?

D-cinelike seems to be a type of RAW. RAW is never used for still stock; customers are looking for things ready to use, not things to be processed; they expect the expert to have already assigned the best possible colours, and a standard colour profile like Rec. 709.

Adobe Stock customers expect perfection for immediate use in their own projects. Most people don't want raw footage but they don't want overly processed, colorized or stylized footage, either. Whatever you submit to Stock, it should be well crafted & have good commercial value as is.
