Can I upload stills from videos as photos to the Adobe Stock for sale?

Hello! I'm interested in the following question. Can I upload stills from a video as photos to Adobe Stock for sale?

What I mean is this. For example, I make a video to upload to a stock site. From this video I take a few frames and post these frames as photos separately from the uploaded video.


I have seen information in some sources that this is allowed. The Adobe Stotsk rules do not directly explain this situation. I haven't found a way to contact support to clarify this issue. That's why I created this topic here. I would appreciate your help and clarification.

If your stills represent unique content, then they are acceptable. If they are part of the video as published, I would not do that.

What is the difference between a frame from a video and a frame taken as a photo during a session in the same location?

Video and photography are two different pairs of shoes. From a quality perspective, photographies are sharper and have a higher resolution. The sharpness comes from the fact that your subject is moving in the video, as for the photo the subject ideally stands still. If you plan to use photos from your shoot, take photographs before after or between takes.

There's always a risk that it will get flagged as duplicate content. 

 

It would probably be best to take still shots in addition to your video (2 cameras). That way, your image quality will be better and hopefully distinguishable from the video content.

Yes that's okay, subject to meeting the quality requirements for that still. I often find that any stills from a video are just too blurry...

I think that would be ok if the video is yours and the quality of the still is good enough.
