I need support and suggestions regarding stock video.

Hi guys, I am in the process of uploading 8 bit videos. I have uploaded a few videos.
2 out of 8 videos were approved and I manually got the flicker free scrolling images. I also fixed the necessary areas and did some color grading. It was all similar concepts in the same place.
Do you think I should do color grading before uploading? Do buyers want the videos raw and unprocessed or do they have clear, vibrant and beautiful colors?

Read the Stock Video submission requirements.

Editing and post-production 

Do: Process your video subtly — clean color footage that is in focus sells well. 

Do: Adjust levels, curves, or brightness/contrast to ensure the best tonal range.

I suspect buyers want videos that are ready to use "out of the box," as many buyers might not have a have a clue how to edit raw videos.

Thank you very much. I actually agree with you, even if they know how to edit, editing video seems a bit more complicated than photography because there is no data for people and sometimes it can be challenging to get video color, especially cinematic colors.  I think it would be best to proceed without exaggerating the coloring. I'm thinking of going over 30 frames. I think that's reasonable too?
