“Illustrations were always buried under generic tags. CyberStock rewrote 2,000 titles and I landed three featured search placements in a week.”
“Drone footage approvals used to take forever. Now metadata is perfect, rejection rate dropped from 40% to 5%, and buyers actually find my clips.”
“Freelance life means time = money. I keyword a whole catalog before lunch, export CSVs, and hand clients proof that their assets will sell.”
“I'm an animator, not a metadata nerd. This tool translates motion clips into what agencies want to see. Reviewers now rubber-stamp my uploads.”
Checked is good. Written by AI is better.
