You already know the basics. You've submitted clips, filled in keyword fields, wrestled with titles. This course is for what comes next. Metadata for Stock Footage: Expert Mode is a field manual for stock footage contributors who want to stop guessing and build a system that actually converts - one that survives platform updates, algorithm shifts, and the growing pressure of AI-assisted competition. What you'll find inside:
  • The W5MEC method - an 8-lens framework (Who, What, When, Where, Why, Movements, Emotions, Colors) that turns every clip into a precision-targeted commercial asset
  • How to think like a buyer, not a creator - and why that shift changes everything about the keywords you write
  • Platform-by-platform specs for Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Pond5, Getty/iStock, Alamy, and more - with the hidden traps each one won't tell you about
  • The Sacred Scrolls system: how to build and maintain a metadata archive that protects your work and scales with your portfolio
  • 5 detailed case studies and 2 anti-case studies showing real metadata built from scratch, with full reasoning
  • How to use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) as metadata assistants - with a working prompt built around W5MEC
  • The four most common metadata sins, why they're so persistent, and exactly how to fix them
This is not a beginner's guide. There are no top 10 keyword tips and no platform screenshots explaining where to click. This is the thinking behind good metadata - the mental framework that works regardless of which algorithm update lands next. Written by Gianfranco Grenar, stock footage contributor with 16,000+ clips across major marketplaces and 15+ years of hands-on curation experience. Learn the principles. Adapt to anything.
