Find answers to common questions about SpeedData Pro, including multi-platform metadata generation, batch processing, editorial tools, keyword validation, CSV exports and contributor support.
SpeedData Pro is a contributor-focused platform designed specifically to help stock photographers, videographers and mixed-media contributors generate, validate and export high-quality metadata for multiple stock agencies from a single upload.
SpeedData Pro currently supports Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Pond5 and Getty/iStock. Support for additional stock agencies is already in development.
A single generation uses one credit, regardless of how many supported stock agencies are selected.
Yes. SpeedData Pro can generate agency-specific metadata for multiple supported stock agencies from a single upload and a single credit spend.
Yes. SpeedData Pro currently supports batch processing of up to 25 media files per batch, including mixed-media batches with up to 10 videos.
No. Different stock agencies have different requirements, formatting preferences and metadata structures. SpeedData Pro adapts content for each supported platform automatically.
User Context allows contributors to add verified information that AI cannot reliably determine from the image or video alone. This information is prioritised and incorporated into the generated metadata where appropriate. User Context is particularly useful for wildlife, nature, travel and specialist subjects.
Yes. SpeedData Pro generates agency-specific editorial captions and descriptions that follow the formatting requirements of supported platforms.
Editorial locations can be selected from a database containing thousands of verified locations. This helps reduce spelling mistakes, formatting issues and manual entry errors.
You can submit a new location. Locations are reviewed, standardised and added to the database for future contributors where appropriate.
Creative Content Screening helps identify images or videos that may contain people, property, trademarks or other elements that could affect commercial licensing. The feature can help identify images or videos that may be better suited for editorial submission, and the option is given to switch to editorial before results are finalised.
Editorial Rescue is designed to identify and recover images or videos containing missed editorial content that would otherwise be rejected by stock agencies. If you process a batch as commercial content and SpeedData detects people, property, trademarks or other elements that may require editorial treatment, Editorial Rescue allows you to add location and date information after processing without having to start the generation again.
Yes. SpeedData Pro generates platform-specific keyword sets, ranks them in order of importance and automatically applies the correct keyword totals for supported agencies.
Yes. Keyword validation includes relevance checks, duplication checks and platform-specific formatting validation to help reduce keyword spam and improve metadata quality.
Yes. SpeedData Pro automatically selects appropriate categories from the official Adobe Stock and Shutterstock category lists and includes them in exported CSV files.
SpeedData Pro generates platform-ready CSV exports for supported agencies using the correct field structure and formatting requirements.
Yes. Optional technical screening can identify potential issues relating to focus, exposure, contrast and content quality before submission.
Yes. Optional validation and screening tools can be disabled if you prefer faster processing and already have established quality-control workflows.
If a generation fails and you are charged, send us the AI Request ID and we will investigate and refund the credit where appropriate.
