Just thought I’d write a quick post to share that VideoHive has just hit 1,000 files for sale! From our beginnings as a section of FlashDen, and now to a full-fledged marketplace, this number is HUGE. Great job to all of the authors that contribute to VideoHive regularly.
To celebrate this event Envato has decided to grant a surprise gift to the author that submitted the 1,000th accepted file. The authors name is Homing and the file is Floating Orange Blobby Particles. Congratulations Homing and keep the great files coming!
We’re already past the 1,000 file mark and the submissions are growing every day. VideoHive is going strong!
There’s been a lot happening on the marketplaces of late, and today I wanted to touch on a few important issues and get some feedback, from you, the community.
Firstly, for those of you who don’t know me, My name is Cyan and I’m the Envato marketplace manager. That means I’m the person who’s in charge of the day to day running of the marketplaces as a whole with the help of the awesome site managers, reviewers and moderators.
Lately we’ve noticed some brilliant new author apps popping up, and some talk on the forums of files being distributed without author permissions. I want to talk a little about both of these issues. Additionally, I want to tell you about some things you should be doing to promote maximum account security.

I’m Already Exclusive!
If you’ve been exclusive up till now, nothing will change, except in almost every case your rates will immediately jump up. That means not only more cash in your account every month, but also a higher future percentage to aim for. Click here to find out what your new percentage rate is.
I’m Not Exclusive but I Want To Be!
If you’re not already exclusive and wish to be, it’s super super simple! There are no minimum sales needed, so any author can agree to exclusivity immediately! Here’s how:

We have recently made the decision to raise our quality standards. This isn’t going to be a major transition, and will not negatively impact most. It will raise the quality of work on VideoHive and help us continue to improve the marketplace as a whole.
