Minor Changes and Improvements:
- Vendor's prices for Add-ons are now visible in a tool tip on the vendor's profile.
- We've added 2 new dispute reasons unique to AI Clips so our team can better assist customers in troubleshooting these orders.
- A zip folder will always be created when downloading multiple video files from Pixlmob.
New vendor data:
Vendor's profiles now display 2 new data points to help customers select a vendor: - Member Since:This shows the date the vendor joined Pixlmob so customers can easily see how long a vendor has been in business in this marketplace.
- Number of Completed Orders:We are now displaying the total number of orders the vendor has delivered that have been approved and accepted by customers (which will have the status of Completed) to give insight on the volume of work a vendor has successfully accomplished as well as context for the total number of reviews he's received.
Clearer pricing for add-ons:
Vendors configure their pricing for all services as well as add-ons. If a vendor chooses to offer an add-on for no additional cost, the add-on will now display to customers as $0 in the order form instead of included.
The customer still needs to select this add-on and provide any relevant instructions or sources for it and it is not automatically included with the service if it is not selected. Displaying the dispute reason:
When a customer or vendor disputes a project, the reason for the dispute selected from the drop down menu will now be visible to all parties in the Activity Feed of the project. Any details or notes added by the disputing party will continue to be private and visible only to Pixlmob admin. 
Displaying the decline reason:
When a vendor declines a project, he will now be required to select a reason he is declining the project. - The reason the vendor selects, which could involve his remaining time in his work day or the scope of the project, will be visible in the Activity Feed of the project to customers, vendors, and Pixlmob Admin.
- Any details or notes added by the vendor as to why he chose to decline the project will be visible only to Pixlmob admin.
Clearer messaging around Stripe Requirements for vendors:
When a vendor completes his Pixlmob profile and successfully connects with Stripe, he will see a message displayed in Pixlmob that says"Setup complete; more info may be required later."AI Clips can now be rendered and delivered in 1080p!
- Upscale all AI Clips in your order from 720p to 1080p for higher resolution. Pricing will decrease as you order more clips in a project.
- The cost to upgrade your AI Clips to 1080p is automatically waived if you have a monthly recurring balance auto-reload of $250 or more (USD).
- You can also create an additional option of your AI Clip by adding an extra camera move for your image. Pricing will decrease as you order more clips in a project.

We also added a clarifying disclaimer to the order form so customers confirm they own or have license to the copyright of the media they're using. You can learn more about this here.
Improved ordering workflow for AI Clips
- It is easier than ever to try out all new AI Clips!
- Images submitted for AI Clips are now automatically resized to the correct dimensions needed to generate an amazing AI Clip.
- Try it out for yourself. Complete this form to get a FREEAI Clip!
Vendors can now add additional files to an order after it has been delivered.
- This solves an issue that occurs when a vendor delivers an order but fails to successfully upload all deliverables to an order.
- When additional files are added after the initial delivery, those new files will be synced to a new sub-folder within the customer's destination folder when Pixlmob Hosting is enabled.
Vendors can easily upload revised files and match them to the original.
- Instead of uploading each revised file individually, vendors can now upload them in bulk and then match the new upload to the original so both versions can easily be compared by the customer.

Also included in this release are additional configurations within the order process. Customers can now enable Pixlmob Hosting without utilizing one of our integrations in order to take advantage of our robust Revision Ticket workflow and to order AI Clips within a project.
We're thrilled to introduce a completely revolutionized way to Request Revisions for your delivered projects as well as clearer messaging between customers and vendors within projects!
Revisions
: Revision Tickets now appear on a new tab, separate from messages, to provide a better way to manage revisions and communication with vendors.
Users who enable Pixlmob hosting (delivered files uploaded to Pixlmob) can now enjoy a robust ticketing flow to easily request and organize revisions.
Add a revision ticket to individual images, by selecting multiple images, or to the whole service and easily add reference attachments to your tickets.
Select a category for each ticket you create.
Vendors can respond to tickets with clarifying questions and can easily resolve tickets when the revisions are complete.
To make revision tickets easier for customers and vendors to track, we've separated tickets from the messages exchanged between customers and vendors so Revisions now appears as a new tab within the service.
Messages:
Comments, questions, and replies are now easier than ever to track and send and are displayed as a dialogue between vendors and customers.
Revision tickets no longer appear in the thread of messages.
We've also consolidated emails and in-app notifications to send a roll-up every 30 minutes for tickets and messages.
Order Organization
: Vendors can now enjoy easier organization and quicker access to their orders with 4 new tabs on their Orders page: Most recent: Orders organized from newest to oldest.
Awaiting Review: Orders that are delivered and waiting on the customer to review.
Unread Messages: Orders with unread messages from the customer or Pixlmob admin.
Unresolved Tickets: Orders with open Revision Tickets.
We're confident these new updates will enable vendors and customers to communicate easier and clearly track and resolve revision tickets.
We've added additional infrastructure to support larger file sizes, especially for videos, as well as enabled videos to automatically sync to the customer's provided destination with either integration with Drive or Dropbox is used.
Today's release includes 2 improvements to current features:
- The number of deliverablesfor video services is now corrected to reflect orders where the customer orders more than 1 version of a video (i.e. horizontal and vertical or branded and unbranded).
- Team foldersare now supported in Dropbox for users who utilize team accounts in Dropbox. Enabling the top level folder as the root folder will grant permissions to all nested folders within it, including team folders.
Note
: Users who have enabled the Dropbox integration and have not yet set this root folder will be prompted to re-login to the integration and re-allow Pixlmob access to their Dropbox account again to continue using the Dropbox integration. We've released several minor improvements and bug fixes to address an issue impacting some users when accessing their files within Pixlmob:
- If the vendor's upload of finished files to Pixlmob failed or was otherwise stopped, the service could still be marked as delivered, even though some files did not upload successfully. We corrected this issue and now, an order cannot be marked as delivered (manually or automatically) until the upload is complete.
- Vendors can upload files as large as 1 GB to Pixlmob. In the coming 2 weeks, we will include additional file types that can also be supported, such as DNG.
- We temporarily lifted the restriction preventing users from sending messages containing URLs.
- From the Actions menu in a project, customers can revert to the old system or switch back to the new system as needed to quickly avoid workflow potential disruptions.
- When a customer requests revisions, vendors will see a summary of those requests as well as the total number to be resolved before the Submit Edits button will be enabled to deliver the revised filed.
- Customers can download videos from Pixlmob.
- The total count of uploaded files compared to the total count of ordered files is now displayed to both customers and vendors on the services details page (i.e. 10/12 files uploaded).
- To improve an experience for those who use automations with their delivery platform, files will go directly in the root folder designated by the customer when automatically synced. All subsequent exports, including revisions, will be placed in a timestamped child folder within that designated finished files folder.
- We fixed a bug to improve large numbers of files that need to be synced.
- We clarified the order form to more simply show where customers can designate the source folder and where they can designate a finished files folder. Both of these can still be accomplished by providing link or can utilize our new integrations with Drive and Dropbox.
We value that our customers and vendors depend on predictability and reliability from our platform for their daily workflows and we are committed to ensuring a seamless, simple, and stress-free process for all of our users.
Thank you for your patience and trust as we continue to transform editing outsourcing for real estate media professionals!
