MyKeyworder vs Rushlot for stock video
MyKeyworder finds keywords from similar images. Rushlot prepares and uploads stock footage. Here is what each one does, from its own pages, with the date we read them.
At a glance
| MyKeyworder | Rushlot | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A web tool: you search a term, pick similar images, and it collects their keywords. It also offers AI image recognition, a Lightroom plugin and WordPress plugins, and says it is funded by donations. [1][2] | A Mac app for stock footage. It checks each clip, drafts the metadata from your own title, lets you review it, then uploads to your own accounts on four marketplaces. |
| Video | Not mentioned on its home, Updates or Lightroom pages. [1][3][2] | Video only. Each clip is checked against each marketplace’s specs (frame rate, resolution, duration, codec) and repaired on a copy, never the original: audio removed, HEVC re-encoded to H.264. |
| Photos | Yes: its keyword search and its image recognition work from images. [1] | No. Footage only: no photos, vectors or illustrations. |
| Uploads to agencies | None. Its Shutterstock Optimizer (January 2019) counts the keywords in a Shutterstock portfolio. [3] | Four: Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Pond5 and Getty Images, to your own accounts. SFTP for Adobe Stock (qualified accounts), FTPS for Shutterstock and Pond5, Getty’s own web uploader in your browser. |
| Metadata in the file | The Lightroom plugin saves keywords to the photo (“Save keywords to photo”). Its pages do not mention CSV or XMP. [2] | Writes the title and keywords into the video file as XMP, right before upload. Adobe Stock and Pond5 read it. Shutterstock and Getty do not, so Rushlot fills their CSV import as well. Measured on a real account, 2026-09-07, 2026-09-08, 2026-09-11 |
| Runs on | The web; a plugin for Lightroom 5, 6 and Classic CC on Mac and PC (version 1.31); WordPress plugins; an API. [1][2] | Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Windows (x64) comes after the Mac version. |
| Price | No published price: free, funded by donations (PayPal or Bitcoin). The free Lightroom plugin exports 10 keywords per image; a donation of US$10 or more lifts the limit. Image-recognition credits are bought after signing in, so we did not see their price. [4][2] | 20 clips free, no card. Then 19 € a month or 159 € a year, for 150 clips a month. No commission on your sales. |
| Interface languages | 21, including Thai, Korean, Japanese and Chinese (added 8 February 2020). [1][3] | App in English and French. Every value it writes for a marketplace is in English. |
| AI | Not named: “trained models to identify the contents of images”. [1] | A cloud model drafts the metadata from your title and a few small frames; the clip itself is not sent. Latin species names are checked against the WoRMS register first. |
| Latest dated update | 14 June 2020, the newest of the 8 entries on its Updates page. [3] | New: the download opens with the beta. Until then there is a waiting list. |
