All FilesAll FilesOnce your application is accepted, you may begin uploading clips for sale. Clips must have all logos removed before submission, for copyright and trademark reasons. All recognizable faces require a model release.
Start by uploading a low-resolution proxy file. Our inspection team will review the proxy and let you know if we want you to upload the full-resolution clip. See the Digital Video Requirements section for proxy file requirements.
If the proxy file is approved you will receive an e-mail with instructions for submitting the full-resolution clip. Your full-resolution files should be in Quicktime format, compressed with PHOTO JPEG (if file is rendered as a progressive scan) or MJPEG-A/MJPEG-B (if interlaced) with 3:1 compression. Compression should be set to no less than 95%, "High", or "Best". Clips should be 5 - 30 seconds in length. See the Digital Video Requirements section for more full-resolution file requirements.
If you have trouble uploading the full-resolution clips you can mail them to us on CD or DVD after your low-resolution proxies are accepted. Please do not send hard drives or VHS tapes. Mail submissions can be sent to:
