Preparing your video content for submission.

Preparing Your Video Content for Submission



To ensure your video submission process is as smooth and successful as possible, follow these guidelines carefully:

1. Finalize Your Content


Make sure your video fully represents your project's goals. Review all elements, including visuals and audio, for accuracy and completeness.

2. Check the Format and Size


Our editors have fast internet connections, capable of handling large files, ensuring no project is too big to tackle. We recommend checking the required video format for submission (e.g., MP4, MOV) and preparing your files accordingly. If your video file is large, don’t worry. Our systems are optimized to manage and download substantial file sizes but it will somehow affect the time dedicated to your project.

3. Optimize File Size


While our editors are adept at downloading large files, optimizing your video for submission by compressing it can speed up the initial review process. There are reliable video compression tools available to maintain a balance between quality and file size.

4. Naming and Supporting Documents


Naming your files with relevant project information and include any supporting documents like scripts or storyboards. This helps our team to quickly understand and begin work on your project.

5. Choose Your Storage and Transfer Service


Most clients prefer using their cloud accounts for sending raw assets, which streamlines the submission process. Alternatively, we recommend using Frame.io for its superior download/upload speed compared to traditional services like Dropbox and Google Drive. Please note, Frame.io's cost-to-storage limit ratio may be higher, but its efficiency in file transfer is unparalleled in our experience.

6. Test Your Video


Before submitting, ensure your video plays correctly across different devices to avoid any compatibility issues.

7. Submit Your Video


To transfer your files, kindly select a reliable method. If you're using your own cloud storage or opting for Frame.io, rest assured our editors are well-equipped to begin working on your video with the efficiency and expertise your project deserves.

Following these steps will ensure your video content is ready for a seamless submission process, allowing our team to focus on bringing your vision to life with the highest quality and efficiency.
