Please Note:
We no longer require specific tech specs for material uploads.
All common video and document file types and sizes are permissible.
The system can transcode most file types so there is no need to match a requested file size and format. This includes video and audio specifications.
We request you upload the best quality file you have available.
Unsure if you file type is acceptable?
Upload it to the system and once the transcode is completed you can check by opening the file and/or playing it back.
If it plays properly for you it will work for the editor as well.
