VideoHive: Stock Footage Upload Instructions

1. Save your main File(s):
   Begin by saving a high-resolution version of your footage. We only accept footage in the Quicktime MOV format.
2. Grab any appropriate model or location releases:If you have included footage of a recognizable private property or a human face or identifiable feature you will need a signed model or location release. You should scan in the release in PDF or JPG format.
3. Zip up your files:
   We require your main file and all assets that make up your main file to be contained within a ZIP folder.
Your main file must not exceed 500MB in total size after it’s been compressed. Files over 500MB will not be accepted.
4. Create your preview video:
   Create a smaller FLV version of your video at either 640×360, 960×540 or 720×480 and overlay the matching VideoHive watermark over your video. This will help prevent copyright breach and unauthorized use of your file. The watermark should be used as is. Do not alter it in any way, shape, form or color.
5. Create a preview image:
   Make a preview image for your file. This image needs to be 590×300, and should a JPEG. This is a great place to make a first impression. Find the perfect place in your video and take a screen shot. You could also use this area to present the video, or show whats included.
6. Create a JPEG thumbnail:
   Finally create a 80px x 80px JPG or PNG thumbnail for your file. It’s best if your thumbnail is a screenshot of your video in some way.
7. Prepare your model releases:
   If you only have one model release for your submission you can upload it directly to the release upload field. But if your file requires more than one release, please include all of the necessary releases within a ZIP folder and upload that one zip file into the release upload field.
8. Upload your files to VideoHive!
