SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO GET YOU READY! 1. *Don't Register until you are ready to upload your video! 2. Make sure you use good lighting (natural, direct and indirect)! 3. We recommend you use a standard video format for uploading like .MOV (Mac/QuickTime) or .AVI (Windows) for best video and audio quality. .MPEG, .MPG, .MPG3 and .MP4 will work too. 4. Target upload size for best audio and picture for a one-minute video is about 16 to 20 Megabytes (MB) for Mac and 20 to 30 Megabytes for Windows; Smaller file sizes are fine too, just make your minute count! HD quality video can be obtained for a 1 minute video under 50 MB, so upload the highest quality possible. Output your video to (4:3 format, 480 x 360) 480 pixels wide by 360 pixels high to eliminate distortion, unused window space, etc., for maximum effect. Output your Audio Frequency to digital quality - 44 kHz. *Files larger than 50MB will be rejected. **Files longer than 1 minute will automatically be edited to one minute. 5. You can also upload a photo for your thumbnail image in the Shredder Gallery..a promo photo opp! Simply replace your default profile pic (video screen capture) with a customized photo. Deck it our however you see fit (tastefully!) to attract attention to your shred video. Your Thumbnail photo will automatically be created for you, and will be accessable upon successful registration. *NOTE: Create your profile photo to be 450 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. This is what users will see when clicking on your profile photo. If you create your photo to be smaller or larger than this size it will automatically be re-sized to fit these dimensions. To eliminate distortion, set your photo creation size to 450 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. 6. Encourage your friends, family, acquaintances to vote for your video. Shortly after you submit your video, you will be sent a URL showing where your video will appear. Send this URL and banner to your contacts and let them in on the contest! Plus if they vote, they can win a free swag pack. Videos are previewed and approved for basic content by contest administration. 7. A combination of how many times your entry is rated by the fans, your average score, along with the quality and undeniable devastation in your performance and skills is key to getting your video seen by our panel of world-class musicians and Dean Artist Relations. Good Luck! |
