A: A music video is a video shot around a song or piece of music. It can be recorded at a live event (a "concert music video"), it can have non-musical elements (such as a brief "intro" or "extro"), it can have spoken parts, so long as they are not the focus of the piece. Most every music video on a cable music channel qualifies. However, for example, a documentary or film that happens to have songs in it will be rejected by iTunes, even if it's a "making of" a music video or a song.

A: ALL VIDEO CONTENT YOU SUBMIT MUST BE BROADCAST READY.

"Broadcast ready" means the quality of the video is extremely high, with no skips, jumps, out-of-phase audio, scan lines, digital artifacts, snow or anything else that betrays poor production values or errors in transferring. Stylistic choices for artistic purpose will not necessarily cause your music video to be rejected, as long as the video is broadcast ready. You may send any broadcast ready format. The quickest way your order will be processed is if we receive a professional level tape such as:

Beta SP

Digi Beta

DVCAm

You may also send broadcast ready digital files, provided they meet the following spec:

QuickTime

Video: Apple DV25

Audio: Stereo 48Khz sample rate

A: Video DVDs with data files that have been compressed using DVD compression or altered to comply with a DVD codec are NOT considered a broadcast ready format. If your content is submitted in DVD Video format with such compression, it will take longer to process and will incur a 50% surcharge for archiving. Please note that submission of media as digital data files that have been compressed or altered to fit a codec may result in an additional charge based on the required time in our edit bay to output this content to tape first. Please note that we expects all content received for archival and delivery has already passed a Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) stage from its place of origin, is clean and:

and is in stereo

has no superimposed graphics 

has no chyron also known as lower thirds in USA and astons in the UK. In their simplest form, lower thirds can just be text overlying the video. Other common terms include superbars (US) and name straps (UK).

IMPORTANT: A video must be clean and clear of any superimposed graphics, words or chyron. Chyron is the lettering that often accompanies music videos, such as the name of the song, the album it's from, etc. See Example Below!!

In the event that a submission does not pass our QC/QA, we will notify you of the issues and you will be asked to replace your video prior to re-delivery. In the event a re-delivery is needed, it will require a re-submission fee of $75 each re-submission.

A: Once we receive your video, we will process it and either notify you if there is a problem or forward it on to iTunes, where it should appear in their store within six to eight weeks AFTER YOUR DELIVERY IS RECEIVED.
