Distribution

We’ll work to get your music videos on multiple music video platforms, making them available to a wide audience. This involves everything from encoding and formatting the video files, to working with the distribution platforms to ensure that the videos are properly uploaded and tagged with relevant metadata.

Once your music videos are live, we may also provide marketing and promotion support to help you reach a wider audience

HD Video

HD video specs:

Compression Type: H.264
File Format: .mp4
Dimensions: 1920×1080.
Note: 16:9 and 4:3 are preferred aspect ratios. Providing alternate aspect ratios risks letterboxing, scaling and stretching of content to fit target aspect rations.
Frame Rate: Minimum 29.97 fps (preferred) or higher.
Bit Rate: We recommend that you restrict your video bitrate to a minimum of 24mb/s. This will help you cut down on file size, lengthy encoding and exporting and file transfer times. Bit Rate should not exceed 50mb/s.
File must be de-Interlaced (Please, no interlacing)
What is interlacing?
Multi-pass encoding is recommended, but not required.
Please export all encodes using Compressor or QuickTime. We cannot support editing program artifacts such as “edit lists” or “zero offsets” embedded in the files.
Do not send anamorphic content. All content display and pixel aspect ratios should be the same.
Do not include front or end slates (displaying metadata), title or end cards, bars and tones, etc.
