Video Specs:

Videos must be submitted as mp4 file and must be compressed under 500 MB in size. You can use imovie or another video software to assist you in compressing your video. Some tips are below, but if you need further assistance please contact us.

You can easily video from your ipad, computer, or laptop that will transfer very well.

Recommended Media Format:

Because it is best to upload a video in its original format, the recording settings should match the recommended format and resolution. This way the digital file created when you record will meet the suggested specifications without any additional effort or conversion on your part.

Bitrate: To ensure your video meets the file size requirements, we recommend a video bitrate of 256Kbps. If using higher bitrate settings be aware that this will result in a larger file which may exceed the file size requirement or be more difficult to upload.

Resolution: To achieve the target file size, be sure to set the proper resolution before you start recording. Commonly used lower resolutions like "320 x 240" and "640 x 480" will yield the best results. Higher resolutions and "HD quality" will produce file sizes too large to be conveniently uploaded and should be avoided.

iMovie:  You may need to use iMovie to reduce the size of your video file for uploading. The recommended file size is 200 MB to 300 MB. Convert your video into a file format that meets the requirements of the system. The link to download free of charge.
