Appendix C: Music Video Specifications

Due to the large file size and potentially long upload times of Music Video assets, it is strongly advised that you confirm the technical requirements for a video before you begin the upload process.  Central will identify any specifications that are not met, but only after upload of the video asset is completed.

Never upconvert .mp4 or any lower quality video format to a higher quality format before upload.  You must submit the original high-quality masters, exported to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) or Avid DNxHD 175x, 185x or 220x with 48KHz / 24 bit audio.
