FILM UPLOAD TUTORIAL
Fri, 16 Feb 2007 16:25
To display your film on The Smalls you will first need to register. Once registered you can upload your film through the 'My Profile' section.
 
Before you upload your film you will need a couple of things:
  1. The Film, compressesed for the web.
  2. A thumbnail image.
  3. A description of the film.
Firstly you will need your movie (obviously), to save you a bit of time when uploading it's recommended to use some form of compression (DivX, Quicktime, etc). Once the film is uploaded it will then be converted into a standard format used by the site.
 
Secondly you will need a thumbnail image, this could be just a still frame from the film, or you could use a poster image. This image will be used on the front page, and when your film is shared, so please make it big enough (224px by 168px).
 
Finally you will need a short description or inspiration statement about the peice. When it comes time to upload the film you'll also need to select some categories, but these should be obvious.

I uploaded my short film last night, but it still isn't showing it on the site and it's been over 13 hours since I did it! Do you know what could have happened?

How long does it take to convert once uploaded? Is it pretty much instant, because my film is showing a message saying "uploaded but not converted"?

I have a qt file in H.264 that is 1280X720 and is 10:31 minutes long. It says that the mazimun request length has been exceeded. Please advise.

After you upload a film can you edit the description of the film?
