music video delivery requirements
hi! i am new to making videos, and have received what i believe to be export guidelines that i cannot completely decipher 🙁
can anyone help putting this into layman’s terms? any help would be greatly appreciated.
“ForMat options”
“• APPLE PRO RES 422 (HQ) video file in .MOV container (preferred); or”
“• 8/10-BIT UNCOMPRESSED video file in .MOV container; or”
“• AVID DNxHD video file in .MOV container; or”
“• DIGITAL BETA tape”“asset requireMents”
“• Original/master resolution, frame rate and interlacing cadence ”
“• Cannot be up-converted from compressed media (e.g. H.264, MP4, DV, MPG, WMV) ”
“• Cannot derive from DVD’s, miniDV’s or other consumer-grade masters ”
“• Must have “frame independence” – no frame blending or duplicate frames, often caused by NTSC- PAL or PAL-NTSC conversions, editing 24 fps video in a 30 fps edit timeline, de- interlacing 24P footage containing a telecine cadence, or by mixing frame rates ”
“• No credits, titles and/or chyron (these should be supplied separately in metadata) ”
“• Must contain at least one frame of black at the beginning and end and no more than 1 second.”
“• No watermarks, bugs, DVD logos, promotional intros, release dates, ”
“websites, color bars, title cards, slates or countdowns ”“For Video Files only”
“• Exported from edit timeline or captured directly to this format from the ”
“uncompressed master (cannot do through Firewire)”
“• Audio should be in PCM format, 48.000 kHz, 16-bit and properly tagged in stereo”
“• If shot in 24P, video should arrive in 23.98 or 24 fps progressive (no interlaced frames) ”
“• For reference, typical file sizes for music videos range from about 1.2GB to 10GB” -

Assuming your project was shot in 1080p24 or 1080p30, your export window output summary should look something like this. You might need to install ProRes in order to export to it. Or you could do DNxHD instead of Apple ProRes (HQ), nothing else would be affected.
with fps being the only variable. (if your source is something other than 29.97, your output should match it.)This is assuming your sequence was set-up properly to match footage settings as per their “Asset RequireMents”. Also, you can’t have a bug (ie. mtv logo in the corner), credits, or any of the other elements not allowed.
If you do it right, a 3min music video should be about 4-5 GBs.
