NO 4:3 VIDEOS, BLACK BARS OR CREDITS/TITLES

Posted on: Thursday, 25 February, 2010

Please note 3 important requirements when creating a music video for any Genero.tv comp.

Our recommended aspect ratio is 16:9, however you can also use 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. Other aspect ratios like 4:3 are no longer useable in today's media platforms.

Please ensure there are no black bars surrounding your video, our transcoding process will automatically add the appropriate padding at the top and bottom of the video if it is wider than 16:9.

Credits or titles are not permitted on the video you upload. If you have already done so, please upload an updated version without credits or titles. You can use the Description and Other Credits fields to provide any additional info on your video and recognise any additional contributors.

OVERALL WINNER CHOSEN

Posted on: Friday, 27 November, 2009

The winner of the first Genero.tv competition has been chosen. Adam Watson's music video for the Kissy Sell Out song 'Apple Jelly' was selected as the overall winner and he will receive the overall prize of US$4,000. You can watch the winning video here: http://genero.tv/watch-video/1058/

Adam's video was chosen based on the overall quality of the video, the fantastic editing and the suitability for the song. Kissy Sell Out and their management were blown away by the video and it will now be used as the official music video for Apple Jelly.

Thanks to everyone who entered and for the fantasic feedback we've received. We know we've got some things to work on and we'll be working hard to make the next competition bigger and better. We'll release artists and other details as they're confirmed so stay tuned!
