How do we submit vids for Introductions? It's not an option on the form.

It's not on the suggestion form but it is on the submission form - log in to Fanworks website, go to dashboard, click "submit or manage works," then choose Vid.

Thank you!

[bironic]

No prob! It confused me too; I definitely submitted like four vids incorrectly.

hi! How do the limits on number of vids submitted work for co-vids within a particular show? Can my co-vidder and I each submit a vid that we both worked on, or does that double us up two much?

[trelkez]

The limit on submissions for any submitted show is

- 2 solo vids per vidder
or
- 3 vids per vidder if at least one is a collab

So if you submit a collab it does count for both of you, but you can technically submit up to three collabs - just make sure to indicate priority when filling out the submission form. You can each submit a different collab and mark it first priority, if you want!

thank you!

An earlier post said that Introductions would be one to two vids per vidder, am I correct in assuming that given the wording of this post, it’s been changed to just one each? Which would make total sense! Just want to make sure I’m submitting correctly. :-)

[trelkez]

You can submit up to two solo vids or three vids including one or more collabs! Just make sure to indicate priority order on the form, as we may only be able to include first priority submissions.

Super cool, thanks! If we submit a collab, is it okay for one person to upload it and the other person to just put "see uploaded vid info" or something?

[trelkez]

If the person who submits it includes both vidder names in the submission info, you should be good to go! The other vidder doesn't need to do anything.

hi again! So Scribe and I are planning to submit a vid for Premieres where the song is in Spanish. For subtitling, we want to provide subtitles with the English translation of the lyrics, but do you also want another subtitle file that has the lyrics in Spanish? I'm not sure how you would use that but let us know if it would be helpful! And if so, how to provide that additional set of subtitles.

[fiercynn]

follow-up question/addendum: if we hard-code English subs into our file, would you still show the soft subs we've submitted? Is it better to just not hard-code so that we don't have to worry about it?
