Following are the guidelines and specifications for the media files you'll be importing into the Producer platform. Instructions and tutorials on how to submit files into Producer will be available to you, and the StageClip client success team will be available to assist you as well.

• Pre-Roll/Close Video for Individual Clips (Optional)
  • Specifications:MP4, H.264, 1920 x 1080, 5Mbps
  • Pre-Roll/Close Video is an optional video used for the open and/or close of the individual recognition clips. These must be silent assets as the music choice plays over the entire clip.
  • We recommend pre-roll of approximately 10-15 seconds and closing video of approximately 5 seconds
  • You do not need to add music to your pre-roll/close video. This will be done in the Producer platform and can be supplied by StageClip, or you can use your own. Please be sure that any music you provide is not restricted by copyright.
