So you want to unleash your coolest videos to us? Sweet deal! After all, unleashing cool videos to UnleashVideo is one of the smartest things you can do with your time and energy.
But first there are some simple but important rules to abide by. We hate rules as much as you do, but they exist to keep UnleashVideo from devolving into chaos and becoming another crappy online video sharing business. So without taking more of your valuable time up here they are:
 |
No duplicating. Meaning no taking videos that already exist on the site or on other video sharing sites. We think peopl that duplicate videos arre losers, because repetition really does suck. So before you unleash a video to UnleashVideo, please conduct a search to see if it already exists here or elsewhere. |
|
Five alive. No, we're not talking about that awesome refreshing soda drink. This is in regards to the length of your video: keep it 5 minutes or less please. Anything longer than that you should either edit it down or upload it to another boring video site. |
|
No sex. Hey we're human too and enjoy this topic, but we want UnleashVideo to serve as a clean environment. This means we will not allow sexually explicit videos on the site. Those are simply 2H4UV (Too Hot For UnleashVideo). |
| |
|
What about partial nudity? We don't mind a little bit of skin but just make sure to rate it 18+. |
|
|
Viloence isn't too cool. Please recall that UnleashVideo is all about entertainment and entertainment should not come at the expense of others. So if your video contains violence, please stick the appropriate filter on it. |
|
18+: For real-world violence including physical attacks; for injuries, gruesome scenes, or explicit language. |
|
UnleashVideo will reject videos which portray illegal acts of violence or videos that show or imply human fatalities however newsworthy such footage may seem in context. |
|
Use the right metadata. Package your videos with cool titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and killer tags to attract viewers. But, please, be accurate and concise, or we may put on a big scowl on and not allow the content on the site. |
| |
|
Catchy titles: A nanme is critical so boring titles = no or very little views, so give your video a title that is relevant within the current media world. |
|
|
Wrong descriptions: Describe the contents of your video in vivid detail, but don't give away the punch line and ruin the ending. |
|
Attractive thumbnails: Pick an image from your video that accurately represents its contents and grabs attention. Just make sure to show something that people will enjoy. |
|
Tag time: Use as many tags as you want to describe your video. That helps viewers find it in a search. |
|
Pick a category. If your video fits more than one category, choose one that applies the most. Still can't decide? Take a coin, assign one category to heads, one channel to tails, then flip it. Later, see a counselor about how you let coins shape your life. |
|
No last names! At UnleashVideo, we respect privacy, and that includes the privacy of the people used in your videos. Please do not use the last names of people in your videos. Even first names can be fictional because in all honesty who the hell will know anyways?! |

So you also want to make cash in our Unleash Cash program? Online videos are really becoming a mainstream media staple! But in order to earn cash for your creations, you've got to follow a few rules (damn). Even the great filmmakers of the world, like Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and Ian Bryce (Spiderman) had to follow silly rules as well to reach the success levels they currently enjoy today. Three important things off the top are you only begin earning cash AFTER your 20,000th view, where your video's first 20,000 views are its initiation period and no cash at all is earned. Secondly only views on our site count towards payable views, so all embed views aren't included in the program. And thirdly any videos that are created through collaboration, we are not responsible for any possible negative outcomes that may occur, and merely provide a basic means to allow creators and editors to earn cash together. Here are some more:
|
|
I want the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If you misrepresent your video in any way - whether with the title, tags or description - we will automatically reject it from the program, regardless of its rank, popularity, and views. |
|
Size Does Matter. We recommend videos that are at least 60 seconds long, but shorter than 5 minutes. Basically, the length of a ride at Disney World. |
|
Site vs. Interface. No, this isn't a movie title like Alien vs. Predator. That's the choice you have for submitting your video to UnleashVideo. You can go through this website - which we recommend or as you may find in the near future other sites that allow you to upload to our site directly. |
|
Originality is the key. If you see another creator's video at UnleashVideo and think you can do better, don't bother unless you put your own spin on it. As we said before, this is a duplicate free site. Please make sure that it's different enough to be considered unique and special in its own way. We're aiming to be a top UGV entertainment site - surprise us with that remarkable and creative mind of yours. Cool video ideas will get you everywhere. |
|
Lawyers ruin our fun. The last thing we want is to become a YouTube ?me too? site and get sued by Viacom. So don't include ANY copyrighted material in your video unless you own all the rights. That includes music, images, and video clips. If you own the rights to the music you're using, please e-mail us at creators(at)UnleashVideo(dot)com, and we'll make sure your video gets approved. |
|
Quality (times) 3. We live in a world where video technology is getting better, while screens are getting bigger (like that 50? plasma your co-worker just got) and smaller (like the iPhone you want to win in our cool contest). So please make sure your video looks like money, or we may unfortunately reject it. Low technical quality is hard on the eyes and honestly aren't there already enough crappy videos out there as it is?! |
|
URLs That Make Us Hurl. Don't you hate it when you're watching a video, and you see a silly website URL fash across the screen and distract you from the video itself? What a coincidence, we hate them, too! So please don't even think of submitting a video to our program that promotes another website, if you have this type of thing in your video please erase it first before unleashing it to us. |
|
Save the slide shows for slide.com (although we are fans) and other types of websites. We're a video site, so if you're a slick photographer, show us what you can do with video production.Those slideshows and compilations of pictures are just not for our site and are better suited towards the above site. |
