TRAILER

In addition to the Video & Audio requirements (Video Codec, Resolution, etc.):

​

  • Max. 6 min, recommended 2.5 mins or less

  • To maximize exposure for your title, we recommend avoiding content that includes nudity, sex, language, drugs, or violence, since some channels will not include trailers with these content rating concerns.

  • If your trailer does not pass our QC, it will be deleted as many channels do not require a trailer, and we can still pitch your title without a trailer or use an excerpt as a trailer in some instances.  If your trailer is deleted and you would like to submit a new trailer to QC, please contact Freddie Ho of Reliance Media Entertainment.
