How it works
From upload to worldwide release in three steps.
1
Submit your video
Upload your music video, cover art and metadata through the dashboard, complete the checklist and pay the one-time or annual fee.
2

Our moderation team checks the video against platform technical and content guidelines, registers it for Content ID and prepares the DDEX delivery.

Goes live worldwide
The video ships to every selected platform, typically live within three weeks, and starts collecting royalties tracked in your dashboard.
Specification
Before you submit.
Read the four steps in full. Following them is the fastest route to some of the most important video platforms in the world.
Step 1Ensure your video is original
We can only accept original video content. Your video cannot contain third-party content that you do not own.
- Must contain 100% original material, audio and visual.
- Must be professionally produced or have production quality.
- Only officially produced music videos are accepted. Album art, track and most lyric videos are not accepted by all partners. Lyric videos with lyrics stylised into a produced video are accepted; karaoke, static text over graphics or stock elements, or lyrics on the lower third are rejected.
- Cannot contain excessive or full frontal nudity, explicit drug use or graphic violence.
- Cannot contain the release cover artwork.
- Cannot exceed 10 minutes.
Do not include: URLs, hashtags, social handles, dates, shout-outs or other promotional text; burnt-in logos in the corners; front or ending slates, title or end cards; MTV-style credits; still images or blank screens. End credits cannot be longer than 3 seconds in total.
Step 2Encode to specification
The higher the quality of your submission, the higher the quality of the encode delivered to the partners. A video that misses the minimum spec is held until it is corrected.
| Audio | Video |
|---|---|
| Format: AAC | Compression: ProRes preferred for HD, H.264 also acceptable |
| Channels: stereo | File format: .mov (ProRes) or .mp4 (H.264) |
| Sample rate: 44.1 kHz for HD, 48 kHz for 4K | Dimensions: 1920 × 1080 for HD, 3840 × 2160 or 4096 × 2160 for 4K |
| Bit rate: 320 kbps CBR | Frame rate: native, no less than 23.98 fps |
| Bit rate: at least 150 Mb/s for HD ProRes (50 Mb/s H.264), at least 400 Mb/s for 4K (250 Mb/s H.264) |
De-interlaced, multi-pass encoding, no frame re-ordering, no slates or cards. Export with Compressor or QuickTime. Expect a large file.
Step 3Prepare the file name and image assets
File naming: Artistname_VideoTitle_Version.mov, for example LittleRed_Maryhadalittlelamb_Clean.mov. No spaces or special characters, English letters and numbers only.
Artist PR photo: at least 2400 × 2400 px at 72 dpi, centred with space from the edges, not a logo or graphic. VEVO uses this for your artist profile on all VEVO platforms.
Artist banner: 2560 × 1440 px or 2560 × 423 px for a new YouTube VEVO channel, with the art centred.
Step 4Upload and deliver
Upload the file to WeTransfer (under 2 GB) or share a Dropbox or Google Drive link (over 2 GB), then submit the video from the dashboard with the link. Links can also be sent to support@interspacemusic.com.
Submit at least three weeks before your go-live date. VEVO artist photos, banners and links can be updated later with a ticket. There is no per-user VEVO login. Videos already released on another YouTube channel are not sent to VEVO.
Important. Submit videos at least three weeks before the go-live date. Only officially produced music videos are accepted, and a video that has already been released on another YouTube channel will not be sent to VEVO.
Questions
Video questions.
Can I distribute music videos with InterSpace?
Yes. InterSpace Distribution supports full music video distribution to YouTube Music, VEVO, Apple Music TV, Tidal and other video-enabled platforms with proper video asset registration and royalty tracking.
Do I need a VEVO channel already?
No. VEVO distribution and channel creation are handled as part of delivery for eligible artists. Profile photos, banners and links are updated by ticket.
How long does a video take to go live?
Typically about three weeks from submission, which is why we ask for three weeks of lead time before your go-live date.
Does the audio need to be distributed with InterSpace too?
The video is registered against the sound recording, so distributing the audio with InterSpace makes Content ID and royalty matching straightforward. Contact us if the audio is elsewhere.
