Uploading Videos

Last updated

Music videos are released in Composer like any other release. A music video is its own release, with its own UPC and ISRC, separate from the audio single or album it goes with.

Create the video release

  1. Go to Releases and choose New release.
  2. For the release type, choose Music video.
  3. Fill in the details as you would for a single: title, artist, label, genre, release date and stores.
  4. On the Tracks tab, upload the video file. A music video release holds exactly one video.
  5. Add artwork. Stores use it as the video's thumbnail.
  6. Fix anything the Review tab lists, then submit. Our team checks it the same way as an audio release.

Video file requirements

  • Format: ProRes 422 HQ in a .mov file (Apple Music asks for ProRes), or H.264 in an .mp4 file (accepted by the other stores).
  • Resolution: at least 1920 × 1080.
  • Frame rate: between 23.976 and 60 fps.
  • Audio: the video needs a stereo audio track.

Composer checks the file as soon as it's uploaded and shows any problem on the track, so you can re-export before submitting.

Lead time

See Video Delivery Lead Times for how far ahead to submit.
