5th Annual Video Contest Questions

Postby Bob » Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:57 pm

Great theme, sounds like fun!

One clarification please. Some of the members have Premiere Elements, but do not have Photoshop Elements -- they use Photoshop instead. Does that exclude them from contest 2?

I know that there isn't a huge difference between the two, but the contest is an Elements contest.
So to answer your question Bob, Photoshop Professional is not allowed only the Elements version is accepted.
Now, that being said, you don't have to use Photoshop Elements at all, you can just use Premiere Elements.
Also, you can just use Photoshop Elements and not use Premiere Elements at all too.

Thanks Chuck,

That's what I was anticipating. I do have a Windows XP system image with Photoshop Elements 3 that I could boot from and use if necessary. I don't anticipate needing it though. My biggest needs are inspiration and time.

Good luck to all! Can't wait to see the entries!

Did have a question, what type of stories? Comedy, drama, an event, history, travel? Thanks!

Any type, just needs to tell a story. The better you do at telling a story, the better chance you have at a prize :)

Think of how a good TV commercial can tell a story in a mere 30 seconds!

So as long as it tells a story...got it, thanks. Wasn't sure if it could be silly & lame or it had to heartfelt & poignant. Overthinking again :)

Can we use any music we want? If I used a U2 song would I be in violation of a copyright thing or anything? I never did one of these before....

This is what we have said in the past and will apply again this year.

"You may use copyrighted material at your own risk.
If we (Muvipix.com) are asked to remove an entry due to copyrighted material we will remove the entry and that entry will be disqualified"


So yes you can, but at your own risk of being disqualified. If the video has to be removed then no one can vote on it and it will already be past the deadline so you won't be able to change it. The decision is totally up to you.

I'm so sad but I don't think I will have time to enter again this year.

We'll have to see what April and May brings and see if I can find time last minute.
But I can't wait to see what everyone else does. My best source of inspiration is these contests.
Good luck to all.
Happy Editing,

Beth

As short as it takes you to tell a story, there is no minimum limit only a maximum limit.
As Steve said earlier, advertisers can tell a pretty good story in 30 or 60 seconds sometimes :)

Are you thinking of the 1 second commercial like Miller High Life? :)
