The technical specifications for your Pitch

To pitch you must upload a short film. The film file will be converted automatically to allow it to play on this site. For this to work you must stick to the following criteria:

• Maximum Pitch File size: 30MB*

• Maximum Pitch length: 2 minutes

• Allowed Pitch File types for upload: .AVI .MOV .FLV .MP4

• Recommended displays are: 854x480, 720x480, 640x480, etc.

• Your Pitch should have an aspect ratio of 16:9 for best online viewing.

• Pitches should not be interlaced.

All applicants must read and abide by the Rules of The Pitch

*Is your Pitch file size too large? If so please see our Resizing Guide

Notes:

• We recommend that the upload version of your Pitch should be no smaller than 480 pixels tall. Anything less than 480 pixels in height will not display to the best of its potential.
• You may try other movie file types but we cannot guarantee these will be uploaded successfully.
• You will be able to view your Pitch once it's uploaded to check it's working.
• Naturally uploading and converting your video may take some time, often several minutes depending on connection speed and the filesize of your video, so once you submit step 3 of your registration, please do give it time to complete this process. You will be alerted as to the success or failure of the upload.
