Copa Challenge - Largest Online Freestyle Competition

Alright, I got an answer for you.  60 seconds is video length they prefer, but you can go over.  They recommend staying in the 60-90 second range to keep the interest high.  As you can see, some of the longer videos on the website don't have as high of a rating.  I don't think people feel like watching a long video. 

In the end, it's up to you but try to keep it within 60-90 seconds.  Please let me know if there are any other questions, and please submit your stuff as soon as you can so we can start voting for you.

Thanks for the quick answer. So you won't be disqualified if your video is more than 60 seconds? Because 60 sec is quite short to produce a kick-ass video. I don't want to produce a 90 sec video and then after a few months of voting, they say that the rules say 60 seconds. Because I read a week ago that all the videos above 60 sec will be disqualified...

I wondering a thing about the photo part,
photoshop photos, is that okey?
Cause I don't got photoshop, and It wont be fair for those like me who don't got photoshop,
Because photoshop makes the picture look so cool with extra effects etc.

Good question Calle, I'm curious about this too. I don't see absolutely any point in having Photoshopped pictures in the competition.

Can you edit videos also? I don't have Sony Vegas so i don't think it would be fair to those like me who don't got Sony Vegas.

Photoshop should be ok, your resources shouldnt be everyones problem.

Editing makes videos better, so why not allow Photoshop? (my opinion)

[Miran Pirner]

Such a bad argument, IMHO.

You can achieve much much more by editing a picture, than by editing a video.

I don't have an HD camera, maybe they should ban high quality videos too? lol
Nobody is stopping you from getting Vegas and editing your videos.

[Tupac]

No one is stopping you from getting Photoshop either.
It's not my decision, so it doesn't really matter :p

[Miran Pirner]

I already have it, thanks.

He promised me that it's OK to submit videos over 60 seconds.  I wouldn't go over 120-150 seconds though.  I guess it all depends on what you're doing.  If you are doing a commercial or creative type of video with a plot to it, I'm sure 2 minutes wouldn't be a problem.  People will stay zoned in to see what happens.  On the other hand, if you're doing the same type of moves with little creativity, going 3 minutes long won't do you any favors.  I hope that makes some sense.  Either way, you're OK uploading over 60 seconds, but don't go crazy with it.

Editing of videos and pictures is allowed.  From what I can tell though, natural pictures seem to be ranking quite high right now.  Maybe people appreciate the pure shots.  I do see your concern though.

[Miran Pirner]

Can you ask them why does it take a few days for an uploaded video/picture to appear on the actual website? It says 5-6 hours, but in reality it's 3-4 days.
