Do I have to register to upload videos?
In order to upload videos to iCarly.com, you gotta have an iCarly user name. You also have to enter your parent's email address so we can let them know you've uploaded a video. Here's how it works: You create an account on iCarly. When you upload video, we'll ask you for your parent's email address. Then, we'll send your parent an email with a link to watch your video, and your parent can choose "accept" or "reject." Only AFTER your parent approves your video can we even watch it. If we love it, we might show it on iCarly.com or include it in our web show.
How many videos can I upload to iCarly.com?
You can upload one video at a time, but you can come back (and upload more videos) as often as you like! Just please don't submit the same video twice.
And remember, your parent and we have to approve each video before they go on iCarly.com or on our web show. So don't waste your time uploading stuff you know will never be approved by your parents and us! Also: DON'T give us your personal information in your video (last name, street address, school, phone numbers, email), don't wear clothes with brand logos, don't have music playing in background, don't use bad language, and don't do anything dangerous!!!
How long can my video be?
We suggest that you keep your video under 5 minutes. The longer your video is, the harder it is for the computer to compress it, and the worse it will look on iCarly. Anyway, who wants to watch a long video online? Keep it under 5 -- for sure!
What format does my video have to be in?
If you are uploading video online, your video has to be in one of the following formats: .3gp, .3g2, .asf, .avi, .dv, .flv, .m4v, .mov, .mpg, .mpg2, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpeg4, .mp4, .qt, .wmv, .asf, .mp3, .wav, or .wma.
Which video format will look best?
ypically any video shot on DV or mini-DV will look better than video shot on a phone or a digital camera.
How long does it take to upload video?
The length of time it takes to upload a video depends on your computer's connection speed and the size of your video. With a high-speed Internet connection, videos generally take between 1 and 5 minutes to upload (per megabyte). But the speed is different for every computer, depending on connection speed -- so this is just a guess.
Stand close to the camera, but not so close that we can see your nose hairs, just close enough that we can see your face.
Say your first name and your age, then step back and do your thing!
Remember, the closer you are to the camera, the better we'll hear your voice!
Make sure your clothes don't have logos or bad words on them.
Don't wear clothes with thin stripes.
Don't say or do anything bad (nothing mean, no bad words).
Don't say or show full names, school names, cities, street names, phone numbers, or email addresses in your video.
Try to keep your video shorter than 5 minutes.
Watch your video before you send it to us! Make sure it looks and sounds good. If it doesn't, try again and make it better.
Don't do anything dangerous. We don't want you to get hurt!
