The following must be met before a video will be accepted. Meeting these requirements doesn't mean something will be accepted, however.
- No NSFW, including suggestive and gore
- No watermarks on videos (exceptions can be made for some things, but never
twitter/socialmedia handles)
- No videos from Twitter, its compression is horrible, and I will know it's
from there
- Video must be a video, it can't just be audio and a static image or
a looping gif/similar
- You must send links to video files OR Streamable (not recommended because
it compresses videos)
- YouTube links are allowed but generally discouraged
- No videos less than 10 seconds long (exceptions are at my discretion)
- No earrape
- No giant captions on videos, ideally no captions at all
- Video must be at minimum 360p
- No references to events by relative time, such as a caption saying
something like "America 7 months ago:", "America now:" (to avoid videos
making no sense in the future)
- Don't compress videos yourself, if it's a good video I'll handle the
compression
- When ripping YouTube videos, you should use
youtube-dl
or another lossless YouTube downloader
- Don't be afraid of .mkv files, if something you have is in .mkv format,
that's ok, don't try converting it because that will degrade the quality
- Do not upload your video to any site you know compresses videos (YouTube,
Streamable, etc)
- If you want a video to have a specific filename, send the file with that
filename, or specify it (filename may or may not be changed, it's at my
discretion)
- If you need to compress a video, use
HandBreak or ffmpeg (if you know how to
use it), and use a high bitrate and preferably encode it as WEBM
- If a file is too big to upload somewhere, try uploading it to
catbox.moe, it has a decent file size
limit
-
If you are going to compress a video to lower its file size, DON'T, just upload it with catbox.moe or a similar service
