Acceptable Video/Media Formats
Online Video Distribution (OVD)
We provide Online Video Distribution to over 15 of the leading online video portals. To get the best pickup we recommend a few things:
Ensure your video is less than 5 minutes. This focuses your video's message, cuts down on page-load times, and is much easier for the viewer to digest.
That your video is in English, PR Newswire can offer distribution in multiple languages (English subtitles recommended); however, most of our portals are global. English language videos will maximise pick-up.
Photos
Images can make your story come alive. Images can be located in various locations on the MNR page based on your chosen MNR design, all Images should have a title, caption and file name to allow for optimum engagement.
Titles: 100 Characters including spaces
Captions - 250 Characters including spaces
Acceptable File Formats:
We recommend your photos to be 2700 pixels on the longest side and 300 dpi. We also recommend that you supply photo captions with each image which should be a maximum of 250 characters long with spaces.
