You will be asked to send the high res version of your video (Full HD MOV) along with sending a signed physical copy of
this authorization agreement. You will also be asked to send the CBFC certificate (if you have one).
What if I do not have a CBFC certificate? Can I still send my video?keyboard_arrow_down
Yes, you can still send your video as long as you fulfill the high res video and agreement’s requirements. But you will have to apply for a CBFC certificate and send it to us a little later, when you obtain it.
Can I email a soft/scanned copy of the license agreement instead of sending a physical copy?keyboard_arrow_down
No, you will have to send the original hard copy only through standard mail/speedpost/courier to the address mentioned in the selection email. Scanned/soft copies will not work for us.
Can I send the video through wetransfer/google drive/dropbox?keyboard_arrow_down
Yes, you can send the video file by uploading it on Google Drive (only) and you can email the link to the email ID from which you received the selection mail. Once we receive your agreement, we will download the video file from the link you shared.
If I send you a link to my youtube video can you download it from there?keyboard_arrow_down
