If your video was rejected with “Content does not meet our minimum quality standards,” it may be because of one of the following issues:

Editing

  • Video has not been properly edited.

  • Video contains partial segments of other video clips, excessive black at the head or tail, or a poorly executed montage.

Here are some examples of video clips with proper editing.

User-added image

This clip captures an action in one continuous slow-motion shot.

We Recommend

  • Be respectful of the action in the clip and make sure your starting and stopping points make sense.

  • Include in your clip a small amount of head or tail, additional footage before and after the main action.

  • Review your edited videoclip before you submit it.



If you don’t understand the reason for the rejection of your images or if you need additional clarification, you can always contact contributor support.
