Learn how to add a video to your project, meet file and quality requirements, and understand the review process before your project goes live.

How do I add a video to my project?

Once your video is ready:

    • Go to the Gallery section of your existing project — or create a new one
    • Under Project videos, choose Drag video here or browse to upload
    • Decide if you’d like the video to be your project cover. If selected, a 5–10 second preview will autoplay when clients hover over your project in search results

 

What happens after I add video to my project?

Your project will go through a brief review. This process can take up to 5 business days.

While your project is under review:

    • Your project stays live — no need to pause or remove it
    • You can continue selling other approved projects and working with current clients
    • If updates are needed, we’ll email you with next steps. Your project may be hidden from search during this time

 

What are the requirements for videos I add to my project?

Technical specs:

    • Length: Up to 60 seconds
    • File size: Max 100 MB
    • Format: MP4
    • Audio: Optional, but recommended (must be in English)
    • Limit: One video per project

 

Quality guidelines:

Your video should reflect the professionalism of your work. Aim for clear, high-quality footage and audio. Avoid:

    • Low-resolution or blurry visuals
    • Clickbait-style titles or thumbnails
    • Logos that aren’t yours
    • Contact information
    • Slides packed with text
    • Any content (video, audio, images) you don’t own the rights to
