FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS

General Content Guidelines & Best Practices

These tips apply to all submissions and will significantly improve final quality.

You can find a checklist for submitting content to us here:

Cameras & Footage

•Mobile phone footage rarely produces broadcast-quality results, primarily due to digital zoom, grain, and image jitter.
•Whenever possible, use a dedicated video camera with an optical zoom lens.

Lighting

•Good lighting is critical.
•In darker arenas, adjust aperture/f-stop settings to maintain clear visibility.
•For night shoots, run test recordings to confirm proper color balance.
•Be aware that fluorescent and LED lighting affect color differently — filters or camera adjustments may be needed.

Camera Coverage & Angles

•Multiple camera angles help avoid obstructions and missed action.
•A mix of wide shots and close-up, full-frame action keeps viewers engaged.
•Behind-the-chutes or prep-area footage adds strong storytelling value.

Camera Operation

•Live camera operators who follow the action consistently outperform fixed cameras.
•Encourage smooth movement and avoid excessive fast zooms or sudden jumps.
•Fixed cameras still play an important role as backup angles when live operators are blocked or repositioning.

Video Board & Feeds

•The final program output
•Any individual camera feeds
•Clearly label each file so we know its source.

If your event uses a video board producer, ask them to record:

File Delivery & Editing Workflow

•Please send continuous, unedited source files whenever possible.
•Avoid cutting footage into segments.
•We edit using multi-camera timelines, syncing all sources before selecting the best angles.

Audio Quality

•High-quality audio is just as important as video.
•A direct feed from the sound producer's station (MP3 or WAV) is ideal.
•If unavailable, use a standalone audio recorder connected to the producer's final out.

Syncing Tips

•The easier it is to sync audio and video, the better the final result.
•Professional timecode is not required, but a clear sync point is extremely helpful.
•A clapperboard or similar visual/audio sync cue at the start of the event
