Your Stage : Imdb video uploads by Ashoka Chowta

you have IMDB pro right?

I do, I've tried typing the URL as well as the necessary descriptions beside it and then I wait a week later and still my video hasn't shown up. Are you on imdb pro?

Hey, Ashoka, the easiest way to get your project on IMDb is to submit through an accredited film festival. As long as you submit to one, you can list the project. It's easiest to do so through http://www.withoutabox.com If you don't go the festival submission route, then you'll have to fill out some forms on IMDb's site: http://www.imdb.com/updates/guide/adding_new_title

Thanks Jai, I'm an actor, will those links you provided work for actors?

Hey Jai, I had a look at that second link, that was about adding titles. I already have the titles of the films uploaded, what I wanted was the videos, eg trailers and snippets of the films.

think you need a pro account

Oh yes, I have an imdb pro account but it's the basic one. You mean I need the one that's one up from that?

Ah, okay, I think I understand what's going on now. You're an actor on the project and would like to submit a video under that project's IMDb title. Unfortunately I'm not sure you're able to do this, even with a pro account. I believe these kinds of updates are limited to the creator of the page, so if you want to get a video up, contact the person responsible for creating the page and ask him/her to post it. UPDATE: I tried going through the steps to upload something and it re-directed me to withoutabox, so it has been confirmed: not just anyone can upload a video (even an actor on the project). It HAS to be the person who submitted the movie information. They can upload videos through withoutabox. Not sure if there's another possible way.

the best and most cost effective solution is to upload your clips onto youtube and then update your imdb account with links. and it works.

Tried that, you'll need to show me the steps on how you did it.

ok. if you goto your imdb, There will be an option for edit page. click it. It will then bring you to the update section.

DId you figure out how to do it?

No, I had already tried what Jemshaid said, tried more than twice. Got nothing.

Okay PM me and let's try walking it through together to see what's going on.

Thanks a lot! It'll have to be Friday afternoon, Adelaide time, that's when I'm free, ok with you?

Hi Stephen, I'm free, for the rest of the year, cos we're on different time zones(I'm a day ahead), give me a time and day in advance please of when you'd be able to help me. Thanks, Ashoka
