2) Select your client whose performance media you want to manage.



3) To manage and view your client's media, go to the "Manage Media," tab.



4) In this tab, you can preview performance media you have already uploaded, and choose which media you'd like to select as your default for submissions. You can also preview, remove, and edit titles and descriptions.

Uploading New Video Clips


1) To add a video, click the "Add Video," button located at the top left hand corner of the page. 



2) You will then be brought to the Performance Media Uploader screen. Click "Browse," to search for your video file. Once you've found it, click the "Upload" button to upload and encode your video.


Note: Performance videos are a one-time charge of $22 USD per minute or fraction thereof. The acceptable file types are 3g2, 3gp, asf, avchd, avi, m2v, mov, mp4, mpeg, mpeg4, mpg, mpg4, mts, webm, wmv, and ogv. 



3) After you've uploaded your file, give the video a title of your choosing, you can either trim/clip the video, or add it as-is to your cart for checkout (jump to step #8).



4) Click the "Trim/Clip Video," button to edit the video file. This will allow you to create clips from selected portions of your video, trim it down, or choose different start and end points. 



5) Let's start by creating a clip from the video. You can adjust start and end times however you may like, and title the clip.

  • To set the new clip's starting point, drag the playhead to the frame you want to begin at. Click "Set Clip Start," when you're done.



  • To set a clip's end point, drag the playhead to the frame you want to end at. Click "Set Clip End," to save your end point.



  • You now have your start and end points for your new clip. If you want to go to a specific frame, enter the number of the frame that you want to jump to and click "Go to." This will jump to a new point in the clip.



  • If you wish to undo all your actions, click the "Reset," arrow button. This will take you back to the beginning of the clip, and erase your start and end points.


  • To create the clip and preview what you've made, click "Create Clip." You can then add a title to it under "Clip Title." 



6) Repeat to create as many clips as you would like. Use this process to break an edited reel into individual scenes, or to trim your clip to a shorter length.


Note: When submitting to Breakdown, you can include multiple clips to create a custom reel for every submission. 


7) After creating your new clips, you can play them back to see how it will look by clicking "Preview." You can also click the check-mark box below to include the full reel in addition to your newly created clips as well. When you add your reel with the clips, the cost of your clips will be reduced to half price ($11 USD per minute or fraction thereof). Once you're done, click "Add to Cart," to proceed to your cart.



8) In your cart you'll see the new clip added, along with the total price. You can preview the clip again, or add more clips to your cart before you checkout. Once you're ready to purchase, click "Proceed to Checkout," and follow the steps from there.
