FAQ:
Q: How do I upload videos?
A: Scroll about half way down the page where you see the video area and then click the 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed YouTube'. Here's a screenshot of it:



Competition begins now.

Looking forward to that, expect me to upload a lot of content. I just hope my job doesn't hinders me.

Good luck to everyone.

Um I dont think it's possible to record 2 million seconds. You'd have to record for 17 hours a day to get that.
Edit: I dont think a million seconds would be easy for anyone to get either... Most of us have school about a third of the day and we sleep for another third

earthwarrior : That's a total, not individual. And as a reference, in the past 10 months, nearly 2 million seconds worth of videos have been uploaded to the vizzed account. Now since users have no limit on video size and since they have a potential of earning money from uploading videos, I think it's very possible that we could hit 2 million seconds worth of videos within a month.

Look at it this way. If 100 users competed and the average user uploaded 7 hours worth of videos, that'd be 2,520,000 seconds.

Ok . Time to win my first rgr competition!
Lets hit 2 million seconds everyone!

I have some old Mario Kart 64 videos uploaded to my YouTube Channel. Am I allowed to submit those?

thing1 : They should be exclusive to the Vizzed YouTube account. Glad you asked.

Davideo7 : Well, drats. Looks like it's back to the drawing board for me. I think I will actually participate in this one though. 
And I was about to ask you how to see who was winning, but I just noticed the link. Good to know. 

Davideo7 : Saddened by the limit or else i would be pumping out like 5 or 6 hour long videos Time to get cracking!

mourinhosgum : I'll think about adjusting the limit. I just wasn't sure if anyone would actually watch a 5 or 6 hour long video but maybe I could consider allowing someone to do a few parts that are 2 hours long each.

  What does "Users with the most unique screenshot character combo" mean? If I uploaded a video (and at this time, I'm sure it's pending), will I see my points go up soon, or is there a specific criteria to score points?

So, I plan on going to the library tomorrow to make videos. How do I actually upload them? I have never been able to figure that out. 

Also, question about this rule: " The video should be exclusive to the Vizzed account (cannot be on another account) " 
After the competition is over, am I free to upload them to my own channel, or no, since the competition would be over at the time that I am mentioning?

Davideo7 : About the rule of keeping a minimum rating of 3 in order to qualify... What if people start downvoting all competing submissions in order to DQ them? Considering there's a money prize, I'd think this is something to be concerned about, people could ask for friends to give them positive ratings while downvoting others, while doing the same themselves.

This sounds like a very fun competition. Wonder who won't be sleeping for the next 30 days.

Fireproof : Probably not me. I saw $225 and I'm like, "Ooh, Christmas money for my wife!" Haha.

mvhupsel : Agreed. People could easily sabotage others in this competition if videos have to maintain a minimum rating. It literally turns into a war of whoever knows the most people wins.

Also, might want to adjust how long it can take for videos to show up. I've been uploading videos lately that can sometimes take up to three days before getting credit -- even after it has at least one view on it on the first day.

pray75 : The page was actually copied from the video game character competition, I simply forgot to replace that piece of text lol.

mvhupsel : It's actually easy for the staff to track this sort of stuff. If a user notices that their videos are getting down rated then we simply bring up a list of all the users who have down rated videos for a specific user and then we take action.

sonikku : Not sure what can be done about that but I'll look into it.

thing1 : It's pretty simple but I'll take a screenshot so you can see where to go.

Image upload: 750x177 totaling 47 KB's.

Could someone send me a PM telling me how can I post videos on the Vizzed account?

Edit: Ninja'd D=

Seishiro Leonhart : I guess your the 2nd person wondering. Any ideas on how I could make it more obvious without making it too obvious?

Youtube videos? Guess I'll have to demote myself from 2nd most videos uploaded D:. But, anyways... IT'S ON!!!
