Quality Requirements

You do not need to use professional equipment, but the video does need to meet a certain standard of quality. Here are some tips to make your video the best it can be.

• Shoot horizontally to meet a 16:9 (widescreen) video format
• Make sure video is 1920 x 1080 pixels (HD)
• Some iPhones shoot in 4K, which creates higher-quality footage if you are choosing to shoot with a smartphone:
  • Go to Settings
  • Scroll to Camera
  • Tap Record Video
  • Select 4K
