How To Upload Your MUSIC VIDEO To Apple Music, VEVO, & Tidal (DistroVID Tutorial)

[@LUKANEGARA]

before uploading to distrovid, does the song have to be registered/released to distrokid?

[@cutter-morris]

Yo! Curtiss, with the great videos. Thank you! I will share along my friends fam. This new feature they brought out is dope glad to see them bring this in. 🙌🏼

[@CurtissKingTV]

Thank you fam! This new feature is fire. Definitely sending one of the new music videos through it

[@Uchawibeatz]

Thanks King. This was extremely informative as usual. Distrokid is really out here saving indie artists

[@CurtissKingTV]

🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@donkodygotslapz]

Not really

[@Manddychaliyaa]

Hey we have distributed our music video on distrokid on June 12 but still don't recieve any earning and reports can you please tell me when does distrokid provide us earnings and reports

[@TheAdamSmasherMultiverse]

Distrokid is murdering the scene

[@CurtissKingTV]

Agreeeed

[@Nezer_Studios]

Please how do you merge vevo channel and OAC?

[@Nezer_Studios]

@curtisskingtv please I really need it

[@TylerRoseTV]

Not sure if you know the answer to this. However could I just have my video uploaded to my own KZbin channel and not create a Vevo Channel ? It didn't look like I had that option.

[@productorbarackuzelejames9984]

Wow very clear information. I like the content. I was confused but I've seen the light now. Thanks boss.

[@divine_architek]

Thank you for the heads up! 🙏

[@CurtissKingTV]

I got you 🙏🏽 thank you for the horror series suggestions!

[@divine_architek]

@@CurtissKingTV Happy to help a fellow creative!

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

Distrokid said they want all the smoke against these other streaming platforms lol. Other W for DK! Thanks for this info CK!

[@CurtissKingTV]

I got you!

[@dryiceVEVO]

I’m Definitely Going To Use *Distrovid* ✅

[@WavyMacofficial]

What I want to Ask is how do Artists get Animated profile pics on their apple music

[@LonelyJuan]

The only two places I’ve heard that aren’t majors that do it are TooLost and Believe.

[@crd1983]

Can you use Distrovid to specifically distribute your music videos if you are already using another distribution service for your music?

[@ArieeBill]

Can’t a videographer upload music videos as well? Like videos that I’ve shot, I own the rights to. Can’t upload them as an artist would?

[@carolinadripson6247]

I actually might do this

[@CurtissKingTV]

If you do let me know what you think of it

[@Whoseray]

Hey what if I already dropped my video on vevo and it popped up on tidal but not Apple Music

[@jefferydion]

Hello, how long does it take for the video to go live on stores? I’m waiting 2 days now..

[@RDP00053]

How can I insert the exact hour of the video output?

[@The-Mother-and-The-Child]

Mahalo! Clear and... my video's uploaded to DistroVid. We'll see what happens when it comes out 01.01.24! Mahalo again.

[@ROBACE600]

Hey brother how long does it take for VEVO to upload a video? I have a week waiting for it to do so and it hasn’t

[@NandoFromTheBronx]

Bro same , it only uploaded to my Apple Music still waiting on vevo channel . It’s been over two weeks

[@user-ew6el2xt7r]

@@NandoFromTheBronxmake a separate vevo tbh bc apple is on point with releases vs video

[@NandoFromTheBronx]

@@user-ew6el2xt7r but I upload it through distro so I don’t even know how to make the vevo

[@motif-music]

He did say 7 days!

[@audiowithinmusic7274]

This is dope! Thanks

[@danodetroit313]

CURTISS ONE PROBLEM IM WORRIED ABOUT IS THAT WHEN DISTROKID UPLOADS YOUR MUSIC ON KZbin THEY DONT ALLOW PEOPLE TO COMMENT IS THAT THE SAME CASE FOR DISTRO/VIDEO?

[@Cfeldersproduction007]

Thanks for the information Its a win win for indie artist.

[@LuckyDineroTv]

Love it man , I wanna add a video header on my profile do u know how to do that yet ?

[@curtisroy4021]

Yes I plan on using it know..

[@gemadasent]

I'm about late asking this but I'mma hit u with it anyway. The KZbin videos with the vevo tag on them, how do they do it? Do you first upload on KZbin and then later after they have distributed your music videos on vevo, that's when it automatically changes on KZbin or what?

[@beckybray5446]

Hi Curtis… thanks so very much for the info!! Is a website link at the end of the video considered an Ad?

[@ShericeTomlinMinistries]

This was very helpful. Thank you for posting and sharing this.

[@CurtissKingTV]

You’re absolutely welcome

[@stefeeze]

I will definitely use it thank you!!!

[@manifestintent528]

I’ve been using Distrokid kid since the jump. Just got my first music video, now I’m ready to upload it. This content definitely helped answer my question on the legitimacy of distrovid. Glad to see it’s just as straight forward as the audio releases are. Looking forward to uploading my first music video. Thank you for this information and bringing peace of mind to the platform use

[@_DAIYONMUSIC]

Dope content fam.. question, once yr song got uploaded to vevo did they upload it with yr name frst then vevo attached.. example tonyvevo.. just makn sure im seeing mines right.. makn sure its not a fake page..im sure its from distro tho..

[@donnas8408]

Another one fam nobody’s your fam here nobody could give a shit after your dying long gone

[@Nova_Axxe]

It dope Imma have to use it

[@official205lijay]

After you click done how long does it take for it to upload? Mine is stuck at 37% for a few mins so I’m not sure if I should retry it or just wait.

[@NataliaNakopia]

Hey Curtiss, thank you for the awesome information. I was wandering, is there any way an indie artist can upload a video for their cover art in apple music? almost every signed artist has a reel like video on their main page instead of a photo now, and I was wandering if there are any hacks indie artists could use to do the same. Thank you!

[@MsShondaRocc]

That’s a great question

[@georgevellev]

i want to check that. could you please tell me one artist with that feature.

[@GoodtimeGregMusic]

@@georgevellev queens of the stone age

[@LonelyJuan]

So this is a complicated process. It was label artists only until a few indie labels tapped into the market for it. You have to have a certain package with like 4 specific templates to deliver to Apple for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV device dimensions. As of now I’ve only heard of 2 indie distribution platforms that offer it which are TooLost and Believe.

[@SlowlyCheers]

So, is this okay to upload to Chanal. 1 in my this Channel 2. Vevo chanel. and still let tunecore control about my Streaming ?

[@Addyologist99]

When I distribute my music video will it be on official KZbin channel? Or they going to make a separate channel for that?

[@TheSunnySlimEffect]

Wow does cdbaby allow video upload like distrovid

[@SignatureJ]

As a producer can I upload a music video to an artist I worked with vevo channel?

[@AryhaNoegraha]

sure

[@kingech_B15]

What about BET and MTV ?

[@CurtissKingTV]

Unfortunately those aren’t offered as the platforms you can distribute to

[@kerai9961]

if i only upload to distrovid will it show on youtube as well or just vevo and the other 3?

[@AdiaSings]

Can you modify the thumbnail after the video is live?

[@RUBAHNO]

What about the videos I already have on KZbin will they tie into each other

[@sharchik916]

How long did it take for them to create a new Vevo channel for you?

[@JemmDahon]

how do i merge my vevo chanel to my official artist channel

[@iluvpawgz]

How did u figure it out?

[@kaystudios1540]

Thanks king you are the best

[@chano7147]

When the distrokid back there OAC claiming?

[@DaRealKingCoopa]

Will the music video be uploaded to the same KZbin channel for your music??

[@TRB-CHOPPA-D777]

How do you do it on mobile

[@Trulygsiva]

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOUR VIDEO TO GO LIVE…. I didn’t see another video on the topic?

[@Frydae-tz1de]

Does the distrovid connect to my artist channel?

[@manifestintent528]

If I already have a Distrokid account and then purchase the Distrovid for $99, is it then two different charges to the account or is it now both Distrokid & distrovid for $99?

[@tyrell-0077]

@@manifestintent528 did you ever figure this out?

[@LonelyJuan]

Everything with DistroKid is a separate charge. Keep track of everything you add on so you know what they’re charging for

[@CrystalReneeMusic]

Thank you 🤗😊

[@bammamusictv4488]

Yea ima check it out

[@purabsharma77]

i had a question about uploading lyric videos. Can we upload lyric music videos like the ones Taylor Swift or coldplay uploads with vevo watermark on it?

[@motif-music]

No

[@LonelyJuan]

Yeah we can we have the option now. But they have to be actual videos with lyrics it can’t just be a static image and lyrics overlayed on top. It must have motion

[@afrozeaqeel9807]

Can we upload cover music videos through Distrovid???

[@motif-music]

No

Yo this is crazy 🔥 My mans about to drop music videos left and right lol !

[@scardezware459]

How can i put mine profil picture in mine vevo channel

[@alchemy77-n4i]

Im using it now and don't understnd when type in the song that is same title album I get this message and dont underatnd what it means: Looks like you may have a featured artist. Please remove the featured artist from your track title, and add them below instead (in "Add featured artist").

[@papa_da_engineer]

"Heres where you put your language, mines is English, obviously" 🤣💀

[@CurtissKingTV]

🤣🤣🤣

[@wendirose__]

Do they take a percentage of your royalties? And does it distribute to KZbin as well?

[@lildetroit]

That’s what I was trying to learn as well it doesn’t say

[@Bibaaofficial]

what about lyric videos?

[@JFredric]

Was wondering this myself I suppose if it’s an official lyrics video it’s probably OK ( I saw Imagine Dragons lyrics video playing the other day that was an official artist release so guessing it probably is all right)

[@Bibaaofficial]

@@JFredric Yh I uploaded mine and it worked, thanks!

[@JFredric]

@@Bibaaofficial yes, I just confirmed with distro kids help and they said that lyric videos that are synced shouldn’t be a problem to load on the servers .

[@AlexHellcat]

distrovid won't let me upload 16:9 videos. it says it needs to have a aspect pixel ratio of 1:1. so what can I do to upload a 16:9 video? a square 1:1 video makes no sense to me.

[@ysteineide178]

According to DistroKid: If your video meets these file specifications, our system shouldn't have any issues making sure that each of our service partners can receive your video. General Specifications: File Type: .mov or .mp4 only Compression Type/Codec: ProRes, MPEG-2 or H.264 File Size: Up to 50gb Resolution: 1920 x 1080 or higher (up to 3840x2160) Duration: 30 seconds or longer Video Encoding: Variable Bit Rate (VBR) only Frame Rate is one of 23.976, 24, 25, or 30 (so we can distribute your video everywhere!) Video Scan Type: Progressive only Audio Format: 44.1 kHz or higher, Stereo only If you are experiencing uploading issues with any 4k video files, best practice is to upload using the H.264 codec.

[@LESURELOVE]

I think why not just upload to KZbin I know I’m not watching music videos on apple, Tidel or Spotify I use them for streaming after I see a video on KZbin, IG and KZbin. I think VEVO is cool if your an bigger artist just my opinion

[@kevinrienass7265]

Great video Curtiss! Thank you! Is your video already available on all platforms? And can I submit my music video to VEVO even if it's already on KZbin? Thanks in advance :)

[@CurtissKingTV]

Yup! And it hardly took anytime to get there. And to answer your question, it’s purely up to you. But it won’t cause any issue to have it uploaded to your KZbin and VEVO

You must upload content that belongs to you and it should be full length videos as opposed to clips
