A. Once we submit your files and information, Vevo will individually processes and review each video and artist. Itt can take up to 2-3 weeks to activate your channel. Once the channel is set up you can add additional videos quickly and easily at no extra charge.
A. Some graphics and text are acceptable. VEVO does not allow any beginning or end text/graphic slates before and after the music video, as well as no lower third corner text. If it’s done in a creative way as part of the video, then that’s perfectly fine. CLICK HERE to get a better understanding of what is allowed and what is not.
