Is it me or has something changed with submitting videos to Reallusion TV? 
In the past I have submitted nine videos to Reallusion TV and never encountered this problem. 
On the submission page when I select video for showcase type I copy the link for the video from YouTube (like I have done in the past) and then insert the link in the appropriate box.
However, after I click the submit button this error message pops up: “The file or link is not appropriate, please check again.” 
I have tried cutting and pasting the link again over several days with always the same error message popping up.
I receive no other error messages and all the categories with * are filled.  
I’m stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, after trying again and again it worked...
But for some reason they changed their policy of submitting,
all my films were accepted so far, but my latest 2 submissions:

and

were not accepted...:pinch::exclamation:

toystorylab,
Thank you for your reply. I guess I’ll just keep trying until it works like you did. Tried again today with no luck.
I’m sorry to hear your recent video submissions were not chosen for Reallusion TV. I’ve watched and commented on both and they are quite good.
I agree Reallusion must have a new policy or criteria for what they want to show on Reallusion TV. But I’m not aware of any new posted guidelines or requirements. Did you receive any feedback as to why your videos weren’t accepted? 

Perhaps someone from Reallusion can answer the following questions:  How does one get a Director’s Certificate now? The previous process was you submitted to Reallusion TV and waited a couple days to several weeks to receive an acceptance. After acceptance, you were sent a Director’s Certificate link (to print) by email and your video was published on Reallusion TV. Now must a video be accepted for the $100 to get a Director’s Certificate? And throughout the year, how many videos will be accepted for the $100, one a month, 12 a month, 120 a month? And any idea why the link is "twitchy" on the Reallusion TV Submission page?

The only policy I'm aware of that needs to be at least 1 minute long. However, looking at the submission form now, there seem to be other (unspecified) criteria, based on this:


Reallusion TV - Showcase Collection!

We’re looking for the best showcases made with Reallusion Product, to promote on Reallusion TV!
And, if your work gets picked by our team, then you'll get a $100 value reward from us.
Simply submit your best work to catch our attention! 

So does this mean you can submit and it will be shown regardless, and when picked by staff you get $100? Or does it mean that only those picked by staff get shown?

I don't know...:unsure: Clarification would be helpful. I wish we could get the $100 retroactively...:P

@toystorylab, I will look at your videos later.

I just tried and I was able to submit a video (using Google Chrome). Now we'll have to wait and see what happens next...:doze:

animagic,
That's great! Good luck with your submission. :D I've tried twice since you posted and both times I still get "The File or Link is inappropriate, please try again" for the video submission line. :crazy:

Thanks! As to your submission, what type of link link do you use? If YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook it should be OK.

It's a YouTube link. It's always worked in the past. I'm stumped.

Success! :D
I figured it out after a morning of trial and error and was able to submit my video to Reallusion TV.
Initially I kept inserting the shareable link to my YouTube video which was https://youtu.be/82uo4iXezsU. That had always worked in the past, however I kept getting this message: “The file or link is not appropriate, please check again.” :crazy:
Experimenting, I had a video on Vimeo. When I clicked the copy link button it gave me a choice of video link or embed code. At that point I realized the Reallusion TV submission page stated:
* Submit your video via a YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook embed link (URL):
Ah, embed was the key. ;) Back on YouTube with my video selected I clicked Share and chose Embed option:
This is what I copied and pasted into the video submission field: 
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/82uo4iXezsU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> 
From this I whittled it down to https://www.youtube.com/embed/82uo4iXezsU and that worked. Error message gone! I filled out the rest of the fields on the page and it took my submission. :P
I hope this helps anyone with the same problem. So what tripped me up was the YouTube shareable link code used to work for all my previous submission to Reallusion TV. Now it must be the Embed code.
And thanks again to toystorylab and animagic for responding to my question. :)

Congratulations!

I was going to suggest that the youto.be URL might not work as it didn't for the forum in the past. Because it now does, I didn't mention it. I should have and could have saved you some pain...:blush:

BTW, I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbCe2dMCoXQ and that worked as well.
