Through a distribution partnership, Vydia has made this premium service available to all of its clients for a yearly fee of $20.
Q. Will I get my own VEVO login?
A. No, getting your video on VEVO is a distribution service, so think of it more along the lines of getting content on iTunes, rather than YouTube. Vydia is a digital distribution service that sets up the VEVO account and adds the videos. You Upload the video to Vydia, then make the video available on VEVO.
Q. If I setup a VEVO account, how long will it take before the page is active?
A. We will review and process the request within 1-2 business days, but the acceptance from Vevo is based on demand. At times, due to the number of requests, the wait for Vevo acceptance can be several months. Requests for refund can be made any time prior to channel creation
Q. I have graphics and text in my video. Is that acceptable for VEVO?
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 (also known as chyrons). 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.
Q. How can I upload additional videos to my channel?
A. After you set up your initial VEVO account you will be sent an automatically generated email with a unique login and password. This will enable you to log in to Vydia and upload new videos to be added to your VEVO channel at no extra cost.
Q. I own a record label and have multiple videos, will I need to pay for each video?
A. VEVO pages are based on artist not record label. You will need to pay once for each artist but not for each individual video. If you have 3 artists each with two videos, you will pay for 3 account set ups. If you have one artist with 8 videos you will pay for one account set up.
Q. What determines my VEVO channel name?
A. The VEVO account name is based on the artist name. You can find out if the artist name is already being used by searching the name on VEVO. If there is a problem with the artist name you submit we will contact you for another option.
