We recommend supplying the highest-quality master available. The current delivery requirement is at least Apple ProRes 422 HQ, 1920 × 1080, progressive/non-interlaced, with no upscaling. A 2.0 or 5.1 audio mix is required, with 24fps or 25fps accepted under the specifications in this agreement.
Before your film is delivered to the Apple TV Store, the video, audio, subtitles and other materials are checked for compatibility and technical issues. The aggregator manages the QC process with approved encoding houses and Apple, and prepares/converts the media into Apple-compliant formats where required.
Yes, subtitle files should be provided separately. STL or SRT are the preferred formats. You should also let us know the film's primary language, any additional spoken languages, and all subtitle languages being supplied.
Yes. Additional subtitle languages can be included depending on the territories you wish to release in. Some territories require language-specific QC, and the agreement provides for an additional USD$100 QC fee per additional language where required.
Yes. Trailers should meet similar technical standards to the feature and should not contain promotional wording such as “Coming Soon” or “Award-winning Film”. The agreement also specifies English subtitles burnt into trailers. Key art should be supplied at high quality and kept clean, with only the film title and image rather than credits, ratings or other text.
Besides the film master and subtitles, you should prepare your key art, at least five high-quality production stills, transcripts and film metadata such as the synopsis, logline, director, cast, genre, runtime, languages, festivals and awards. Providing compliant materials from the start helps avoid errors or delays in delivery.
