The minimum is 2 min. Strange it won't let you do this. X

I signed up a long time ago but, as far as I know the minimum is still 3 minutes... but I have heard some girls say they've gotten away with uploading clips less than 3 minutes.
From clips4sale.com (found here: http://www.clips4sale.com/do/instructions )
You can use MPG, WMV, RM, MOV, MP4, M4V or AVI clips on your store. Make sure that you your clips follow this guideline.....a 5 min clip should not exceed 60MB or 1min of video should not exceed approx 10MB )...3min = 30MB, 7min = 70MB and so on. Clips should be at least 320 x 240 in screen size and images should be no larger then 400 x 300 or 300 x 400. PLEASE DO NOT USE BMP FILES FOR YOUR IMAGES, USE JPG FORMAT AND MAKE SURE THE FILE SILE IS APPROX. 50KB or LESS!! ALL CLIPS MUST BE MINIMUM 3 MINUTES LONG AND NO LONGER THEN 60 MINUTES.!

Each video must be a minimum of 2 minutes long. I've tried uploading a video that was less than this, and it automatically denied it from uploading. I have a few 2-minute videos uploaded to my store.
I have two versions of a new geek video I made (my favorite version is only like 1-minute long), so I had to just upload the 2-minute version.
By the way, if you're doing a pee video, but your pee is very short, you could always record yourself flushing the toilet and washing your hands afterwards too. If that still doesn't bring it to 2 minutes in length, if you're using Windows Live Movie Maker, you could add some peeing snapshots at the end of your video, by opening the picture files and dragging them over to the end of the video.
I've had to do this before for a video that I just couldn't get to 2 minutes. The video would play, and at the end of it I'd have 1 or 2 snapshots of me sitting on the toilet, and it might say something like "I hope you enjoyed my video!" or something like that. :P The time (from 0:00 to 2:00) would still be running even while the snapshots are showing on the screen.

That's weird that it's not letting you upload videos less than 3 minutes. I just checked my store, and I have 16 videos that are only 2 minutes long. I record them widescreen with my Logitech HD C910 cam, and I use Windows Live Movie Maker to edit them and save them to the Burn to DVD option (720x480 pixels).

Not sure.. I just tried uploading a 2 minute 5 sec clip and it would not take. I've seen other threads here where other ladies have done 2 minute clips and some of the other ladies and I were like O.o ?! Maybe because my store is so old ? I have no idea.. I should write to them and find out what its about. SupaByoch said she's even seen 1 minute clips on there.. but for me, it has to be 3 minutes! D:
add: just sent cs an inquiry as to why I can't do 2 min clips ! Let ya'll know their response when I get it :D
2nd add: Damn, I love c4s support.. they are ridiculously fast! Here's what they said:
Sara S has replied to your support request, #5431-- with the following response:
Hello ------,
Yes, the clip must now be 2 minutes minimum for the system to accept it. We will look into why your 2 minute clip is being rejected and will contact you when we resolve this issue.
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, reply to this email or login to your account for a complete archive of all your support requests and responses.
**** Glad they are going to clear this up for me, because I have a lot of clips that didn't make the 3 minute limit (without shoving 30 seconds of credits on there) that I can now use so thanks to ya'll ladies and to clips4sale for realizing 2 minutes is plenty! :D ****

Another way to deal with short videos is to film from two angles, and do some switching back and forth, and use video editing software to slow-mo some of it. You can also talk about the act ahead of time (ooh, I need to pee SO BADLY!! I hope I don't PEE MY PANTS) blah blah blah, and then, like BrownFox said, film the ending. You can even create little headlines (title, etc) that are a couple seconds long to stick in at the beginning, and "credits" at the end that have your info in them.
I have the opposite issue - my clips are never shorter than about five minutes!!

Hello!
I'm recording some clips before signing up so I can open the store with 10 clips. I've seen that there are rules against intoxicated sex, but what about drinking one beer fast and burping afterwards? There's alcohol, but not intoxication... would that be allowed? (I can't burp drinking soda, I just don't know why). And does anyone know if clips rubbing oil in body parts are popular? I've seen balloons, smoking, feet, etc, but I haven't seen any mentions to rubbing oil on belly/boobs and it seems like something bbw lovers would like.
Thank you!

I don't even chew gum anymore, but today while I was in the checkout line at the grocery store, I decided to buy a pack of bubble gum just to use for C4S. LOL. It was only like $1+, and I'm really lovin how quickly videos are being purchased after I upload them. I look forward to getting my first ever C4S payment this month, and I'm glad that you ladies have dedicated a thread on here to the site...I love it!

Hello!
And does anyone know if clips rubbing oil in body parts are popular?
I'm not sure about the popularity of oil video clips, but I have two baby oil clips that are 2-minutes each, and both of them have sold. It doesn't hurt to try it and see what happens.
One day I was really excited to receive an e-mail notification that someone had bought like 10 - 15 of my videos all at once!

I need some help. My files are too big. I recorded using my webcam and my file sizes are about double what Clips4sale info page says they need to be, about 10mb per 1 minute. How do I make the file size smaller? I have windows movie maker. Help a newbie out. thanks!!

Hi y'all. I've been making clips for a few months, and having way too much fun exploring the different fetishes that people are into. I wanted to share a tip that one of my girlfriends passed to me for anyone else working off a mac. 2 Apps that have been ridiculously useful to me
1. Smart Converter - converts to mp4, wmv (highest selling format by far), and mov formats within seconds. And it's free. There's no reason not to have clips in multiple file formats. It multiplies your income without increasing your workload. And this app is the best free way to do that I've found.
2. GIF Brewery - it's on the app store for like $4.99, but is the easiest way to make custom gifs for your store that look good and reflect what you want to be selling
I'm not an expert by any means, and if other people have better ways of dealing with those issues (I kinda skimmed the rest of this thread) I'd love to hear them! I've found that the filming part comes kind of intuitively to me, but the actual back end tech stuff is a real challenge for me.

I tried saving in that format and the file size is 100mb. C4S says file size should be 10mb per minute of video. Any other options?

Are you talking about when you go to the various options to save under, and you hover over the options and it tells you the mb/min? I normally do 'save for email' which is more than 10 and I used to use 'as recommended for this project' which was lots more than 10. Both will (eventually) upload to clips4sale. X

Plus, today I randomly looked up the category I seem to do best in and what do you know? I'm third in the top studios for that category. Yay! :-D

Just a quick question for the girls that have been getting paid regularly from C4S, for DD, how long does it normally take for you to get it? I have some automatic payments coming out of my account on the 8th and didn't know how quick they usually were with payments posted.. Thank you ladies in advance :)

I haven't received my ACH either. I did request for payouts to be sent through ACH instead of a check on the last day of February, but I don't know if that matters. And now I keep getting an error whenever I try to log into my Store Admin. Check or whatever, I hope I get my money by the end of the week.

It could very well be an issue on their end, pay-wise.
For those of you having trouble logging into their C4S admin area, they're having technical difficulties today still, I believe. Seen a bunch of tweets about the downtime yesterday/today.
I didn't get mine yet either and I have had ACH since I had the store. Looks like there are tech issues. But they have always paid me so I'm sure it will show up shortly.

When I get my money (it's just $72, I think), I won't really be able to see any of it. Turns out that my checking account is now in the negative because Old Navy attempted to do an automatic bank account withdrawal of $40. :( I could've sworn the guy on the phone said I have to MAIL the payment and it WOULD NOT be automatically taken out, but hey, maybe I just forgot...my bad.
Oh well. At least I have the chance to do better on C4S, and I'll get to see my April payment at least. LOL.

You're in the same boat as me.. My cell phone company debited my account and made it go negative.. Hopefully the money shows up before they charge us NSF charges.

Yeah, those charges ($30 fee, I think) are a bitch! I barely even use my checking account anymore (I do everything through my Payoneer card now), but as soon as I can, I guess I'm gonna have to head over there to deposit money. *sighs*

Ok so has anyone ever heard of guys buying videos and reselling them in their own stores? I watermark mine but its at the bottom corner which, with most programs is not hard to cut out. I am only asking because I had a guy send me a request for some customs but they almost came off like a porn script. Literally exactly like the scripts I had when I did porn. Wardrobe was one section the the entire videos were oddly specific....maybe its nothing but this just seemed different then other custom requests and I wanted to know if this may be a possibility.

I've heard of that happening sometimes, but keep in mind that if you ever see your clips for re sale you can report it to C4s and if the guy doesn't have the signed 2257 (age verification forms) they'll take it down. I don't think it's all that common, you're more likely to find it posted on an illegal "free porn" download site. Also, a lot of guys (at least for me) send scripts for their customs, it's their fantasy and they wanna see you saying and doing exactly what they want. It doesn't mean they're gonna try to rip you off and sell it

Some guys or more specific. I have seen guys post girls clips before, and C4S is very quick to take care of the issue. Though most of the clips I've seen that happen with where not custom.

I got an email yesterday from a guy to do a custom video and when I asked for more information on what he wanted in his video he sent me 3 different emails which pretty much sounded like a script to me. It didn't have a wardrobe section though lol. My husband was like just block him, he probably wants to resell the video!
Is the first letter of his name a D?

Sounds like a script to me too. So many guys just send pages and pages of scripted stuff they want. Ok some are just OCD about it but i suspect a good few of them are hoping to resell.

I have had many guys be super specific it was only odd to me because it seems too much like a porn script.
Its read:
Actress:(My name)
Wardrobe:
Motivation:
Script: example.....at 4 min make sure you look at the camera so I can see your face clearly then....
I dunno just seemed to organized lol. When I usually get custom requests they are specific but more personal because I know these guys take their fetishes very seriously but they also aren't directors. I may just be paranoid because I would be pissed as hell if some guy resold my stuff on C4S.
Thanks for answering ladies. Its nice to know that's its not too common. I moved my watermarks to be more centered so I shouldn't have too much of an issue.

Good morning, ladies. :) Let me know when you get your C4S payment today (it's a day or two late for some of us). I won't be able to relax until I can pay back this person I owe, and I have no idea if I'll get a "You've been paid" notification (ACH) or anything. May just have to keep calling my bank's automated number to find out the balance.
Happy Friday!
