Title submission overview

 

Miniflyx Direct helps rights holders offer policy compliant titles for rent/buy (TVOD) through Miniflyx. Please note submission of your content doesn't guarantee that your title will be selected for licensing or published by a given date.

Titles submitted for licensing consideration on Miniflyx can be standalone or episodic.

Important: Choose carefully whether to create a standalone or episodic title. You can’t switch types later without starting over.

After you submit content for review, it goes through the "publishing" process. This includes delivering, encoding, reviewing, and making content available to customers.

1. Delivery
   Delivery captures all of metadata and assets.

2. Encoding
   Encoding makes sure that assets meet our technical requirements and turns them into something our customers can play on their devices

 

1. Licensing consideration and title review

All titles undergo multiple reviews before a licensing decision is made. Your title will remain in submitted status until it has been selected for licensing in all requested territories and/or offer types. We generally license professionally produced, feature-length movies and TV shows that have been theatrically released, broadcast on a major TV network, or selected by a major film festival. Even if a title has one or more of these attributes, Miniflyx may still choose not to license it. Conversely, Miniflyx may choose to license a limited number of titles that haven't been in theaters, broadcast, or selected by a major festival.

1. Publish
   If a title is selected for licensing, it will go through the publishing process. Publishing takes all of the pieces that have been reviewed and merges them together to create a title listing in the Miniflyx catalog.

2. Post-licensing content review
    

Miniflyx is a curated service, and we're constantly refreshing our content offering and selection for customers. Content isn't licensed indefinitely and may be removed at any time at the sole discretion of Miniflyx. Miniflyx conducts regular reviews using customer signals and viewing behavior (like completion rate, unique customer streams, and total hours) to determine which titles are resonating with customers. Content that fails to meet our engagement standards may be subject to removal from the service.

We understand you invest a lot in your content and we always provide you with visibility in your Dashboard if your title isn't selected for licensing and/or removed from the catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, removed titles (or titles not selected for licensing) may not be resubmitted or appealed. All content submitted through Miniflyx Direct is made available/licensed at the sole discretion of Miniflyx.

Asset requirements

​

Miniflyx Direct supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080p. (4K UHD content isn’t supported at this time.) Our software automatically adjusts the delivery streams to a resolution appropriate to the customer’s device and connection speed. If you submit a 1080p HD video, and a customer streams it in SD, we automatically adjust it for you. For best results, please upload your highest quality video source. After initial publishing, if you submit a revised mezzanine or trailer, it must be at least the same resolution.

Note: Miniflyx Direct doesn't restrict maximum file size, however, larger files lead to longer uploading, processing, and encoding times.

 

Mezzanine Requirements

• A mezzanine file is a compressed master video file used to produce additional compressed video streams and downloads. We automatically prepare your file for use across all platforms and streaming qualities.

Caption (timed text) Requirements

• Miniflyxis a customer-obsessed company and captions help ensure a consistent viewing experience for all customers, including those who might be hearing-impaired, are non-native English speakers, or prefer to view videos without sound.

Art/Graphic Asset Requirements

• Images are a key way for customers to discover and interact with your content on Miniflyx.

Supported Languages

• The language of a title's metadata determines the locations to which it can be published. A mezzanine or caption file matching the metadata language is required to publish to that location.
