Don't post them here because it is against contest rules. Just curious on who here submitted their contest entry video? I got mine in a couple of days ago. Getting the video down to 10MB size requirement was a real PITA.

I did...took it down from a 1080p video to the crappiest quality to get there...even then i had to edit a few seconds out to get there...about a minute long


Makes me wonder if they are really going to watch them as i can't imagine any good quality vids can be made under 10mb

I did mine in full 1080P and then used an app to compress it to the required size in MP4 format rather than a zip file. I was stomping around the house cussing under my breath when my wife grabbed the phone and downloaded the free app. It only takes about 10 seconds to reduce the file to whatever size you choose. It does lower quality but not as much as shooting it in 540

Yeah, I was at 75 sec limit and 173MB on my first pass uncompressed. LOL. I think I ended up at 50 seconds and had to reduce the quality and compress the heck out of it. I forgot which compression app I used but it worked very well. The quality was not significantly altered but was definitely more pixelated...

So you used a phone? I think mine will look ok on a smaller screen...maybe thats what they were going for

I used a gopro with video editing software on my pc

I made mine in iMovie and stored it in iCloud and used an app on my iPhone 8 to compress it. It still looks pretty good on my 11 inch macbook air.

And I really really REALLY hope they judge us based on content and NOT production quality. I have never made a video in my entire life so my production sucks but my message was strong.

Im with you all and it was such pain for me that I never go it compressed to the right size and the contest closed as I tried to submit a zipped copy last minute! So here is mine for your enjoyment since its not apart of the contest!

Great job on the video! Sorry you weren’t able to get it submitted!

Our thoughts were similar but we took a somewhat different approach to get to the same place. Isn't that what the Jeep Brand is though? No defined path to get to the destination. Since it is the right thing to do I'll say it sucks that you didn't get your video in...but there is that little selfish voice saying less competition makes my odds better! Just kidding I have no expectations to win but my entire family was involved in the video so we had a little fun with it.

I shot mine in 4k and used Videoproc to reduce it without loosing image quality. Took it from 580mb @ 58sec to 8.2mb at 58sec. Took maybe 3 min...

I went through the rules again and we are judged 70% in inspirational message and 30% on on consistency with Jeep message

We entered, and we shot ours in 4k 60FPS, was a amazing video super good quality ... but after getting it to 8.5MB LOL well lets just say ........ Anyways, to all of you that entered I wish you luck, but I am guessing allot of the people didn't get it below 10mb and it didn't work for them....

I was hoping that Jeep sold about 3500 of the LEs in those disqualified states!
