Upload Issues

Q. Why does the ShowbizReels.com page freeze when attempting to upload my reel and resume?

A. For a 10 MB upload, expect a wait of anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes, depending upon your internet speed.


Q. Why does ShowbizReels.com report an error when I try to upload my reel and resume?

A. Your picture resume must be no larger than 250 KB, and must be a valid .JPG or .GIF file.  Your reel must be no larger than 25 MB, and must be a valid MP4 or MOV file.


Q. I just uploaded my reel successfully.  Why isn't my QuickTime movie reel playing properly on the site?

A. Your .MP4 or .MOV file must be saved as "Self-Contained".  Your movie reel is probably split up among several files, all being referenced by the main movie file.  In this case, your computer is the only one that can play the file after you export it, since the other files are only on your computer.  By choosing "Self-Contained" when you export, the whole movie will be stored into one file, making it possible for others to see it.
