FAQs:
1. I missed the Registration Deadline on 14 October and/or the 28 October Upload Deadline, can I still upload my video?
ANSWER: No. You have missed the deadlines for this year. Registration for next year's 2012 Competition opens on 31 January 2012.
2. How can I make my video file size smaller?
ANSWER: If you put your .AVI or .WMV video file into Windows Live Moviemaker (Win7) or Windows Moviemaker (WinXP) you can Save/Export the movie with a custom size. If you select 426x240 pixels, it will save to a smaller file size. If you are using iMovie on a Mac, look in the Help files.
3. Why can't I see my video in the Gallery?
ANSWER: If you uploaded your video and it doesn't appear in the Gallery , it's because of 'privacy or copyright infringement' or is not actually about science (rule #3)...... See the rules:
The Competition Rules #1, #5 #6 #7 and #9 are quite clear
