PLEASE READ ALL UPLOAD RULES BEFORE APPLYING EXPERIENCE: At this time, we are only able to accept experienced contributors. In order to help us better assess your experience, please be prepared to provide links to previous work, work listed on other marketplaces, and any other relevant materials to your experience. Please do not submit work until you are ready to provide proof of quality working experience. Please make sure you carefully follow the information below before uploading. IMPORTANT SUBMISSION RULES Please make sure you carefully follow the information below before uploading. 1- You must be the sole creator of everything you upload, with the exception of placeholder media and music for preview videos. This includes, but is not limited to, textures, images, and/or footage for the final download. This does not include placeholder media for template previews, but they must be removed from the product before the final upload. 2. You may not copy anything from existing work. This includes your own work or anyone else’s. Copying means taking layers, parts, or ideas from your own products and reusing them, or building a product that is a replica or mimic of some other piece of work already out in the world. It is good to look for inspiration. But, anything that appears to be a copy will be rejected and can result in account suspension or a complete ban. We have a zero-tolerance policy on this. So, please take it seriously. 3- Do not submit derivatives. A previously approved project can NOT be modified and submitted as a new asset. You can submit an asset created for one software category, into another software category. For example, an approved Premiere Pro Template can be rebuilt for Final Cut Pro and submitted as a new product, but you must not submit derivatives to similar categories. Evidence of derivatives will result in a suspension or a complete ban. 4- Only submit your best work. We aim to bring the best assets to our subscribers, and it will benefit you to present your best work. If your products are rejected often, your account may be subject to suspension and eventual termination. 5- Only use standard Western characters in submissions. When submitting assets, all included files and filenames should only use standard Western characters. Characters from non-Western alphabets like Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc. as well as characters with accents and special symbols will not be accepted. Continued submissions with special or non-Western characters may result in a suspension of submissions in the future. We appreciate your help in creating the best possible experience for everyone involved with Motion Array. We believe that following these rules will help you earn more money and keep customers happy.
