Background Submission Guidelines


If you have a background collection you would like to submit that meet the below criteria, e-mail us the collection (in a single zipped file) if it is small enough.  If it is too large for e-mail let us know and we will setup a location on our ftp site for you to upload it.

E-mail all submissions to submit@creativelifestyles.com

Recommended movie format

MPEG-2 rendered at either 720x480 or 640x480 at 3500 Kbits/sec and be between 10 and 45 seconds for single shot looping backgrounds, 2 to 7 minutes for long playing multi-scene backgrounds.

The MPEG 2 format works great in Presentation Manager and maintains perfect quality, even when rendered at lower bit rates like 3500 Kbits/sec.

If the loop is good then 20-30 seconds is the ideal length for a single shot video. A 20-30 second video setup according to the above criteria will be between 7 and 15 megs.

Submissions will be rejected if:
  1. The video is shaky
  2. The video is not deinterlaced
  3. The looping is poor
  4. The videos are too long

Recommended Image format:

Jpg or png format between 800x600 and 1600x1200 resolution.

Images will be rejected if:
  1. They are too large (resolution)
  2. They are in the wrong image format
