Videoart.net provides its members with more features than any other video-hosting site: By using our Member Center, artists can submit, upload or modify their video and artist profiles or make changes to images in their galleries at any time.

Our site was founded and will continue to be operated by video artists and filmmakers who are dedicated to providing other artists access to high quality display venues that reach the widest possible audience. We will continue to ensure that commercialism is kept to a minimum and that our members’ needs are always the top priority.

Videoart.net aims at being as pluralistic as possible when it comes to displaying artists' work; we try not to limit the variety of works shown on our site. However, Videoart.net will NOT display any material that is either illicit or does not meet a minimal display standard.

Video Profile Upload:

The Video Profile Upload is the easiest way to upload a video; with user convenience in mind, this tool, located in the Member Center, was designed with a standard browsing mechanism to allow Members to Upload, Delete, Replace and even Preview their videos with the click of a button.

Note: Currently this feature is limited to a video file size of up to 10 MB. If your video file size is above 10 MB, it is advised that you use our FTP Upload.

The FTP Upload is the most powerful uploading option; by using this feature members enjoy a quick and efficient submission that supports video files larger than 10 MB. This option is free of charge as long as the submitted videos are encoded according to our Encoding Instructions and are less or equivalent to 5 minutes of accumulative video time.
