Each of the major video game platforms have different video specifications for trailers; if your trailer doesn't comply, you can waste valuable time re-submitting. The information on this page is a based on official branding guides, trailer submission guides, and trailers clients of mine have successfully submit.

Where available I've provided links to websites that list specifications in more detail for each platform. Your contact from each of the game platforms will be able to get you access to the branding guidelines which contain more information about branding than you could ever want.

I cannot guarantee that following these specs will get your trailer approved; I've run into cases where I followed all the specifications presented to me, but still got rejected because of one tiny detail that wasn't listed. Be sure to read each section in its entirety to make sure you don't miss anything.

At the very least this should minimize the time spent on the submission process. Regions outside of the United States often have different ultra specific rules, so to be 100% sure your trailer won't get rejected, contact your console representative for exact specifications. I'll update this as necessary, but if there's a blind spot or edge case I missed in this post please contact me with the solution!

Platforms often require separate versions for YouTube. For those just use h.264 encoding settings of 10Mbps and up
