How long does it take before my assets are delivered to OTT platforms such as iTunes and Netflix?

We recommend to deliver all assets to us at least 3 months before the EST/VOD release date. It will take us up to 1 month to process all materials for delivery. Processing time can increase if we find any errors that can’t be fixed and need to request new materials. It can take the platforms up to 1 month to QC and process all materials. For iTunes, there is an option to place your title as a preorder 1 month before the actual release date. In case of a preorder, only the trailer, artwork and metadata need to be delivered upfront.

Next to the feature and trailer we need subtitles, localized artwork and a translated synopsis for each language. With only a English language version you can for example deliver to +/- 50 iTunes stores. Some countries have special requirements, such as Japan which we need a feature and trailer with burnt-in subtitles for and the United States which require Closed Captions. Of course, we can assist you with the creation of all different language versions. Contact us for all specific requirements per territory.
