THE RIPPLE 2021
YouTube only - until Live Music returns
It takes at least six months to prepare a town-wide music festival which is situated in a number of different venues so, due to the constantly changing Covid regulations, we have decided to cancel the Ripple festival scheduled for May 2021 and review the situation in Feb 2021..
On a more positive note: the Ripple Youtube Channel has been up and running for 5 months and has become a go-to-site for local musicians and music lovers. We are now hosting over 40 clips and have had in excess of 6 thousand registered Youtube views. What was originally conceived as a temporary bridge between Lockdown and a return to normal social contact has become a valuable resource for local acts and their followers.
If you, or anyone you know, can contribute a film for the Channel we would be delighted to host it.
You can use any file-sharing/file-transfer system you like to submit your content to us - for example Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or an online file transfer website such as WeTransfer (wetransfer.com), which works well and is free for transfers up to 2GB.
Please submit your content to the email address submitcontent @ lewesripple.uk but please don't email us with a massive file attachment - it would undoubtedly fail and/or cause all sorts of problems! If you're sending us a link of some sort, for example to a video you've made public or already uploaded to YouTube, please include it in an email to submitcontent @ lewesripple.uk along with any special instructions you might have.
Also, we'll be very grateful if you'll complete and submit the musicians' registration form below before submitting your content to us. It's important we know who you are and that you're happy with our privacy and copyright policies. It'll be helpful if you include in the notes field some info that will help us identify your upload and its contents - many thanks.
You probably already know that for video uploads YouTube supports AVI, FLV, MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and WMV plus a few other less well-known video formats, with recommended encoding settings for optimal conversion - H.264 video codec and AAC-LC audio codec with a sample rate of 48 kHz or 96 kHz.
Our preferred format for content uploads to The Ripple is 1080p (HD 16:9) .MP4 (or .MOV) encoded using H.264 and AAC. You get as close to that as you can and we'll do the rest.
