Get on VidZone

Great news! MarvMent is now an official content provider for VidZone. You may be asking yourself, what is the big deal and what is VidZone? 

VidZone is one of the largest online music video VOD services in the world, operated by London-based Company VidZone Digital Media and Sony Computer Entertainment. The online service provides streaming of music videos from the VidZone.tv website, Samsung Smart TVs, PlayStations and many mobile networks worldwide. VidZone service extends many territories including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and Ireland and many more. 

You may asking yourself, how does MarvMent’s publication to VidZone benefit my music videos? 
This is quite an easy answer.
  • You will earn more royalties as your videos are monetized on multiple VOD services (VidZone, VEVO).
  • Your music videos will be on more platforms.
  • You have a wider audience reach, resulting in more publicity for your artist.
Ok great, how do I get my videos on VidZone and are there any additional charges?

No, there are no additional charges for publishing new music videos to VidZone. The cost of video publishing is included in your yearly MarvMent subscription fee. 
What about my existing videos, will they be published to VidZone?
Yes, your existing videos will be published to VidZone in the upcoming months. You will have to be patient as we have a large catalogue of videos to backfill . MarvMent videos already on VEVO will be published to VidZone in the following order.
  1. View counts- Highest view counts first.
  2. Video quality(HD only).
  3. Adherence to video policy (No logos, embedded titles, chyrons…)
If you wish to get your existing content on VidZone immediately there will be a $10 fee per video for express service.
