Cast and Crew completion

I have tried to mark a couple of movies completed and verified for the cast and crew.   One is my own production Running Scared

 230205-224559-739000 and 230205-224815-534000 and the other one is Everything's OK (2016/I) 230205-162311-898000 is not one of mine.

With Everything's OK, I watched, corrected, and verified the cast and crew for the movie, which I marked as completed.

With Running Scared, since it is my production, I uploaded the missing information and marked it complete.

Both the competitions got rejected as unable to verify and to upload evidence. What type of evidence is needed to mark something as completed when your the producer of it?  What proof needs to be submitted.

Screengrabs of the full credits or links with timestamps to video of the credits are the most common evidence in this regard.

@VonPunk​ 

I have literally never needed this with marking tens of thousands of productions as having completed casts.

@adrian​ Me either, I only throw in such evidence when I already had it to hand for credit corrections. It is strange but it could also be one of those processing errors doing the rounds lately.

That seems to be a lot of trouble just to mark it complete.  You would think the Producer saying it was complete would be enough.

@ZacGates_BDS​ The system probably won't know your identity but I agree there shouldn't be an issue, I'd think a staff member will look at your sub numbers and solve it for you most likely.

@ZacGates_BDS​ Hi!

We do require a screenshot of the credits or a link to a video where we can confirm before marking any cast/crew credits as complete. I also see you don't have a claimed page so the system has no way of telling the editors you are the producer.

Thanks!

I actually do have a claimed page on IMDB. My login on the community is different then the login on IMDB.

@ZacGates_BDS​ Oh that makes sense. But in any case we do require evidence for marking cast/crew as complete. You may also specify in the contribution comment you are the producer and verified the credit to avoid any problem.

Thanks!

It is just that some of the credits are long. Creating screenshots of the entire credits could be 50 or 60 images. That is a ridiculous about to do to mark it complete

@ZacGates_BDS​ If you are the producer please mention that on the submission, that should do it. If credits are available in any video, streaming platform, that would do it too.

I resubmitted mine for Running Scared 230207-174837-155000 with that comment and will see. As for the other one I am not planning to try to make screenshots for it so I will leave it as it. Perhaps someone else down the road will verify it.

I’m personally not a fan of ”locking” any credits, but you could probably take one longer video of the credits, add the video to e.g. Dropbox and submit that link to IMDb.

@eboy​ only if things were that simple. I work in a production office. When I am viewing a film I am in the screenroom and not on a PC. For my situation I would have to take the ds drive out of the project and take it to the editing room when the room is available. Edit the film crop it then render it. After it is render I have to take it off the ds drive and place it on a SD card to be able to take it to a PC before I can then uploaded it. So oh about 2 hours to do that. Creating Screenshots are just as bad... it's not worth doing it for other films other then the ones I produce.

I basically meant with the video on your phone. You don’t need any sound, so just keep it steady. Same with screenshots.
