About Your Video

Video themes
Everyone knows that smoking leads to cancer and other diseases. Choose another theme that kids need to hear, such as “Most kids don’t smoke,” “Tell the truth about Big Tobacco,” and “Say no to smoke.” Check out the rest of the Web site for more ideas or come up with one of your own. Don’t copy someone else’s work—be original.

No fancy editing
Fancy video editing equipment is not necessary—it’s all done with a video camera with in-camera editing.

Length of ad
Ads should not be longer than 45 seconds, about the length of a TV commercial. Video files should be smaller than 100MB.

Video file format
Video file formats should be those used in most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones, in .WMV, .AVI., .MOV, and .MPG file formats.

Watch your video
Once your video is submitted (see How to Submit), and if we like it, it will appear in our Ads Gallery for other teens to see.
