It's there a rule against it, that I don't know of?  If so I'll stop posting FMV's.

I'd need another staff to reconfirm since I'm not familiar with the rules concerning trailers unfortunately...

 Cryssy Anne:
Ok, then I'll wait patiently a few days, maybe you could ask Ceki or Hessa (who is part of the approval staff) 

You can directly contact them to if you want :D They won't bite haha But lemme see if I can reach them!

 Cryssy Anne:

Sure no prob! I've sent a message to Hessa let's see how it goes :D

Oh we're allowed to use FMVs for the trailers now?

Isn't it better to stick with the official, since the people who made the FMV might ask for credits or don't want their work re-uploaded? Moreover, FMVs have lower quality and some are seriously a mess. For example, the FMV for Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo is long, might contain spoilers, and almost just scenes between the main leads (it was boring and I couldn't watch it fully). The previous trailer had much better quality, properly edited (since it is the official trailer), and summarises things. I prefer the previous one compared to the FMV.

Also about the 7 FMV added to Remember – War of the Son, they are mostly Music Videos. Personally, I prefer a regular trailer, not loud music videos.

However, I think that if there is no trailer and the drama/film is old, then it is okay to add it until an official one can be found to replace the FMV. But they should not be music videos since it might cause copyright issues since MDL puts ads on trailers for some reason.


Edit: I PMd other trailer staff so let's see what they say.

I agree with Hessa.  If we go back to the first post of this thread it says;

[quote]Length: up to 2.5 minutes (long trailers that last over 4 minutes tend to spoil everything. And let's face it, who watches them till the end?).[/quote] 

We want to arouse the members/watchers curiosity. If we put in FMVs, watchers might lose interest or be misled. Though I hope in the future a section would be allocated for behind-the-scenes/promotional videos(like the ones from -The Swoon-).
