Make The Cut Still Uploading and it's Past Midnight

Hi All!

So after a week of nonstop editing, I finally finished my edit for Make The Cut, and I was beyond excited to submit it. Now after almost an hour past submitting it, the upload still has the spinning uploading icon, and it's past midnight, which was the deadline for submission.  I'm very worried, as not only do I not want my days of work to go to waste, but I was really looking forward to seeing how my edit stacked up against everyone else's.

If I submitted before midnight, will it still go through? And if not, is there a secondary way I can get this to who it needs to go to?

Thanks,

Josh Miller

Hi, We are reviewing challenges for a small group of users in uploading by the deadline and will respond to those who have already emailed us in the next 24-48 hours. Stay tuned!

Hi jerwinvillanueva,

I receive same exact email, it's heartbreaking I thought we have a chance after they respond about the 24-48hour thing. Our efforts turned into waste,  I'm still hoping that they'll reconsider ,since they are also at fault for having a unresponsive site. Also, we don't have any clue if our uploaf is progressing, no upload percentage or something.

Very disappointing news, indeed. I agree that a progress bar would be a cool idea. I'll mention that to the contest providers. Sorry for the letdown.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi JohnBond,

Unfortunately, we are not legally able to accept late entries to be judged as part of the competition

Well, that's disappointing. Sorry to hear that. I will raise this issue with the marketing team to make sure that they know this issue has hurt a good chunk of our users. We should take some of the blame for not providing the tech for anyone that wanted to upload an entry. On behalf of Adobe, I'm sorry we didn't have the foresight to see that this was going to occur.

Though there a limitation to flooding any server with data all at one time, perhaps some additional services can be purchased next time to avoid this bottleneck that cost a good number of people their entry.

I wish there was more I could do. At the very least, I'll advocate on your behalf to see if this problem could be avoided for future contests.

Thanks,
Kevin

Unfortunately I received the same response. All the same, I entered the competition to receive critique to become a better editor, and in this regard at least, I can still accomplish my goal.

If everyone who has posted here could take 5 minutes of time to watch my edit and leave critique and feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. I will gladly do the same for anyone who would also like to post theirs.

Mikhail, you got robbed. That is by far the best use of motion graphics in any edit I've seen. Thank you for sharing.

Mikhailz yours is very good, I'd already actually commented on youtube, but there's no need to be so big headed - you do realise that THOUSANDS have entered, you've only had a hundred or so to compare to on youtube and most of the ones uploaded are from people who couldn't enter for various reasons. Also, you're not the only one that put a heap of effort in, I rotoscoped half the footage which took forever, but in the end we aren't being judged on our graphics ability, the edit is the main focus of the video, the graphics are just to make it stand out.

And in reply to Kevin, thank you for your understanding replies, I did email them at the time (in fact, 15 minutes before the deadline was up asking for help) and received the same response as everyone else here.

Yeah, you killed it on the motion graphics spectrum. I envy your skills in that regard.
