    I have spent the last few days trying to upload a 3gb mpv4 video and a thumbnail. Neither will upload. I get a message that says Server Rejected. I have no issues uploading a version to YouTube for my private view. I’ve tried uploading from my iPhone and MacBook pro…It takes hours to upload the video before receiving the message Server Rejected…even the thumbnail is getting rejected. I’m using my WiFi to upload. I’m traveling (camping) this weekend to get more paddling footage for another video to enter but still need to be home to complete upload of my other 2 videos… I can’t edit and upload at same time. I’m crunched for time and don’t know why I can’t upload to participate in the video contest. I believe my content and 360* editing on a SUP is unique and has a great shot at winning. I’m excited to enter my videos and find out how they do. Please help me figure this out.

    I am unable to upload my thumbnail and video. Both are within the format guidelines. It’s telling me the content failed to upload to server. I’ve tried uploading from my iPhone and MacBook…same problem both times. Can you help me figure out how to upload?
