The Premiere photo is the picture most closely associated with your profile. This is the photo that will appear first when you are submitted or searched in the system by a Casting Director. Additional photos can be viewed from within your profile. These are used to show different looks to casting directors and agents. Your agent has the ability to choose which one will be the Premiere photo each time they submit you for a job, so that you can be more specific to the role that is being cast.

Photos are posted the next business day following processing. So, if it hasn't been 24 hours yet, please give it a little time.  If you have emailed us photos using the photo uploading form, please note the process is not instantaneous. 

If you still see your old photo after waiting 24 hours, you probably need to delete temporary internet files in your internet browser. A computer will remember a page that you've been to previously to help you get there quicker the next time. So, you might be pulling information from your computer, rather than what's actually on the website.

To delete temporary internet files using Internet Explorer, click on the "tools" drop-down menu at the top of the screen. Click on "Internet Options". A new window will pop up. Click on "Delete Files" (in the middle, under the temporary internet files heading). Another window will pop up asking you to confirm this request. Check the box that says "delete all offline content", and click OK.   (See Figure 1).

To delete temporary internet files using Firefox, click on the "tools" drop-down menu at the top of the screen.  Click "Options" and choose "Privacy".  click "Clear Cookies,"  click "Clear Cache," and click "Clear All Information Stored While Browsing."  Click "Ok."  (See Figure 2). 

Log back into your Casting Networks account. You should be able to see the new photos.

The system requires that you have Flash Player to view the photos. This is probably why you aren't able to see them.

To install Flash Player, simply visit our homepage at www.miamicasting.com. There's a button on the bottom of the page that says "Get Macromedia Flash Player". Click on the button and follow the instructions.

Once the installation is complete, log back into your Casting Networks profile. You should be able to see the photos. If you still have problems, please give us a call at (323)462-8200, and we will troubleshoot with you over the phone.

You can update your photos through your profile. The photo uploading form you fill out (accessible from the Resume screen) is sent to our Photos department. The photo should be a JPEG image, with a resolution of 72 dpi and a height of at least 600 pixels.

.3gp .3gp2 .avi .dv .mpg .mpg4 .mov .mqv .wmv .asf

If you need to convert your file to an accepted media type, you can use this website to do it for free: www.media-convert.com

Video File Upload

1. Make sure that the File tab is selected.

2. Open the folder with the video file and drag the highest quality version of the video that you have onto the Drop Zone.

After a few seconds of loading, the movie will be ready to edit and upload with the publisher.

Yes. Once you’re in your Media Bin, click on “Add Video to Cart”. The page will give you a link to download the plug-in necessary to view the Video Uploader.  Click on “Get Plug-in” and run the program on your computer.  This will guide you through the installation process. After the plug-in has finished installing, you can refresh your internet browser and the Video Uploader will display.

Most video cameras that can interface with the publisher use the IEEE 1394 stardard (often called Firewire or iLink).

1. To connect the video camera to a computer with an IEEE 1394 port, simply connect the digital video port on the camera (usually labeled DV or DV Out) to the Firewire port on the computer with a Firewire cable.

2. Turn the video camera on.

3. The camera should now be available for control via the publisher.

1. Connect your digital Video Camera (DV, DVC, Digi8) to your computer via an IEEE 1394 (aka Firewire or iLink) connection.

2. Turn the Video Camera on.

3. Place it in VCR mode (aka VTR mode or playback mode).

4. In the publisher, click the Video Camera tab.

5. If more than one video camera is available, select the Video Camera you want to capture from.

6. Using the controls provided by the publisher, rewind and fast forward to the point in the tape where you want to begin recording.

7. Press Play to start the tape at the desired place.

8. Press Start Capture to begin capturing the signal from the tape into the publisher.

9. Press the Done button to complete capture and proceed to edit mode.

1. Make sure that the webcam is plugged in and that you have the drivers supporting it installed.

2. In the publisher, click the Webcam tab.

3. If prompted, select your webcam from the list of connected devices. (Some webcam drivers cause two icons to appear that each represent the same webcam. If so, just pick one, they both work.)

4. Using the Audio Source Selection Box below the Preview Window, choose the audio source you want to record sound from.

Your demo reel (a six minute sample of your work) was the first innovation in casting that allowed casting directors to see examples of your work when considering you for auditions.  Skill clips is an even more direct way to showcase the skills you list in your resume in two minutes or less.  You're not just telling the casting director you can juggle, you’re proving it!

You may mail it in for processing to our LA office.

The file type is not the only thing that determines whether your media can be uploaded.  Your video may not have the correct compression and encoding.

Try to get a purer form of the media in order for it to upload.

Close out of Firefox and restart it.  Once you log into your account again and add video to your cart, the video uploader will display.

Your clip must first be approved by Casting Networks.  It will be approved within 24 hours and then will be available to attach to your resume.
