CANDY BOX + AVAIL
One app. Both formats.
Traditional cinema when you hold your phone horizontally. Vertical stories when you turn it upright.
Shorts, series, movies, music videos and verticals. Non-exclusive participation, with transparent earnings reporting: see the reports we receive and what your films earn.
Accepting films now. Viewing apps are in development.
Submit for consideration on our upcoming AVOD platform—advertising-supported video on demand. Vertical stories go to Candy Box; landscape films go to Avail.
Viewers watch with advertising. Accepted filmmakers may participate in advertising revenue under a signed agreement. Revenue shares, territories and release dates are agreed individually; uploading does not guarantee acceptance, publication or earnings. Viewing apps and monetization are still in development.
Choose platform-only participation
Select Candy Box + Avail only in the form for non-exclusive viewing on our branded websites and apps, with a 50/50 split of advertising income actually received, before any fees or expenses: 50% to the filmmaker/rightsholder and 50% to Candy Box/Avail collectively. No additional commission, marketing fee or platform expense is deducted from the filmmaker’s half.
This option excludes third-party pitches, sales representation and sublicensing. All other rights stay with you. Available territories, this revenue split and the license term are recorded in a separate platform-only agreement before release.
Streaming copy · 1080p MP4 · 8 Mbps target
Streaming copy for Candy Box + Avail: 1080p MP4 using H.264 video, targeting 8 Mbps, with AAC stereo audio at 48 kHz. Preserve the original frame rate and aspect ratio, including a separate 1080 × 1920 edit for vertical content. Staff checks picture and sound before release; complex footage may require a higher bitrate. Keep your original full-quality master separately for cinema and traditional distribution, following the receiving distributor’s specifications.
For initial review, a smaller review copy up to 10 GB is accepted. Final delivery follows selection and agreement.

Final MP4 delivery for Bunny Stream
Our streaming delivery target is 1080p MP4, H.264 video at 8 Mbps, progressive scan, with AAC stereo audio at 48 kHz. Preserve the original frame rate and aspect ratio. Deliver landscape and vertical edits as separate files; do not stretch one to make the other. These are our delivery settings, not Bunny’s only supported formats.
A 90-minute streaming copy at this target is approximately 5.5 GB including audio. The review uploader accepts files up to 10 GB. Full-quality cinema and distribution masters use the separate Deliveries & QC workflow, which accepts files up to 100 GB. File size varies with duration and encoding settings. Supply captions separately for selectable closed captions.
