Submission of your content doesn't guarantee that your title will be published by a given date or selected for licensing. At this time, we're no longer accepting unsolicited licensing submissions via Prime Video Direct for non-fiction and short form content. We’ll notify you if these categories become available for consideration.

Prior to publication, your title will undergo a series of manual and automated reviews before a licensing decision is made. You can check the status anytime in your Dashboard. Please ensure your title is eligible for consideration prior to submission by reviewing the Content Policy Guidelines and Asset Requirements.

While we strive for prompt review and licensing decisions, it may take up to three weeks for us to complete manual and automated review of your title (plus an additional four business days for the title to go live, if there are no errors or revisions).

If you are targeting a particular release date for your title or a particular date to know whether your title will be published, we recommend submitting at least 30 days in advance. Remember, submission of your content doesn't guarantee that your title will be published by a given date or selected for licensing.

You aren't authorized to market availability of your title on Prime Video until your content has been selected for publication. Violation of this policy may result in ineligibility for licensing.

Please review the following chart for an explanation of the publishing icon statuses that your video may have within the Your Videos section:

Prime Video is committed to providing captions to videos offered throughout the service.

A caption file is required for all titles published in the U.S. and for titles Included with Prime worldwide, except Japan where captions are currently unsupported. Burned-in subtitles aren't a substitute for a captions file (except Japan).

The captions file for titles with no spoken dialogue or extended scenes with no spoken dialogue must describe the nonverbal audio elements or instrumental music. For background music, if the music is instrumental (no lyrics), use descriptive words [in brackets] to accurately convey the mood and tempo of music. Preface extended silent scenes with [no audio].

If music contains lyrics, caption the lyrics verbatim in the same way as spoken dialogue. The lyrics should be introduced with the name of the artist and the title in brackets. In the event that lyrics are unclear or in another language, use a descriptive caption to indicate that to the viewer.

See our Common Errors support page for a list of top rejection reasons and ways to fix issues.

At this time, we only pay royalties electronically to bank accounts in the supported countries or regions. For supported locations, see Electronic payments.

If your bank isn't in a supported location, we will not be able to pay you and you will not be able to publish content. You must create an account with a bank located in supported locations.
