The length of the music I am using is 1:27, and its annoying to cut it off. It would be nice, but not necessary.
As I said previously, there are reasons for the cinematic to be limited to 1 minute :) And, people already started with that rule so it would be unfair to change it in the middle of the contest.
Oh yeah, I just saw the time limit. Why a time limit?
The contest is meant for everyone to join, and being able to win. Having it limited to one minute allow someone spending 3 or 4 hours to be able to win :)
Also, there have been 20 entries on the clock contest, and it was too long to test all the clocks. I want people that vote to be able to see all the entries before voting :)
Err, kinda funny that this event gives away a beta key to people who can play it and make maps already. Does anyone want to donate a beta key if they don't have a friend they want to give it to?
I wish I could give you guys more interesting prizes but well, all I've got available are sc2 beta keys and curse premium. Both are not really useful for mappers ... If you've got some prize ideas just let me know :)

What are the rules on custom resources like models and textures?
Feel free to use the custom things as you want as long as it's available within the game (not post-editing allowed though!).

I have a question does everyone that participates win a beta key ?
Blizzard just gave us some beta keys to share with mappers, so we are going to give them to all entries :) (you must be somewhat serious though :P).
By the way, if you can't make a video of the map because you don't have [fraps, good computer, the time, ...] we will find someone that make the video for you :)
Also, I forgot to tell but you have to provide the map with your submission :)
Submission is over, the contest is being voted on right now here.
Cut Scene Contest
Since the Clock Contest was a great success, we decided to start a new one. This time we want to feature the cinematic abilities of the Galaxy Editor.
What to do?
You have to use the Galaxy Editor to make an ingame cinematic. You are pretty much free on the theme, the goal is to show the possibilities of the editor to do machinimas. Since it only lasts a week and we want everyone to be able to join it, the length is limited to 1 minute.
Requirement
Cinematic must last less that 1 minute
Provide a youtube video: No post-editing allowed, it must be directly recorded within the game
SC2Mapster must appear somewhere on the video. You can insert the sc2mapster intro before the cinematic, add it in the loading screen, use the ingame model ...
Deadlines
You have 7 days to complete this contest, and then during one day a poll will be launched for you to vote and elect the winners!
End of the submissions: Saturday 22 May - Midnight PDT (Los Angeles) [Sunday 23 May - 9 AM GMT (Paris)]
End of the votes: 3 days later
Reward
The main goal of the contest is the fun, however it's better when there's something to win :) We have a lot of beta keys and Curse Premium to give.
First: 3 Starcraft II Beta Keys + 1-year Curse Premium
Second: 2 Starcraft II Beta Keys + 1-year Curse Premium
Third: 1 Starcraft II Beta Key + 6-month Curse Premium
If you really want to capture the whole cut scene you are free to do it too, it just won't be a valid contest submission that's it :)
Thanks for uploading the videos, I really appreciate!

Thanks azu for fraps'ing people's videos :)

Post the map, I'm pretty sure I will find people that can help you recording it and uploading it to youtube :)
See the map already submitted and check out how they did it.
Yeah, the map is needed :)
The cinematics already submitted are really well done, I hope more will come! :)
Excellent :)
Nop only the ingame time count :) You can spend as much time as you want frapsing the loading screen :P
