Talking about music, can you also use music from previous battlefield titles like Bf1942 or BF4 and so on?

Sure. If it's on the Battlefield Official Soundcloud, you're free to use it. (That much I can 100% guarantee.)

If you have official versions of the music from other places, just make sure you note that in the description of your video on YouTube - but anything outside of Battlefield music (if not copyright free) can result in potential sanctions from YouTube - and I'd hate to see that happen to anyone.

The Battlefield OST in the Soundcloud are copyright free? I did receive some claims when I used BF1 OST, a while back.

Also, can the video be a bit longer than 120 seconds?

We will be doing a cinematic contest near the start of Chapter 5 which will allow for longer videos.

120 seconds is a fair amount of time for some clips - usually the same length as a trailer. (I guess it depends on how much longer than 120 seconds. Like, 130, sure. 180, no.)

RE: the copyright claim you mentioned, we don't do that. If you get another one, let me know immediately - there's been some issues with companies pushing false claims that we've had to work to resolve.

Xbox one doesn't have 1080p though right?

I believe both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X have 1080 capture ability (in the settings). And, I saw a video (can't remember the URL) from Epos Vox that showed how to upscale a 720p video to 1080p for YouTube.

Yes. It’s an Only in Battlefield Operation Underground contest.

Even though this specific contest is not "cinematic" contest, it says montage/multiclip, can you still create cinematic style video for this underground contest?

If you choose to. It does say Only in Battlefield video, so gameplay will be a focus in judging.

Does it have to be your own gameplay or can you use gameplay from others if you have their permission?

Must be your gameplay. “No collaborative efforts”.

I looked into the issues with submissions and it appears the Submission Portal was closed.
It's now open, so if you had issues submitting your video before, please submit now. 

Thanks!

Yes, I know. What I meant was that information like this should be included in this post as well, first thing in the "Details/Rules" section. Not cool that I have to find the most important rule by opening some link and reading the right paragraph, that's some ToS shit, we all know nobody reads them and you shouldn't play tricks like this on your community.
It's a pretty big deal if only people from 27 countries in the world can participate and they also have to be at least as old as the minimum age of majority. There are 195 countries in the world and there are so many players who are under the min. age of majority. I bet that most of the people participating know nothing about this rule, they get creative, spend hours on their clip without even knowing they have no chance getting something in return.
I had all my clips recorded and ready to edit when i accidentally stumbled on this link just to find out there is no point.

Thanks for your feeback. No tricks were played.

I bet that most of the people participating know nothing about this rule

I'm sure a lot of people read the actual rules. And I know I was asked about them because I answered questions regarding the content they could submit.

they also have to be at least as old as the minimum age of majority

This has to do with laws in the countries that are eligible. Nothing I can do about it and it's not going to change.

These are the standard rules we've used for every Content Creation contest for Battlefield V, starting with the FIrestorm contest.

The only thing that has changed was the parameters of the contest - what the content should be. The rest of it is pretty much a template we use for legal reasons.

Rules states that it should be your own gameplay & most of the finalists vids are recorded as spectator LUL . NICE!

anyway Congrats & good luck to the finalists.

You are correct. That means it can’t be someone else’a footage used to compile to make the video. (No team efforts of sharing footage, or borrowing footage from someone else.) Footage from spectator mode is still that player’s (the spectator) footage.
