1) The orange ‘Welcome…’ button in the upper right corner reminds you of your present login identity. It also functions as a ‘Home’ button, which will take you back to the homepage for that user. When searching the Locations Library, the Home button is no longer available, so use the ‘Welcome…’ link to return to the Pitch Room homepage.
2) For faster uploading, if you have multiple images to submit, it is best to compress the entire folder into a single .zip file using the Archive function in Macintosh, or WinZip for Windows. This function is usually available in both systems by control clicking (Apple) or right clicking (Windows) on a folder and selecting “Archive to…” or “Add to Archive”. A popup menu will appear giving you the Archive option. Be sure to select the Zip format. This will create a single file containing all your images. As many as ten zip files can be uploaded at once to each Location Photo File, to a maximum total size of 50mb.
3) To be found in the ImageConnect database, a Location File must have a general category and useful keywords. Click on the small folder icon next to ‘Category’ to open a cascading list of descriptive categories. Choose from the dropdown menus to select an appropriate general descriptor for your Location File.

Pitch Rooms are on-line proposals in password-protected websites, where you can include all the information necessary to pitch your upcoming project to potential investors. Film Commissions can use this service to share the benefits of filming in their region with film projects that are searching across North America for the perfect location.
As long as you have the right permissions, a Pitch Room can be seen by your clients 24-hours a day from any computer that has internet access. Similarly, if you are working with a team who are contributing information to the Pitch Room, they can be uploading information from anywhere in the world at any time of the day.
Pitch Rooms are rented by the week and can be renewed indefinitely.
