Spectacle (Startup Videos)

Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Requires a free account (email or Google sign-in) before the Add a Video form is accessible
  • The library is hand-picked — submission is subject to curation; only videos meeting the site's quality bar get in

Requirements

  • You need a VIDEO — this is a curated library of startup/product marketing, brand, and launch films, not a product listing
  • Videos are tagged by production style (live action, animation, screencast, mixed media), length, mood, and industry
  • Fit: launch films, product explainers, brand videos — the kind 'worth studying'

Prepare before opening the form

  • A finished product/launch video (hosted URL, e.g. YouTube/Vimeo)
  • Account email or Google login
  • Likely metadata: title, brand/company name, production style, industry, mood tags
  • Studio credit if a production studio made it (there's a separate Featured Studios section)

Workflow

  1. Create an account at https://spectacle.is/auth/signup?redirectTo=/submit (Google or email)
  2. Open /submit ('Add a Video') and enter the video URL plus metadata
  3. Submission is curated — accepted videos appear in Latest Videos and relevant category/collection pages

Watch for

  • Requires a polished video asset — without one, this destination is unusable
  • Curation bar is high (the library features OpenAI, Apple, PostHog-grade work); a low-effort screen recording will likely be rejected
  • Site is made by video studio Thinkmojo — the directory also funnels work to featured studios
  • A video listing links to the video, not necessarily a product page — value is showcase/inspiration traffic

What counts as live

The submitted video appears in the Latest Videos feed and is playable from its spectacle.is detail page

Not verified

  • Whether acceptance criteria or turnaround are stated post-login
  • Whether the listing links out to the product site as dofollow
  • Whether a 'Sponsor' route offers paid placement
