Bulk data import

Hello everyone, My name is Paul and I am an audio engineer at a Dutch dubbing studio. I work on many films, handling the mixing and recording of the voices for the Dutch version. I have a long list of films that I have worked on, which I would like to upload. Is there a convenient way to do this all at once, or do I need to do it manually for each title? I hope someone from IMDb can help me with this. I have an Excel sheet with the films and series and what exactly I have done. I look forward to hearing from you! Best regards,

Employee

@zutfil We do not offer bulk upload support, sorry. Once you have your first eligible credit approved and you therefore have a name page on IMDb, you can update from there, which will usually make things faster, especially if adding movie credits. To more easily add credits to multiple episodes of the same TV-show, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9?ref_=helpsrall#multipleep However, it sounds like your credits are not eligible for inclusion on IMDb at the present time, sorry. Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/imdb-credit-eligibility-faq/GXMWNMB8LQCZYFH8 and specifically: “What do you mean by eligible? As stated above, the first and most important thing is to have received a credit on the title. There are a few additional requirements -- we normally only list people who were credited in the original version of a title. For films, this means we'll only list people credited in the initial original theatrical release; for TV titles, it means people credited when the show first aired. In other words, we will not list individuals who worked and/or are only credited in the home video version, in the DVD deleted scenes, or in any other subsequent version. Also, we do not list credits for foreign language versions of a film (dubbing, dialogue editing, translations etc.), with the exception of the US dub of non-English animation.” You might want to vote for the Idea listed at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/credit-on-imdb/6227a1ba56bba8382dc435a0

Also if you do have an IMDb name page, you can add any ineligible dubbing credits to your “Other Works” in the biography section, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM?ref_=helpsrsctn#other

@Col: Is it on any roadmap to give these people a proper place on IMDb? Also, can this thread - https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/credit-on-imdb/6227a1ba56bba8382dc435a0 - be merged into this one: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/suggestion-for-new-feature-voice-actors/5f4a79878815453dba80787a ?
