Trying to add a music video

I have added titles before with no problem. But this time is different. When I fill out the initial page and click "Check these updates" nothing happens. No other boxes or forms come up. I'm trying to add Tom Petty's video for Free Fallin'. I am just a regular person (a "champion") with no professional affiliation with the title. Help?

I thought that music videos are not added unless they're longer "short film" versions of the music video? Not fully sure, though.

There was a change within the last few years so that music videos are generally accepted. There are some guidelines in the title formats guide:

Jen, maybe try again, and if it still doesn't work, tell us what you are entering.

I've tried to enter that, and I do get the boxes underneath. But I'm not sure I can find the necessary information.

Hi Jen -

If you are still experiencing problems submitting the new title, based on your screen grab you will need to check-mark the "Provide explanation" box, and click on the 'Recheck these updates' button.  When the explanation box displays, include any relevant information there about the title and any missing details, then try submitting the title form again.
