"ok" by author before approving a movie
 

just happened to me again:
Movie got approved 24hours before the ETA-time was over and I wasnt able to give a single download-link (filefront/livestream).
Maybe just include a small "ok"-button so the author can decide when the movie is ready for publishing.

I always upload the movie at the same time I upload it to WCM. Works fine for me, no need for an "ok" button. But it may be a good idea, just make it as a little box u can check if u want a request sent to u. Simple as pie.
