How to Submit a Template to ThemeForest – screencast
If you’ve never submitted a theme to one of the Envato marketplaces before, you might find the process to be slightly confusing. Because of this, I’ve created a screencast that will give you step by step instructions for formatting and submitting your theme to us.
Let me know, via the comments, if you have any questions. I hope this helps!

Hi, I'm Jeff. I'm the editor of Nettuts+, and the Site Manager of Theme Forest. I spend too much time in front of the computer and find myself telling my fiance', "We'll go in 5 minutes!" far too often. I just can't go out to dinner while I'm still producing FireBug errors...drives me crazy. I love jQuery, PHP, MYSQL, CSS, AJAX - pretty much anything.

Buy a Mac.
Oh, and remember that you need to wait almost 2 or more days for the approval.
Nice screencast. What screencast program do you use? I’m sure buyers will appreciate the screencast that you made for your template. That’s a good idea.
@Don,

LOL, just realised Screengrab! is for screenshots, not screencasts. >_<
@Don – Camtasia Studio is the program I use. You can download a free thirty day trial at their website.
@Ignacio – We receive many, many templates every day. We do our best.
Very nice Jeffrey
thanks
@Jeffrey, hey, no problem, I love you! I just want to make you (TF) and me some money together.
Keep it up!
@Don,
you can also try Jing, you can download for free from jingproject.com.
Nice screencast Jeffrey.
Nice screencast thanks, personally I make movies with ‘SnagIt9′, very good and doesn’t throw out stupidly massive files like Camtasia.
Very good screencast Jeffrey. Somewhere along the tutorial you asked who’s going to buy your template if it doesn’t validate. Personally I’m into validation and as much possible I want all my files to validate but in my opinion sometimes it’s okay if your template doesn’t validate especially if it uses a new technique that will go against validation.
“You can build a site using tables for layout with complete lack of semantics yet still have it validate. Validation does not equal conformity to Web Standards.”

Anyway thank you for this tutorial and I’m going to upload my first template here at ThemeForest.
@Raymond – I agree completely. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I’m all in favor of browser stylings.
Hey this is great! Thanks, this will help a lot of beginners. Oh and how come all of your files such as html and psd’s have that little white icon as if there are no programs to open it with?
Also another way to take screenshots, not sure if a lot of you already know, but hit the print screen on your keyboard (for a PC). Nice video again!
