The below instructions only apply to out of network chowns - meaning the migration of a video from outside the VEVO network, (an OAC or Artist channel), to inside the VEVO network (ArtistVEVO channel). In other words, this only applies when we're turning a non-Vevo video into a Vevo video.
The First Step of Completing your Out of Network Chown

Instructions
1. Under "claims" - You will see "Active - Yours (1)", click on "details"
2. Click "Release Claim", this will remove your claim.
3. You may now submit the chown form to content ops. https://ops.vevo.com/chown/
