You can submit a run without a video, but if you have some way of recording a video, even if it's just pointing a camera at your TV, that's better than nothing.

under every run, theres a button at the bottom right corner, looks like 3 dots, you'll find the rest there

You don’t, not accurately.

The best way is to download the run and then open in a video editor that can see the length of the run in frames. Subtracting the starting frame from the ending frame then dividing that by the FPS of the capture gives you the length of the run in seconds.

Alternatively, you can also just use a video editor to try and find the extract time stamps the run starts and ends to calculate the length that way without checking the frames. As long as the editor is good at showing partial seconds/frames it should work okay. It might be slightly less accurate but it should still be good (or at least better than eyeballing it).

Is it a series that's already on the site? If so, use the "request game" button on the series page. (Or just ask the series mods directly) If you're requesting a new series, be informed that they're starting to be a little stricter about what's accepted. But just put whatever in there. The name of the first game, if nothing else.

There's no way to set timing methods per-category or per-subcategory. However, what you can do is make sure "Show empty time columns" is unchecked, and manually enforce the timing methods you want to use on each run.

Use any video editing software that can show the frames of a video (Vegas, Avidemux, etc). Find the starting frame and the ending frame according to the rules for the game.

Then it’s simple math - (end frame - start frame) / capture FPS.

That’ll give you the length of the run in seconds and you can convert that from there.

You can do this at: Edit game (scrolldown) --> Extra variables/subcategories --> Choose a name and hit "Use as subcategory".
Now you can add subcategories underneath this, make sure you have atleast 1 subcategory as default.

ok, it took a while to understand your sentence, but what you mean is:
1. your run is from the old version ( by the way, the old version uses R15, it's now anthro)
2. you did some skips in your run.
alright, so the old version is completely acceptable, except for the classic version. the classic version has different landscape and some levels is changed A LOT. Therefore, it's not acceptable.
If you skip some platforms, it's also ok in some cases. You can watch the WR run and see what skips is avaliable. however, some skips are not allowed. (such as: level 6 skip). Those who skip half/whole level is not allowed and it's only allowed in no major skips.
i hope this answer you questions.

For some reason it isn't included in the rules anymore, but you can use all of the NMS skips in All Dimensions

Palm trees yes, 27 no. Also skips are probably going to be allowed for the majority of the categories here as they're usually just allowed in this type of category. The run ends when the final tree is touched, so the run should end in level 23.

The ROBLOX series moderators handle game requests, rather than the usual method of speedrun.com moderators.

If you mean you need something to record runs off a laptop, the go-to is probably OBS. Alternatively, consider the Windows 10 gaming recording plugin or Powerpoint video capture.

I don't think that's avoidable. Vurse has tried to fix the issue several times, to no avail. I'm sorry, but you'll just have to play around it.

Moved this thread to "Speedrunning" since it doesn't fall under "Introductions" where you posted this initially.

There is currently no way to change names for timing methods. If you use a modified version of RTA, its best to note this in the Rules and make your community aware of it. People who still run pure RTA should know that even though that modified version is faster, their run would still get accepted but retimed.
