Nickkit UberHotmix LOSSLESS-desktop.m4v was a YouTube video uploaded and dated 2010 (though the video could originally have been made years earlier). The video is a demo reel/presentation made by Nickelodeon's former creative director Aaron McDannell, showcasing a variety of works and projects created. The video has a status and urban legend marking in the lost media due to the fact that the video in question contained many clips of unaired pilots and episodes of several shows.
The name derives from Nick Kit (referring to presentations created at Nick for internal purposes only, usually to demonstrate progress and planned future projects), UberHotmix (possibly a spin on the term used for reels "sizzle") and LOSSLESS-desktop.m4v meaning the video was recorded or originated from a Mac computer, and is in lossless quality. However this name could also mean that the video was a torrented file.
Availability[]
The video was privated in 2019 for unknown reasons. The most suspected reasons were that Bubble Guppies renewed at the time (the video could no longer be able to be shown to public due to copyright concerns), or the owner went active and realized that the internal compilation was set to public.
However, the true reason the video was privated was due to the channel being deleted sometime around 2019 for unknown reasons.
Currently, the only truly confirmed content in the video is iCarly, the Bubble Guppies pilot, and unknown content from The Backyardigans. There is no known information about the channel other than that the name was gibberish and he had a TV as his profile picture.
Some cached video info was found on the Nickelodeon Wiki in 2021. However, due to a rehaul of the wiki, the comment section was closed, leaving the cached information unavaliable.
At one point, a clip of the video was available in 2021, but was also privated and has not resurfaced ever since.
On February 28, 2025, youtube user loveforlogos reuploaded the video, stating that they got it from Aaron McDannell's website.
On March 11, 2025, the entirety of Nickkit UberHotmix LOSSLESS-desktop.m4v would be found by rileyisfunny. The video is 3 minutes and 44 seconds long and includes several pieces of footage, such as iCarly, a clip of the Bubble Guppies pilot, content from The Backyardigans (which is now confirmed to be from the final show), and other clips of shows from Nickeloden and Noggin.
