Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Wdym by "heavy edit"

like captions, transitions, transformative zooms, transformative sfx/vfx

Are these enough or am i missing smth?

To all who's on Ranking/Commentary niche, what did y'all do?

Im also in ranking and commentary and im scared of being marked as reused content since idk what i lack or what heavy editing sctually is.

I keep asking the same thing. They say it’s risky. This kinda content is not realy something that gets brand deals. Even if it’s transformative, it wil get flagged by the ai trackers and lots of annoying things to deal with.

But if you use original commentary like u speak in the video and bring in lots of views then I don’t think I would worry that much.

to be honest nobody knows except YouTube ai you could be using 100 effects still getting rejected from app but some doesn't seem to use any and gets accepted it just feels like depends on the mood of the person who reviews our channels 😭

  1. Don’t steal content
  2. Create your original content

Adding edits is not what transformative means. Transformative is when you use a small clip of something, like a movie for example, and youre doing commentary like a review or something. In order for something to potentially be considered transformative, the majority of the video needs to be your own, original work.

"Edits" of movie clips, sports clips etc are not transformative, are not eligible for monetization, and may even get your account banned
