Compliance and Disclosures
Catch FTC, sponsored, financial, medical, safety, and platform-policy issues.
TL;DR
Use this lesson to catch FTC, sponsored, financial, medical, safety, and platform-policy issues. Treat it as practical guidance, not a rigid rulebook.
Why it matters
A checklist can help creators notice issues before submitting, but clipping is still a creative process. The goal is to help you make a stronger clip without taking away your creative freedom.
What you will learn
Prerequisites
- A finished or near-finished clip
- The platform where you plan to post it
What you need
Core concept
Use Compliance and Disclosures to catch the issue named in the title, then keep the creative choices that make the clip feel alive.
Example
Scenario
A finished clip looks close, but one quality issue may hurt the viewer experience.
Move
Use Compliance and Disclosures to inspect that issue directly on the exported file.
Result
The creator fixes what matters and avoids changing parts of the edit that already work.
How to do it
- 1Check whether the clip includes sponsored, financial, medical, legal, safety, or other sensitive claims.
- 2Keep enough context so the edit does not make the speaker appear to say something misleading.
- 3Add required labels, hashtags, or disclosures from the platform or campaign brief.
- 4Avoid cutting away qualifying language that changes the meaning of the claim.
- 5Escalate uncertain claims or rights questions before submitting.
Expected output
A clip-quality decision based on exported-file playback, not only timeline preview.
Practice task
Run a self-review for Compliance and Disclosures
- 1Open one exported clip and focus only on the issue named in the lesson title.
- 2Make one small improvement and export again.
- 3Compare the before and after on a phone before deciding whether to submit.
