Creating Short-Form Videos: Quality, Credits and Permissions
Practical guidance for creators preparing short-form video content and media submissions.
Focus each video
Build each short video around one clear subject or story. Make the opening understandable and keep the message relevant to the intended audience.
Prepare accessible content
Use readable captions where appropriate, clear audio and a video format suitable for your intended platform.
Check ownership
Confirm rights to music, images, footage and performances. Give accurate credits and avoid using protected material without permission.
Use the creator workflow
