Clipper guide
Clipping should make a source useful without distorting what happened or pretending permission exists where it does not.
Choose the source lane
Use material you own, license, have permission to transform, or can lawfully reference under the rules that apply to you.
Use timestamps as guidance
Candidate moments and timestamps should be checked against surrounding context before a cut is published.
Keep claims intact
- Preserve context around factual claims
- Avoid misleading speaker edits
- Mark uncertain names or facts
- Separate quotation from generated narration
- Keep required attribution
Separate source from generation
Keep original source language distinct from generated hooks, captions, titles, or voiceover. Do not present generated wording as a direct quote.
