Mute segment

2025-10-17T13:29:00Z

VirginViolet: /* Examples */ "timelapse" → "time-lapse"

'''Mute segments''' are for segments that visually contain important information but have audio underneath that belongs in one of the categories. If a segment can be skipped, it should be skipped instead If a “skip” segment is too short to make a smooth skip, it can be submitted as “mute” if it seems better.

Existing “skip” segments cannot be converted to “mute” segments unless resubmitted as a new segment.

The threshold for converting skip segments to mute is about 1.5 seconds, but can vary depending on the context.

== Keeping context ==
* While skip segments should include segues, mute segments sometimes do not include segues
* For segments, try to mute as much audio as possible while still preserving context, reducing confusion as to why there is suddenly no audio
** Don't mute the audio leading up to the segment, e. g. at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSKf0FNANk&t=555s 9:15], bryonato's explanation of the encounter being “mainly just holding W” and the segue into “but we have time for our first round of donations” is not muted

|There are visual disclaimers which cannot be skipped but audio for a sponsor read

|-
|The content creator is shouting out the creator of the source material they based off of at [https://youtu.be/Nk_-oVPmfs0?t=1017 16:57] but it is over a time-lapse, which should not be skipped

|-
|The product name mentioned at [https://youtu.be/AaBfFZ2lObk?t=52 0:52] is muted since it's irrelevant to the content and cannot show any bias, where a skip would dramatically interrupt the flow

|GDQ donation segments still have gameplay but can be muted for the duration of the donation reads

|While there is spoken audio at [https://youtu.be/paUqUTmcf-Y?t=488 8:08], it is an interaction reminder and the entire section can be skipped

|-
|While the audio is irrelevant, it doesn't fit any category and should not be muted
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmX_qqGOGMs Crazy spinning cat]
|}

== Tips for submitting ==
* Mute segments do not need a buffer at the start
* When chaining a skip after a mute segment, add some frames of buffer to the start of the skip segment
* Preview as skip to see if there is a clean cut between the start of the mute and the end of the mute, avoiding unmutes in the middle of dialogue or a sound effect
* Make sure that other audio in the middle of the segment is not muted
* If the section has a part that should be skipped and a 2nd part that should only be muted – make two consecutive segments.
** It is preferred to chain them on exactly the same millisecond but some overlap is okay.
** Instead of chaining multiple skips and mutes in sequence, replace the smaller mute segments with a larger mute that covers all the segments

Tangents/Jokes

VirginViolet: /* Description */ Timelapse → "Time-lapse"

{{Message box|type=caution|mini=1
|title=This is an aggressive category.
|text=Tangents is a category meant for when you aren't in the mood for “fun”.
}}
'''{{Category|Tangents / jokes}}''' is for tangential scenes or jokes that are not required to understand the main topics or narrative of the video.

== Description ==
This includes:
* Time-lapses / B-roll
* Fake sponsors
* Slow motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll footage
* Bloopers
* Irrelevant / tangential parts
** Video author being distracted by something unrelated to the video
** Unrelated highlight clips that don't provide any context, are not elaborated on and don't fit into {{Category|preview}} or {{Category|hook}}.

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
* If any other category can be applied (mute or skip), choose them instead. Tangent is the lowest priority category.
* In most cases, tangents should not be mute. Mute tangents should mostly be used for chaining to a skip.
* This category is not for censoring content such as jumpscares, bright flashing, or distressing moments.<ref>[[FAQ/New categories#Not protecting a user's mental or physical health]]</ref>

Not included:
* Similar to other categories, '''do not''' mark entire videos.
* Useful information:
*# Provides context.
*# Useful explanations or analogies.
*# Excerpts from sources.
*# Background details.
* Segments that are referenced later.

===== Description =====
This is for credits or when the YouTube endcards appear and not for conclusions with information. (Typically at the end of a video)

===== Exceptions/ Edge Cases =====
#YouTube's overlaid annotations do not influence category type decision as they are arbitrarily placed particularly when the segment category is controversial.
## If there is a '''clean cut''' to unrelated filler audio or video for YouTube's endcards, mark it as endcards.
# A goodbye doesn't necessarily justify an endcard. A clear audio '''AND''' visual cut should separate a goodbye before it should be included in an endcard.
#* This helps avoid jarring cuts to a goodbye followed by an outro segment. Just include the goodbye and with it, remove the cut.
#* See Daily Dose Of Internet Intros, just at the end of a video.

===== '''Category Edge Cases''' =====
# Bloopers and "goodbye" sequences should be [[Filler Tangent/Jokes]]
# [[Sponsor]] segments should always be cut separately

Highlight/Draft

VirginViolet: Examples

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
This is for getting to the point or highlight of the video.

Highlight is a very niche & subjective category, enabling autoskip is '''''not recommended''''' for any content you care about.

you '''''will''''' skip context, important information '''''and''''' have content spoiled.

=== Specifics ===
Highlights are not [[Chapter|Chapters]], only one highlight is displayed per video.

Highlights will only jump to a point in the video, hence the start and end time is identical.

Highlight doesn't label the content before it, it labels the content ''after'' it.

"Most Replayed" should not have any effect on what you submit

Only submit the highlight with the highest priority

==== Use Cases (highest to lowest priority)[https://blog.ajay.app/highlight-sponsorblock] ====
# Skipping to the point/most important part of the video
# Skipping to the part of the video referred to by the title

Unpaid/Self Promotion

2023-10-31T21:46:54Z

VirginViolet: Clarification

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
This is for promotions, for which the YouTuber will not receive payment. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the segment. If this is an obvious brief reminder or information, it should be under [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] instead.

'''This includes:'''
*Merchandise
*Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms
**This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)
*Videos or playlists
*Charities, products or websites they like
*Information about whom they collaborated with
*Shout-outs with no money exchanged
*Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
**No money exchanged
**Content YouTuber should have full control
**Products should be purchased by the YouTuber
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)
** Just [[Mute_Segment|mute the segment]], if it would cover content.

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.

'''For example:'''
#Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked [[Sponsor]].
#Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
#Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)|Interaction Reminder]]<nowiki/>s can be included in Unpaid/ Self Promotion

Unpaid/Self Promotion

2023-10-31T21:22:06Z

VirginViolet: Cleaned up video titles

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
This is for promotions, for which the YouTuber will not receive payment. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the segment. If this is an obvious brief reminder or information, it should be under [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] instead.

'''This includes:'''
*Merchandise
*Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms
**This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)
*Videos or playlists
*Charities, products or websites they like
*Information about whom they collaborated with
*Shout-outs with no money exchanged
*Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
**No money exchanged
**Content YouTuber should have full control
**Products should be purchased by the YouTuber
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)
** Just [[Mute_Segment|mute the segment]], if it would cover content.

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.

'''For example:'''
#Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked [[Sponsor]].
#Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
#Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)|Interaction Reminder]]<nowiki/>s can be included in Unpaid/ Self Promotion

Mute segment

2023-10-31T20:02:28Z

VirginViolet: Cleaned up video titles

=== Description===
Mute segments are for segments that visually contain important information but have audio underneath that belongs in one of the categories. '''If a segment can be skipped, it should be skipped instead.''' If a "skip" segment is too short to make a smooth skip, it can be submitted as "mute" if it seems better.

Existing "skip" segments cannot be converted to "mute" segments unless resubmitted as a new segment.

The threshold for converting skip segments to mute is about 1.5 seconds, but can vary depending on the context.

=== Keeping Context===

*While skip segments should include segues, mute segments sometimes do not include segues
*For segments, try to mute as much audio as possible while still preserving context, reducing confusion as to why there is suddenly no audio
**Don't mute the audio leading up to the segment, '''e.g.''' at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSKf0FNANk&t=555s 9:15], bryonato's explanation of the encounter being "''mainly just holding W''" and the segue into "''but we have time for our first round of donations''" is not muted

=== Examples===

|-
! colspan="2" |Positive Examples
|-
|There are visual disclaimers which cannot be skipped but audio for a sponsor read
| [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypynV-o5ox8 1 man, 27 impressions]
|-
|The content creator is shouting out the creator of the source material they based off of at [https://youtu.be/Nk_-oVPmfs0?t=1017 16:57] but it is over a timelapse, which should not be skipped
| [https: / www.youtube.com watch?v="Nk_-oVPmfs0" Hermitcraft 8 |[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk_-oVPmfs0 I moved! (my base)]
|-
|The product name mentioned at [https://youtu.be/AaBfFZ2lObk?t=52 0:52] is muted since it's irrelevant to the content and cannot show any bias, where a skip would dramatically interrupt the flow
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaBfFZ2lObk Slow mo with a high-speed robot]
|-
|GDQ donation segments still have gameplay but can be muted for the duration of the donation reads
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSKf0FNANk Control by Bryonato in 1:08:47 - AGDQ2020]
|-
! colspan="2" |Negative Examples
|-
|While there is spoken audio at [https://youtu.be/paUqUTmcf-Y?t=488 8:08], it is an interaction reminder and the entire section can be skipped
| [https: / www.youtube.com watch?v="paUqUTmcf-Y" 8 Minute Guide to Sucrose |[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paUqUTmcf-Y 8 minute guide to Sucrose]
|-
|While the audio is irrelevant, it doesn't fit any category and should not be muted
|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmX_qqGOGMs Crazy spinning cat]
|}

=== Tips for submitting ===
*Mute segments do not need a 2 frame buffer at the start
*When chaining a skip after a mute segment, add a 2 frame buffer to the start of the skip segment
*Preview as skip to see if there is a clean cut between the start of the mute and the end of the mute, avoiding unmutes in the middle of dialogue or a sound effect
*Make sure that other audio in the middle of the segment is not muted
*If the section has a part that should be skipped and a 2nd part that should only be muted — make two consecutive segments.
**It is preferred to chain them on exactly the same millisecond but some overlap is okay.
**Instead of chaining multiple skips and mutes in sequence, replace the smaller mute segments with a larger mute that covers all the segments

VirginViolet: Added missing column text

__FORCETOC__

==== Description ====
This is for tangential scenes added only for filler or humor that are not required to understand the main content of the video.

'''This includes:'''
* Timelapses / B-roll
* Fake Sponsors
*Slow motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll footage
*Bloopers
* Irrelevant/ tangential content
** Content creator being distracted by something unrelated to the video
** Unrelated highlight clips that don't provide any context, are not elaborated on and don't fit into [https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Preview/Recap#Preview preview]

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===

* If any other category can be applied (mute or skip), choose them instead. Filler Tangent is the lowest priority category.
* In most cases, fillers should not be mute. Mute fillers should mostly be used for chaining to a skip.

'''Not included'''

* Similar to other categories, '''do not''' mark entire videos.
* Useful Information
*# Provides context
*# Useful Explanations or analogies
*# Excerpts from source content
*# Background details
* Segments that are referenced later
*Bloopers that include [[Endcards/Credits]]

VirginViolet: Fixed typo

__FORCETOC__

==== Description ====
This is for tangential scenes added only for filler or humor that are not required to understand the main content of the video.

'''This includes:'''
* Timelapses / B-roll
* Fake Sponsors
*Slow motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll footage
*Bloopers
* Irrelevant/ tangential content
** Content creator being distracted by something unrelated to the video
** Unrelated highlight clips that don't provide any context, are not elaborated on and don't fit into [https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Preview/Recap#Preview preview]

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===

* If any other category can be applied (mute or skip), choose them instead. Filler Tangent is the lowest priority category.
* In most cases, fillers should not be mute. Mute fillers should mostly be used for chaining to a skip.

'''Not included'''

* Similar to other categories, '''do not''' mark entire videos.
* Useful Information
*# Provides context
*# Useful Explanations or analogies
*# Excerpts from source content
*# Background details
* Segments that are referenced later
*Bloopers that include [[Endcards/Credits]]

Tangents/Jokes

2023-10-31T00:19:51Z

VirginViolet: Cleaned up video titles

__FORCETOC__

==== Description ====
This is for tangential scenes added only for filler or humor that are not required to understand the main content of the video.

'''This includes:'''
* Timelapses / B-roll
* Fake Sponsors
*Slow motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll footage
*Bloopers
* Irrelevant/ tangential content
** Content creator being distracted by something unrelated to the video
** Unrelated highlight clips that don't provide any context, are not elaborated on and don't fit into [https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Preview/Recap#Preview preview]

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===

* If any other category can be applied (mute or skip), choose them instead. Filler Tangent is the lowest priority category.
* In most cases, fillers should not be mute. Mute fillers should mostly be used for chaining to a skip.

'''Not included'''

* Similar to other categories, '''do not''' mark entire videos.
* Useful Information
*# Provides context
*# Useful Explanations or analogies
*# Excerpts from source content
*# Background details
* Segments that are referenced later
*Bloopers that include [[Endcards/Credits]]

== Recap ==
=== Description ===
For segments that show what happened in this or past videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information. If it includes clips that only appear here, this is not the right category. If the video that is recapped is not directly linked to the current video, but clips from the recapped video are shown, you shouldn't submit them either, because others have probably not watched the recapped video.

VirginViolet: Cleaned up video titles

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
Usually at the start of a video.

An interval without actual content. This should not be used for transitions containing information.

'''This includes:'''
*Pauses
*Static frames
*Looping animations
*Livestream pauses with no content:
**Looping animations
**Livestream Chat window
**Long break with no talking or nothing seemingly happening
*Copyright, Fair Use, Fiction and Legal disclaimers
*Parts of the video that were blurred or muted by the YouTuber after uploading and don't make sense without the removed video or audio
*Topic themed intro animations and short cinematic openings
*Random unrelated clips with music, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rzC5qrYZXs an intro of a TV Show]

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===
#As a rule of thumb, you can assume, that anything containing speech should not be submitted.
#A greeting containing speech may be marked as intro if and only if it is separated from the rest of the video with a clear visual '''AND''' audio cut.
#An intro segment which contains a warning that protects the viewer should have the warning left out or not be marked at all.
'''Chapter-specific animations'''
* Animations specific to chapters within the video should '''not''' be marked if they elaborate or give context, or are unique to the video (e.g. "Chapter VIII: The Escape", "The Phobos Incident").

* They may be marked if they are generic (e.g. "Question 2", "Round 3") or repeated throughout a series of videos (e.g. "Fan Mail", "Final Score").

'''This category is not for:'''

Sponsor

VirginViolet: Normalized letter casing in video titles.

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
This is for paid promotions, paid referrals and direct advertisements. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the sponsor segment.

'''This includes:'''
* Giveaway of items, which are provided by a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
* Advertisement of affiliate links

* Segues into a YouTube ad

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===
Sponsor should take precedence over other categories such as [[Endcards/Credits]]. If possible, a clean cut should be made.
# If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor:
## Don't make segments covering the entire video
##If the whole video is a sponsor, submit a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]] using the sponsor category.
##If the video isn't entirely about a sponsor but could show bias for the sponsor, don't include the sponsor disclosure and submit a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]] using the sponsor category.
# If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber mark it Sponsor.
# If the product is advertised with YouTuber's branding, but is still clearly a product of the company
'''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]], it should be marked as such instead of Sponsor.'''

* If they are closely linked with or the product bears their branding exclusively.
* Free shout-outs for anything they like
** Other Channels
** Causes/ Charities
** Websites
** Products

Full Video Labels

2023-10-25T00:57:40Z

VirginViolet: Minor factual correction.

'''''Full video labels should not be used on every video or channel which is sponsored.'''''

The label should only be applied if the entire video is based around or features the product and removing mentions would remove the majority of the video.

Even when a video is labelled as such, the parts that '''can be cleanly skipped''' should still be skipped but the [[disclosure]]<ref>Disclosure is when a video mentions that an entire video is sponsored by some company, and includes any descriptions of how this has affected the video</ref> should still be left intact.

Only one label is shown on a video at a time. The priority of the labels is

# Sponsor
# Exclusive Access
# Unpaid/ Self Promo

=== Submitting Full Video Labels ===

# Select any points on the video
# Select one of the applicable categories
# In the type dropdown with Skip / Mute, select "Full Video"

=== Sponsor ===
This label should only be used when the creator has been '''paid in money''' to advertise something shown in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts or the topic of the video was decided by a paying party.

This should not be used when a creator is given a free product from a company.

=== Exclusive Access ===
This label should only be used when the creator showcases a product, service or location that they've received free or subsidised access to in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts.

=== Unpaid/Self Promotion ===
This follows the same rules as [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]].

This should not be used when a creator is given a free product from a company.

Unpaid/Self Promotion

2023-10-24T00:40:12Z

VirginViolet: Corrected spelling mistake

__FORCETOC__
=== Description ===
This is for promotions, for which the YouTuber will not receive payment. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the segment. If this is an obvious brief reminder or information, it should be under [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] instead.

'''This includes:'''
*Merchandise
*Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms
**This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)
*Videos or playlists
*Charities, products or websites they like
*Information about whom they collaborated with
*Shout-outs with no money exchanged
*Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
**No money exchanged
**Content YouTuber should have full control
**Products should be purchased by the YouTuber
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)
** Just [[Mute_Segment|mute the segment]], if it would cover content.

=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.

'''For example:'''
#Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked [[Sponsor]].
#Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
#Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)|Interaction Reminder]]<nowiki/>s can be included in Unpaid/ Self Promotion
