Endcards/Credits
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
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.
- Financial supporters alone DO NOT qualify for "Credits", and falls under Unpaid/Self Promotion, see edge cases below
Category Edge Cases
- Bloopers and "goodbye" sequences should be Filler Tangent/Jokes
- Sponsor segments should always be cut separately
- Unpaid/Self Promotion / Interaction Reminder (Subscribe) should be cut separately if possible, but can be included ONLY if they cannot be separated
Examples

|---|---|
| Positive Examples | |

| The audio at the end is not present in the first-party VOD | Tevy Fonda - AH Animated |
