 Endcards/credits (also known as outro) are for credits or when the YouTube endcards appear. This is typically at the end of a video. It is not to be used for conclusions with information.


Exceptions / Edge Cases

  1. YouTube's overlaid annotations do not influence category type decision as they are arbitrarily placed particularly when the segment category is controversial.
    1. If there is a clean cut to unrelated filler audio or video for YouTube's endcards, mark it as endcards.
  2. 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.
  3. Financial supporters alone do not qualify for "Credits", and falls under  Unpaid/Self Promotion, see edge cases below.

Category edge cases

  1. Bloopers and "goodbye" sequences should be  Tangents/Jokes.
  2.  Sponsor segments should always be cut separately.
  3.  Unpaid/Self Promotion /  Interaction Reminder (Subscribe) should be cut separately if possible, but can be included only if they cannot be separated
