Video Production Code
Video Production Code
These are our guidelines for content creation.
Always keep a copy of the original, unedited footage. This allows us to recreate the video from scratch if a problem arises during production for whatever reason.
Content Guidelines
1. You must follow all of YouTube's Community Guidelines.
2. While swearing is permitted in our productions, derogatory language of any kind is not. It violates the YouTube Community Guidelines and doesn't reflect well on you as an individual or us as a group.
3. If you are making political content, we expect you to disclose your ideological bent, and we also would expect that you keep your discussions as civil as possible. Starting a shouting match may make good entertainment, but it doesn't make good education or discussion.
4. If you are disputing the views made by another person, do not attack that person directly, and keep your criticisms directed at their arguments and their argumentative style.
5. If we receive a strike of some kind because of something you uploaded, we will be enacting a suspension on your uploading privileges for the duration of YouTube's strike, with reasonable exceptions made.
6. As closely as possible, try and follow the Editing Code.
7. Make sure to include the COPPA rationales to the bottom of the video description.
Editing Code
1. Videos should have an introductory theme song.
1a. Do not use a copyrighted audio track if Nosiphus has not licensed it. A good source for royalty-free audio tracks is Incompetech.
1b. All audio tracks should be played at -10 dB compared to the main audio track. Intros and outros should run for no longer than thirty seconds. The intro should have an exponential fade starting at the twentieth second. The outro should have a constant gain ending at the tenth second.
2. Any edits made should follow the content guidelines.
3. The following contains the basic video description, which should be used for all videos.
The general video description should be placed here.
