Segment Categories

Segment Categories

Sponsor: Paid promotion, paid referrals and direct advertisements. Not for self-promotion or free shoutouts to causes/creators/websites/products they like.

Unpaid/ Self Promotion Similar to "sponsor" except for unpaid or self promotion. This includes sections about merchandise, donations, or information about who they collaborated with.

Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)
When there is a short reminder to like, subscribe or follow them in the middle of content. If it is long or about something specific, it should be under self promotion instead.

Intermission/Intro Animation: An interval without actual content. Could be a pause, static frame, repeating animation. This should not be used for transitions containing information.

Endcards/Credits: Credits or when the YouTube endcards appear. Not for conclusions with information.

Preview/Recap Quick recap of previous episodes, or a preview of what's coming up later in the current video. Meant for edited together clips, not for spoken summaries.

Music: Non-Music Section Only for use in music videos. This only should be used for sections of music videos that aren't already covered by another category.

If the interval without music is eligible for any other category, choose it instead. However, if a category other than “non-music” could be used, but wouldn’t cover the part without the music entirely, use “non-music.”

In the end, the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible.
