Segment Categories

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

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.

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.

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.

Music: Non-Music Section Only for use in music videos. This includes introductions or outros in music videos.

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.
