Video Best Practices
The following issues can be approved but MIGHT be rejected by DSPs (e.g. VEVO/Apple Music):
- Hash tags
- Scrolling credits accompanying music and visuals
The following displayed for no more than 3 seconds at end of video:
Album Single Pack Shots (Cover Art)Logos: Record Label, Management, Production Company, Charitable Foundation
The following issues WILL FAIL at Apple Music. They will also FAIL at Vevo (unless pre-approved):
- Release Dates (including Coming Soon and Out Now)
- Logo Bugs / Chyrons / Lower Third Graphics
- Burned in Logos
- Brand or Product Logos
- Digital/Physical retail or DSP callouts/buttons
- URLs / Twitter Handles / Instagram Handles
- Text credits on a static screen with no music (i.e. title cards.)
- Missing black frame at the beginning and end of the video
