Clipping Guidelines

⚠️ Important Notes & Definitions ⚠️

• Captions in various languages help make clips more accessible to HOH and d/Deaf viewers as well as anyone else that needs and/or wants captioning. ♿️
  • HOH is an abbreviation that stands for folks who are hard of hearing.
  • deaf refers to people that are deaf but don’t identify culturally as deaf.
  • Deaf refers to people who identify culturally as deaf and are active in the Deaf community.
• Captions and subtitles are defined differently in the US.
  • Captions are audio to text.
  • Subtitles are translations of the audio into text.

✅ Captioning Tips

• Use sans-serif and/or mono font types, such as Roboto Mono or Lexend.
• Always display captions on screen for more than a split second.
• You should only apply one of these text effects to reflect color contrast.
  • An opaque, black background sitting behind the white captions.
  • A black outline around them with the font being in a light color.
• Captions are not meant for the clipper(s), but instead for d/Deaf and HOH people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to watch the video content.
• Make sure your captions are professional and readable for the audience.
  • That means transcribing what is actually said in the original video.
    • Don’t just edit AI-generated captions and call it a deal.
  • Don’t add emojis & unrelated jokes into your captions.

• It’s okay to use any images of her VTuber models in videos & thumbnails.
  • Feel free to reach out to Aiyoku via DMs on Discord to obtain them.
• Ask for permission from artists before using any of their fanart for clips!
  • If they’re unreachable by any means, refrain from including the art.

• Avoid intentional misuse of clips taken from both solo & collaborative streams featuring Aiyoku as much as possible.
  • This is directed at clippers that don’t actively misrepresent her.
  • The only exception(s) to this are longer clips like the Unusual VTuber Memes Compilation by TinyTuberClips.
• Spreading hearsay & gossip without any prior context is NOT okay.

• Don’t re-upload ANY clips without permission from the original clipper(s)!
  • This mainly applies to clips that get re-uploaded to TikTok, YT, etc.
• Anyone can share both edited & translated clips in Aiyoku’s Fanbase.
  • There is a dedicated text chat under 💐 Fan Content for them.
