Okay, so CapCut just quietly updated their Terms of Service (around June 12–21) and it’s honestly a bit of a red flag, especially if you’re a content creator. Here’s the deal: When you edit or upload any content to CapCut and yes, even private drafts, you automatically give ByteDance (the company behind TikTok) and their partners: A perpetual, global, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify, share, repost, and even monetize your work.Including your face, voice, style, username, and anything else in your video.😱 And no. you DON'T get credit, and you DON'T get paid. Even if you don’t post it. Even if you delete your account later. That license still stands. If your in the UK or EU you’re a little safer. EU/UK consumer laws mean companies can’t just override your basic rights. So some of this may not hold up legally if challenged. BUT The TOS still says you give them those rights, and unless you fight it legally (aka hire a lawyer), they’re assuming they can use your content however they want. So it’s still… icky.🥲 You can still use CapCut. But the second you edit something inside it, they technically get rights over it, even if you never post it. That’s why many creators are switching platforms for safer control over their content. 👇What are you doing after reading this?👇

Dearest community, I hope you’re all having a lovely week so far! I’m facing a bit of a conundrum as of late and I need some advice on the matter: An agency reached out to me for Herboxa and after having a brand call and discussion the details of what they wanted went great. After the call, I sent them an email with everything we spoke about to have it all in writing. They were going to provide me with a contract and the scripts for 3 videos to be done in Greek. I received the products 1 week later. (BTW, I reduced my price for 3 videos because they said they would provide me the scripts) So far so good, right? Well, now they have sent me the scripts 3 weeks later and they are in English. Which means that I will need to adjust them into native Greek, therefore I have to kind of write them and they STILL haven’t provided me with a contract. After I told them very professionally that since the scripts will need some time to be adjusted and the price was reduced because I wouldn’t need to spend time on them, I upped the price to close to the initial I provide. They told me they’d pay that if I agreed to upload the videos on my own socials. Also, I still haven’t received a contract from them and not only they told me they’d provide me one, but they’re complaining that we’ve lost too much time (in bold letters might I add) and they need them, while I’ve specified I need it for a more coherent collaboration. I refuse to put in the work without the contract because I’m not in the mood to get scammed, but does anyone else have any suggestions? Is there something I can work around and win in the end? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask what's the "standard" amount of editing you do for paid work? Obvi there's putting the video together, but what about subtitles, adding graphics/music? I really hate doing all of these but just wondering what the industry standard is to see whether or not I should offer it as part of the deliverables :D

Hey dear Community! So I outreached to a brand I wanted to work with, but they are interested in a barter collaboration. They are willing to send 2 items of clothing for 1 post and due to my budget not allowing me to do work for free and since I outreached to them I feel guilty in asking for money (yes, I’m working on that), I need your opinion on this matter: 1. Do I negotiate and tell them I can’t afford a barter collaboration, however I am willing to return the items they send me after the collab is over and get paid for the post? 2. Or do I give them a small price to pay and I keep the clothes they send me?
