The most likely causes for rejected video products after being submitted are:
- Included content that is not allowed per iTunes & VEVO guidelines
- Cards/slates that appear at the beginning of the video
- Cards/slates that appear at the end of the video for more than 3 seconds (total)
- Release dates or advertisements
- Burned in logos
- Chyrons & Lower Thirds
- URLs, Twitter Handles, Instagram Handles (hashtags are okay)
- Digital/physical retail or DSP callouts/buttons
- End cards for the purpose of YouTube Annotations
- Unsolicited content with brand attribution that extends beyond natural product placement
- Duplicate or merged frames (result of de-interlacing or mixing frame rates)
- Tape artifacts or video glitches
- Titles/credits/chyron burned into the picture
- Signs of compression (such as for web use)
