Edit, Color, Sound & Creative Approval

If Young One Studio, LLC is engaged as the director, cinematographer, editor, or post-production provider for a project, Young One Studio, LLC retains final editorial and technical approval over the completed work unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The final version of the project, including but not limited to editing, pacing, shot selection, visual style, color grading, sound design, sound mixing, mastering, graphics, titles, visual effects, aspect ratio, and overall presentation, shall constitute the official approved version of the work.

Posting the final delivered version to social media platforms is permitted, including any automatic compression, transcoding, or resizing performed by the platform itself (including but not limited to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Vimeo and YouTube).

Any unauthorized modification, distribution, or public exhibition of an altered version constitutes a material breach of this agreement.
