Please reach out to [support@boclips.com](mailto:support@boclips.com) if you would like to verify up-to-date information or if you have any questions. ---   ## Who does the editing? It depends. If a desired edit falls within our guidelines, editing may be done by either your organization or Boclips for a set fee. Please reach out to your Account Manager or to [support@boclips.com](mailto:support@boclips.com) if you would like us to confirm the editing fee for your organization. To request that Boclips perform an edit on your behalf, please [use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKyMbVssGfwHnC4RRKv7zCCM7huom1f_rdWYJq_6D4GwylaQ/viewform?usp=sf_link) to submit your request. Video edits are typically performed within 2 weeks. Please reach out to [support@boclips.com](mailto:support@boclips.com) with any questions. ---   ## What edits are permitted? The purpose of permitted video edits must be to make the video more relevant to a curriculum or course. Please note that neither stylistic video edits nor video edits that remove watermarks, logos, or any other brand marks are permitted. Typical valid edits include:  - The use of 2 mins from a 10 minute video - Removal of introduction/conclusion sequences  Limitations - Cannot remove and/or paste small cuts of videos in a different order - Cannot paste different videos together - Cannot make edits with the intention of removing key parts of narrative - Cannot clip segments to create an entirely new video different from the creator’s intention. For example, small clips from the video cannot be cut in order to change the video’s narrative ---   ## Audio dubbing Audio dubbing to translate a video into a new language is generally permitted as part of the editing process. The expectation is that such translations will be as close to verbatim as possible, so as to maintain the integrity and intention of the original video. Boclips recognizes that in some instances the translation process may also require some visual editing of text or diagrams on screen. This is permitted as part of the translation process, but every effort must be made to maintain original meaning, design, font style, and timing. Adding new and additional text or narration to a video would be considered a significant alteration of the clip, and as such we encourage customers to inform Boclips and wait for express consent of the content partner concerned. ---   ## Localization Occasionally Boclips customers are able to edit videos if the intended purpose is for localization. This includes edits which allow a video to meet cultural and editorial guidelines. Typical approved requests include: - Removal of swearing - Removal of smoking  These are approved at the discretion of the content partner and cannot be guaranteed, especially when the overall political, social, or cultural intention of the original video may be changed or compromised. In any instance a video is edited, the channel’s logo, watermark, and credits must be left unaltered. Some of our content partners ask that we request express permission before making any edits and/or may have further limitations on what can or cannot be edited. For further information about who these partners are, please ask your Account Manager or [support@boclips.com](mailto:support@boclips.com), or see the list above. ### US: 68 Harrison Ave Ste 605 PMB 71632, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111, USA UK: 3rd Floor, 1 Ashley Road, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 2DT, United Kingdom [+44 (0)20-7183-4257](tel:++44%20(0)20-7183-4257) [support@boclips.com](mailto:support@boclips.com) ### Our approach - [The best content in the world](https://www.boclips.com/content-curation) - [Easy-to-find, relevant, localised](https://www.boclips.com/content-organization) - [Fully licensed and rights-cleared](https://www.boclips.com/licensing-rights) - [Standard- and curriculum-aligned](https://www.boclips.com/content-alignment) - [Seamless integration and delivery](https://www.boclips.com/api-and-lti-integrations) ### Products - [Library](https://www.boclips.com/library) - [Integrate](https://www.boclips.com/integrate) - [Classroom](https://www.boclips.com/classroom) ### Content Partners - [Boclips for creators](https://www.boclips.com/creators) ### Company - [About us](https://www.boclips.com/about-us) - [Insights](https://www.boclips.com/blog) - [Press](https://www.boclips.com/press) ### © 2024 Knowledge Motion, Inc [AI Policy](https://www.boclips.com/ai-policy?hsLang=en) [Accessibility](https://www.boclips.com/accessibility-statement?hsLang=en) [Editing](https://www.boclips.com/editing-policy) [Systems Status](https://boclips.statuspage.io/) [Terms & Conditions - Boclips Library and Integrate](http://boclips.com/mlsa) [Terms & Conditions - Boclips Classroom](http://boclips.com/mlsa-classroom) [Privacy & Cookies](https://www.boclips.com/privacy-policy?hsLang=en)
