😵💫 Feedback Isn’t the Problem - Misunderstanding It Is
Difference between Clip's and Brand's Feedback and how to work them out
👀 If you’ve ever received feedback on Clip and thought:
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Do I need to re-film everything?”
“Is this bad?”
Take a breath.
There are two types of feedback on Clip - and they mean very different things. Understanding the difference will save you stress, time, and overthinking.
Let’s break it down👇
🔁 1. Brand Feedback = “Right Now” Changes
This is the feedback that requires action - now.
Brands are allowed one round of revisions, and this is their opportunity to adjust the current project so it aligns perfectly with their vision.
What this can include:
Changing a specific line in the voiceover
Swapping a scene
Adjusting the hook / CTA
Fixing a mispronunciation of the brand’s name
Correcting a spelling mistake in captions
Slight pacing tweaks
This doesn’t mean your video was bad. It means:
👉 The brand wants to fine-tune it for their audience and goals.
With brand feedback, you make the requested changes and re-upload the updated version as an “Edited Video”.
It’s collaborative.
It’s normal.
It’s part of the process.
🌱 2. Clip Feedback = “Grow With Us”
This is completely different. When you receive feedback from Ally & Nikola, it does not mean you need to change your current project.
You DO NOT need to Re-edit, Re-film, or Re-upload.
Clip feedback is future-focused. It’s designed to help you level up over time, in a no-pressure way.
What this might look like:
Suggesting softer or more natural lighting
Encouraging slightly quicker scene changes
Noting that your script could feel more conversational
Exporting specs that can sharpen the quality of your UGC
Highlighting what you’re already doing amazingly
This feedback is an investment in you. It’s how we help you:
Improve gradually
Stay aligned with industry shifts
Keep growing without overwhelm
Think of it as mentorship - not correction.
🤝 What They Have in Common
Both types of feedback are equally important. But they serve different purposes:
Brand feedback = adjust this video now.
Clip feedback = keep this in mind for future projects.
One is immediate. The other is long-term growth.
And both exist because we want you to succeed and keep getting accepted for new Campaigns.
✨ One More Thing: Reviews Matter More Than You Think
There’s another important piece of the puzzle. After a project is completed, brands can leave a review on your Clip profile. This is huge!
Future brands see these reviews when deciding who they want to work with next.
Your profile isn’t just a portfolio - it’s your reputation.
Most brands will leave a 5-star review and highlight what you did especially well:
Communication
Creativity
Fast turnaround
Following the brief
Professionalism
But sometimes… they simply forget. And that’s okay!
If you’re genuinely proud of your final video and the collaboration went smoothly, it’s completely professional to send a polite message asking if they’d be open to leaving a review. Here’s a template you can copy, tweak, and adapt to match the vibe of the brand or project:
Hi [Brand Name] 👋
I just wanted to say thank you again for the opportunity to work on this project - I really enjoyed creating this for you.
If you’re happy with the final video and have a spare moment, I’d truly appreciate it if you could leave a review on my Clip profile. It helps future brands understand what it’s like to collaborate with me.
Of course, no pressure at all — just wanted to mention it 😊
Thanks again!
✨ The Bigger Picture
Feedback isn’t criticism. It’s collaboration, refinement - i’s growth.
Clip invests in its creators because we genuinely want you to become the best version of your UGC self - more confident, more skilled, and more in tune with what brands are looking for.
