🚨 The Feedback Mistake That's Stressing Creators Out

Understanding two types of feedback on Clip can save you time and unnecessary worry.

πŸ‘€ Brand edit request or Clip feedback? They might look similar, but they require completely different actions.

Let's talk about something that can feel a little overwhelming when you're new to UGC (or even after dozens of projects)...

Feedback.

On Clip, you'll receive two different types of feedback, and although they're equally valuable, they're designed to help you in different ways.

Understanding the difference will save you stress, help you respond with confidence, and ultimately make you a stronger creator with every project.

Let's break it down πŸ‘‡

πŸŽ₯ πŸ”„ 1. Brand Feedback = Action Required

This is your Edit Request

If a brand sends feedback, it means they're asking you to make changes to the current project before it's approved.

This could be things like:

πŸŽ™οΈ A brand or product name has been mispronounced.

πŸ“ A key USP or line from the brief has been missed.

πŸŽ₯ An important b-roll scene or product shot is missing.

βœ‚οΈ They'd like a small change to the pacing, script or visuals.

This is the one round of revisions included in every Clip project, so it's important to treat it carefully and make sure you've addressed everything before re-uploading your final version.

βœ… Top tip:

Read the edit request all the way through before opening your editing software.

Create a quick checklist of every requested change and tick them off one by one. It's much easier than going back and forth multiple times.

πŸ’› 2. Clip Feedback = Take It Into Your Next Project

You'll often receive feedback from Nikola or Ally after your project.

Here's the important part:

πŸ‘‰ You do not need to change your current video.

Our feedback is designed to help you improve over time, not send you back to your editing timeline. You might receive advice like:

πŸ’‘ Try facing the window next time for softer natural lighting.

πŸŽ™οΈ Your audio is lovely - next time, try speaking a little slower for an even more natural delivery.

🎬 Consider adding one or two extra camera angles to keep your b-roll feeling dynamic.

Or sometimes...

✨ "This was brilliant."

Because let's be honest - one thing we noticed in the UGC industry is that creators don't hear enough when they've done something well. Often, if a brand loves your content, they'll simply approve it and move on.

That's why we always try to celebrate what's working alongside sharing little tips that can help you level up even further.

Think of our feedback as ongoing coaching, designed to help you become the best creator you can be!

🀝 3. If Something Doesn't Feel Quite Right... Talk To Us

You're never on your own.

Occasionally, a brand might request changes that don't quite align with the original brief.

For example:

  • asking for a completely different script,

  • requesting a full reshoot,

  • or changing the creative direction after you've followed the brief exactly.

If you've genuinely delivered what was originally agreed, don't panic. Start by politely explaining your creative decisions to the brand - they may simply not have realised why you approached it that way.

And if you're ever unsure or feel an edit request isn't completely fair, we're here to help.

Just drop us an email at [email protected]

We'll always look at the situation objectively and help find the best solution for everyone involved. Communication is one of the most valuable skills you can have as a UGC creator!

 βœ¨ The Big Takeaway

Both types of feedback have the same goal: ✨ Helping you become a stronger creator.

The difference is simply when you use them.

πŸ“ Brand feedback helps improve this project.

πŸ’› Clip feedback helps improve every project after that.

The creators who grow the fastest aren't the ones who never receive feedback. They're the ones who embrace it, stay curious and keep improving one project at a time.
