# Is this clip worth using?

> A check before Create or ReelGen. The clip should show the product, and the claim should already be true.

Use the clip if it shows the product doing one job, the audio or the screen is clear enough to follow, and you can say the claim without inventing a number. Skip it if it is a logo, a meeting that never shows the product, or footage you would not post.

A bad clip becomes a polished bad caption. Decide before you run it.

## Use it

- The product is on screen, doing one thing.
- You could explain that thing in one sentence you already believe.
- The clip is yours, and it is under 3 minutes for Create.

## Skip it

- It is a title card, a logo, or a face with no product.
- The only way to make it useful is to invent a result.
- You would not put it on the account even if the caption were perfect.
