> A publication-note template for realistic synthetic reconstruction, editorial responsibility, sources, corrections, and viewer context.

Canonical: https://onira.studio/templates/youtube-ai-disclosure-description
Audience: YouTube documentary publishers and channel managers
Production job: Publication disclosure
Runtime: Upload artifact
Format: Description and disclosure notes

## Use this brief

Draft publication notes for [film title]. State what was generated or altered, what the visuals represent, who reviewed the factual claims, where viewers can inspect sources, how corrections are handled, and which parts are interpretation or reconstruction. Do not claim legal, policy, or monetization clearance.

## Required inputs

- Exact inventory of generated, altered, authentic, licensed, and third-party media
- Verified source list and any material uncertainty or correction note
- Applicable YouTube altered-content selection for the exact upload
- Rights owner, reviewer, publication date, and correction contact

## Editorial structure

1. One plain-language sentence describing the film's editorial purpose.
2. A specific synthetic-media statement describing realistic reconstruction or meaningful alteration.
3. A source section with titles, institutions or authors, and direct links.
4. A responsibility statement explaining that the publisher reviewed the final film.
5. A corrections line with a monitored contact or process.

## Acceptance checks

- Match the disclosure to the exact visuals; avoid vague blanket language that hides meaningful alteration.
- Use YouTube's current upload disclosure controls when required and verify current policy at publication time.
- Do not imply that AI generation proves, reenacts exactly, or authenticates a historical event.
- Keep source notes useful to viewers rather than dumping unreviewed links.

## Visual direction

Disclosure belongs in upload controls and viewer-facing context; do not rely only on a tiny end card.

## Narration direction

Use a spoken disclosure when omission would materially change how a reasonable viewer interprets a realistic scene.

## Product boundary

- Onira delivers a final MP4; it does not upload or schedule posts on YouTube or social platforms.
- Onira provides a reviewable production workflow; creators remain responsible for approving the story, facts, rights, disclosure, and final publication.
- Director chat is limited to regenerating one selected PREVIEW timeline video clip; other available Studio controls are separate direct actions.
- Creators must review facts, sources, rights, realistic-synthetic-media disclosure, and platform policy before publishing.
- Onira does not guarantee YouTube monetization, reach, factual accuracy, or legal clearance.
