Create and manage shorts

Create a week’s batch of five short-form videos promoting the new EP. Each short should be 15–30 seconds, optimized for vertical viewing, include captions and ear-catching first three seconds, link to the full track in the video description, and schedule them to publish daily at 6 p.m. local time. Check audio levels and that the CTA to stream the EP is visible on phones.

Before I publish these shorts, make them easy to find and share: lead with the hook in the first three seconds, ensure captions are readable on small screens, make the streaming CTA a single short line, and flag anything that will trigger copyright claims or mute the video.

I finished five promotional shorts for the new EP, but two use a sampled riff and I worry about copyright claims. The team is me and my manager Lina; we’re afraid platforms will mute or block the clips and ruin the release cadence. I can’t tell how risky those samples are. What’s the likely outcome and the safest immediate step to preserve posting schedule without losing the hook?

Over the last three releases our shorts often get muted or receive copyright claims, which breaks the posting schedule and reduces reach. The recurring causes are using borderline samples, inconsistent clearance checks, and last-minute edits. Which habit should I change so our shorts consistently publish intact and we stop losing release momentum?
