Someone else's video, music or artwork
Pinterest may take the video down.

Check a video freeWhat triggers it
Content that infringes someone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights, such as re-uploaded videos, copyrighted music or another creator's artwork.
What Pinterest says
“If your account gets content removed based on too many copyright infringement reports, you could lose the ability to save Pins on Pinterest, or we may disable your account altogether.”
How to fix it
Use your own footage and music you have the rights to.
Good to know
Other creators' watermarks, film or TV footage, commercial songs. Removal happens after a rights-holder report.
Can FYProof spot it?
A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown and the words on screen. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Video: looked at for this rule
- Speech: not for this rule
- On-screen text: looked at for this rule
- Caption: not for this rule
- Hashtags: not for this rule
It doesn't recognize songs or match clips against copyright catalogs, so it can't tell whether you have the rights to them.
