Is it a bad thing if my video has a lot of risk factors?

The VPR is not a statement on the quality of your video. It is simply a label to allow greater access for photosensitive people to decide if they are able to watch your video or not. Think of it like a TW/CW. A video that has a CW or TW doesn’t mean it’s a bad video.

 


Are you asking me to change my editing style to accommodate others?

No. Feel free to edit however you want! All we ask is that you label your video.

 


I don't want to use the VPR. Is there another way I can be considerate of photosensitive viewers?

Use of a standard Content Warning with an explanation of what is in the video will help.
Example: CW: flashing, red.

A generic notice like “flash warning,” “photosensitivity advisory” etc. is also helpful, but more vague than a CW.
Using “epilepsy warning” is discouraged. It can be seen as reductive and exclusionary. Photosensitive epilepsy is not the only form of epilepsy and many photosensitive individuals are not epileptic.
