Rejected for intellectual property reasons

[elenaf7557890]

I uploaded several videos that only show fireworks, and in some of the videos the number “2026” appears at most. All videos were rejected due to “Rejection to protect intellectual property.” I don’t understand what intellectual property could be in these videos. Sometimes I feel like images and videos are rejected randomly. Could you please help me understand what the issue might be, and what I can do in this case?

Did you submit a property release for the music? BTW: you should not put music on your videos.

Ah okay the videos have sound, but there’s no music. You can only hear the “explosions” from the fireworks. Could that also be the problem?

Year 2026.mp4 does have music.

The first and only one that I opened had musik. I did not, and will not check the other ones for music. Explosioins are not IP protected, and for fireworks, that sound could be helpful.

I'm not sure when you uploaded these, but rejections aside, they should have been submitted two or three months ago. It can take a while for assets to be reviewed, and buyers purchase their assets well in advance of when actually posted in order to meet deadlines. Same with any major holidays or events.
