Most tools help you edit around copyright: shorten the source, talk over it, hope for the best. Reactr works the problem from the other end. On cleared titles, the studio's written permission for reaction videos sits right on the film's page.
Open the Reaction Studio →Trailer footage belongs to the studio, and automated systems like Content ID match it wherever it appears. Reaction creators mostly survive on two things: fair use, which is a legal defense decided case by case rather than a permission slip, and the practical reality that studios usually want trailers shared. Usually is not always, and that gap is where the anxiety lives.
When a studio brings a title to Reactr, the relationship starts with a clearance record: a dated statement, in the studio's own words, of what creators may do with the trailer and the assets. Reaction videos, thumbnail and asset reuse, the works. It sits on the film's page where you can read it before you press record, and the creator asset kit carries it with the materials.
That is a different thing from an editing trick. An editor helps you stay under the radar. A clearance record means there is no radar to stay under for that title.
Most trailers on the slate are not cleared yet, and reacting to them is the same as reacting anywhere on the internet: commentary-forward reactions to promotional material have a strong practical track record, and no tool can honestly promise you more than that. Add your own commentary, react to the trailer rather than re-hosting it, and read our copyright and takedown policy for how Reactr handles disputes on this site.
Fair use is a case-by-case legal defense, not a blanket permission, and nobody can honestly promise your video qualifies. Commentary-forward reactions to promotional material have a strong practical track record, which is different from a guarantee.
The studio's written, dated permission for reaction videos and asset reuse on that title, recorded on the film's page. For cleared titles, you are not relying on fair use or tolerance; you have the rights holder's own statement.
Cleared titles carry the clearance record on their film page, and studio pages built from a press kit say exactly what the studio allows. The list grows as studios come aboard.
No. Clearance is per title, from that title's rights holder. Each cleared film page tells you what applies to it.
On most platforms a trailer-reaction claim is a monetization routing, not a strike. For anything involving content hosted on Reactr, our copyright page explains the takedown and dispute process.
Cleared titles put the studio's permission on the page. No guesswork, no anxiety.
