Question: Partner A and Partner B deliver reference files with some overlapping content. On the Reference overlaps page, Partner B selects “Exclude”?. What happens to user videos that match only the excluded portion?
- These go to Partner B.
- These are now claimed by both partners.
- These go to Partner A.
- These will now be unclaimed.
Explanation
A reference overlap means two partners delivered reference material containing the same matching segment. When Partner B selects Exclude, Partner B removes that overlapping segment from its own reference for matching purposes. If a user upload matches only the excluded segment, Partner B’s reference no longer claims it. The match remains available to Partner A because Partner A did not exclude that portion from its reference.
Why the other options are incorrect
Partner B is incorrect because Partner B excluded that segment from matching.
Both partners is incorrect because exclusion prevents Partner B from claiming that overlapping-only match.
Unclaimed is incorrect because Partner A’s reference can still claim the matching segment.
