What to remember

  • A deliverable should be specific enough to price and approve.
  • Extra hooks, cutdowns, raw footage, and usage can change the value of a deal.
  • Packages should list what is included and what costs extra.

Common UGC deliverable examples

A brand may say it wants a UGC video, but that can mean many different things. A creator should define the asset, length, format, usage, and revision expectations.

The more specific the deliverable, the easier it is to quote and deliver professionally.

  • One edited vertical video
  • Three hook variations
  • Product photos or lifestyle images
  • Raw footage or b-roll
  • Script or concept-only package
  • Cutdowns for different platforms
  • Usage rights for organic or paid placement

How to define scope

Scope answers what the creator is making and what the brand can do with it. A one-video organic package is different from one video plus raw footage, paid usage, and multiple versions.

Creators should write scope in plain language so both sides can understand it.

Clear scope language

Includes 1 edited vertical UGC video, 20-30 seconds.

Includes 1 revision round and organic brand posting rights.

Paid ad usage, raw footage, extra hooks, cutdowns, and exclusivity are not included unless added to the quote.

Deliverables that often become add-ons

Some requests create extra value for the brand or extra work for the creator. These should be added to the quote instead of quietly absorbed.

Common questions

Is usage rights a deliverable?

Usage rights are not a file, but they are part of the deal value and should be included in the scope or quote when relevant.

Do extra hooks count as extra deliverables?

They often can. Extra hooks give the brand more testing value and may require extra filming or editing.

Should a UGC package include raw footage?

Only if the package says so. Raw footage is often treated as an add-on because it can be reused and edited into more content.
