AI Transparency

This is a non-binding English translation provided for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy or ambiguity, the German version of this document shall prevail and is solely legally binding.

Teaser-Factory produces video, stills, music and voice-over with the help of artificial intelligence. This page explains, transparently, how AI is used and how AI-generated outputs are marked — in line with the transparency obligations of Article 50 of the EU AI Act (applicable from 2 August 2026).

Where AI is used (Art. 50(1))

Teaser-Factory is an orchestration pipeline. It coordinates third-party AI models that you connect with your own API keys: a reasoning engine (Claude by default, or your own connected LLM, including a local model via Ollama), Nano Banana 2 (stills/storyboard), Veo and Veo Omni (video), plus AI music and AI voice-over. The resulting media is generated or substantially shaped by AI.

Machine-readable marking of outputs (Art. 50(2))

Exported media (video clips, stills, audio) are marked machine-readable as artificially generated. Teaser-Factory writes the industry-standard IPTC marker DigitalSourceType = trainedAlgorithmicMedia together with a descriptive note directly into the file metadata (lossless), and emits a C2PA content-provenance manifest per AI-generated shot. Where a signing certificate is configured, a signed C2PA manifest is embedded into the file; otherwise the embedded IPTC marker plus the C2PA sidecar serve as the provenance record. The marker is designed to be detectable by common content-credential and provenance tools.

Your disclosure obligation when publishing (Art. 50(4))

If you publish content that constitutes a deepfake (AI-generated or manipulated images, audio or video of realistic persons or events), you — as the deployer — must disclose that the content is artificially generated or manipulated. For evidently artistic, creative, satirical or fictional works (e.g. trailers and teasers), the law limits this to a disclosure that does not hamper enjoyment of the work. Teaser-Factory supports you: it generates an AI_ACT_DISCLOSURE directive (machine-readable + editor guidance) with the appropriate placement and the artistic carve-out, ready to drive an on-screen disclosure at the conform/export stage.

Timeline

The Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. For generative AI systems already on the market before that date, the machine-readable marking requirement applies from 2 December 2026 (AI Omnibus provisional agreement, May 2026). The exact technical marking standards are being finalised through the European Commission Code of Practice; Teaser-Factory follows the leading interoperable approach (IPTC Digital Source Type and C2PA Content Credentials) and will track the final standard.

Data protection

AI orchestration runs locally on your device with your own API keys; a local LLM via Ollama runs fully offline. Details on personal-data processing are in our Privacy Policy (B2C) / B2B.

This page is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. The classification of Teaser-Factory under Article 50 and the sufficiency of the marking method are subject to legal review before launch. The Article 50 obligations are not yet in force at the time of writing (June 2026).
