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 since 2 August 2026).

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

Teaser-Factory is an orchestration pipeline. It coordinates third-party AI models provided through your Teaser-Factory subscription — optionally supplemented by a local Ollama model for Phase 1 (concept): a reasoning engine (Claude by default), Nano Banana 2 (stills/storyboard), Veo (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; the AI generation calls are made through your subscription , and an optional local Ollama model for Phase 1 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 have been in force since 2 August 2026; for AI systems already on the market before that date, a transitional period until 2 December 2026 applies to the machine-readable marking requirement (see above).
