Why Do Videos Get Flagged with AI Content Credentials Automatically?
Even if you film your own footage or only use a tiny AI audio enhancer, auto-captioner, or background tool inside CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or ElevenLabs, modern export pipelines inject C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) JUMBF boxes (jumb, c2pa, c2ma) and IPTC trainedAlgorithmicMedia flags directly into the MP4 or MOV container header.
When TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts ingest your video file, their automated parser reads these container boxes in milliseconds and can attach an automatic "AI-generated" label to your post.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did TikTok or Instagram label my real video as AI-generated?
Editing apps like CapCut and Adobe Premiere often attach a C2PA Content Credentials manifest or XMP AI history tag even if you only used an AI voice filter, auto-captions, or noise reduction. Stripping the container metadata removes these false-positive header tags.
Does removing C2PA metadata compress my video?
Never. UploadCorrect removes the outer jumb, uuid, and udta metadata boxes and copies your original video and audio frames bit-for-bit without re-encoding.
Are my videos uploaded to your server?
No. Everything runs 100% locally in your browser memory, so even large 4K MP4 and MOV files are cleaned in about 2 seconds.
