			A '''Cutoff Prevention''' is a utilitarian technique often seen in older [[tennis]] and [[YTP]]. The practice involves a short and simple sequence is added to the end of a video (usually containing the text "Cutoff Prevention"); this avoids the problem of a video being "cut off" which was common with older editors and [[YouTube]]. The practice has been rendered largely obsolete by the late 2010's and now more commonly used to signify the end of a video or for comedic effect. The only time cutoff preventions are still used for their intended purpose is for [[X-Second Tennis]] (as timing down to the frame is often important) as well as when intentionally using older software.

	~~Simply add text that reads "~~cutoff ~~prevention" to the end of your video. This~~ can ~~be as simple or as complicated as~~ you ~~like~~.
