    I have no idea what you mean by “give copyrights.”

    In the U.S., any original work is covered by automatic copyright, as soon as it is fixed in a tangible form. If you wish to register your copyright, which makes its date easier to prove and makes you eligible to received treble damages from infringement, start here:
    https://www.copyright.gov/

    If you mean to license your work to a client, or to assign your copyright to them, you’ll need to do so with a contract.

    Hi Mr Walter Soyka, I am new to freelancer. There so many sellers include this section “I will give copyrights”. I am confused and some buyers asking me the copyrights for my designs. So i am confused. Can you please explain me about this? For example freelancer sites like FIVERR , TENRR etc.

    “Give copyrights” is awkward phrasing in English. You might “transfer copyright” (which would mean the client now owns the copyright to your work outright, not you; you are no longer free to use it), or you might “license” the work (which means you retain copyright, but allow your client to use it).

    However, this is not an After Effects question. You might get better answers on the Business & Marketing forum [link].
