The real danger to this video is you left out easily the most important thing to keep in mind: in many situations, if you sell anything related to your channel, you’re a commercial entity by many standards. Fair use does not apply. Bc everyone has a contingent right the second you start profiting from the fairly used clip. People missing this can ruin their lives
ACTUALLY.... Here on UA-cam at least, fair use CAN apply even if you are profiting - under some conditions. I'm no lawyer so this isn't legal advice - but all of my videos on this channel are monetized and I'm selling products in the description of every video. I very much understand getting demonetized - I had an entire voiceover channel that was demonetized - but there were flagrant violations. If you're using movie clips in a TV commercial - even if really short - ya, fat chance those would ever skate by. I'm sure you'd be hearing from lawyers that day. But on UA-cam, I think they cut us a little slack. I think it's more a matter of what prodution studios will allow. They want the good will of the 2 billion active users on UA-cam and go easy on us. BUT, in once sense you are right - there is NO guarantee once you start using copyrighted material unless you have written consent from the copyright holder. It is ALWAYS a risk. One I'm willing to take. So I tread lightly.
@DankMcStank Use clips that are under 5 seconds, upload unlisted, and see if they get copyright claimed. If not, you're probably ok, but no guarantees.
I am just here to say thank you to infinity and beyond! Lol this vid + the vid on how to find clips and use them just gave me so much relief. Thank you!
Nice one for getting that down in seven and a half minutes with some great gags thrown in. I think most of us just want to make great videos and stay on the right side of YT legal team.
@Rob LaBrecque I don't see any references either and along with the affiliate links (profit vs non) that would make this video riskier. Awesome video though, bet it took some time to edit!
Thanks for the video Trevor! I used this along with another video of yours to upload my first video with movie clips. I have a long ways to go, but this is a good start. Making the clips flow and not be awkward and distracting is harder than it looks!
@@TrevorJonescreatorWait if you’re not monetized and don’t care about getting monetized then does it matter or not for you to have multiple movie clips and up to 30 second long clips in your videos?
@@TrevorJonescreator Does doing top 10 list with (narrating) text over clips and none copyright audio count as fair use, removing the audio clip.Would love to know.
𝙇𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙂𝙚𝙩𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 ooh great question! I can only guess but stock footage was expressly created for you to buy to use in your videos. A very different kind of product from a movie, which was just meant for you to consume.
Great video! You made it so funny and interesting to watch, all the jokes you put in this video made it really easy to remember what you said. This is best video I saw about this topic. Thank you so much! :)
Had a thought how does a channel like Deadmeat get away with this ? I know they had a few videos taken down and they had to get a sponsor to re upload it
@@TrevorJonescreator I want to do a top 10 type videos and editing a anime openings so far using the whole opening with one video commentary and not will I get a strike and in trouble for this? Hope you see this to answer to the best you can. Do I give credit to the directors and stuff?
Wow. I've been terrified of using any clips. Got a copyright claim on one of my speeches, because I used a song - just found out after years of it being online. They made $5 off me... THAT WAS MY $5 :'( You just TOTALLY changed my game - thank you SO much!
So we know we should keep it short when using a piece of a movie, but what if we use a 1000 pieces of different movies? Is it fine because they're all short individually?
Maybe? I’d test. Upload unlisted first. Wait to see what YT says before you make public. But there is never a guarantee. Anyone could come back years later and issue a takedown order.
Back with a few more unsolved answers lol. One of your steps to cover ourselves was to get permission to use the clips. How would one get that ball rolling? And once we get permission or give credit in description does that mean we can monetize the video or using clips automatically disqualifies the video for monetization. Really appreciate yr feedback in advance 😊
It's super grey. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't give legal advice. Best rule of thumb: if it's not yours or you don't have permisssion, don't use it. But... If they are short clips and you're following the other stops you'll PROBABLY be fine - even to monetize - but there are no guarantees! It's always a risk! Permission? Just have to research it! For movie/tv clips, I've never done it! Way too time consuming. It's just the super safe way to to do it! Good luck!
@@TrevorJonescreator man thanks much for ur feedback. U dont kno how awsome and hard it is to get open feedback on the basics. Greatly appreciated trevor. Totally siked at giving it a shot. What's the worse that can happen right lol. Wont kno till we try. Thank u again. And I got u on not being able to give me legal advice, but say if I have more questions in the future, is it ok that I ask u for ur personal opinion if that time comes 😉
Hey there dude, ur info is good stuff and like a junky, I'm back. Haha. Through ur vids I'm feeling up to speed on fair use guidelines ect. Question. Whats ur opinion on the amount of clips used in a video opposed to the amount of time used per clip. I'm asking cuz I wanna try to create full sentences using various movie clips. Would 💯% love your personal opinion if u have the time to drop some more knowledge on my ever so ready to absorb mind🤪😁
I’m suppose to post a video tomorrow with a few movie scenes. My video is to inform parents on the best movies for their child to watch during Halloween that won’t scare their child. Will I be okay if I use like less than a minute of each movie? 🥴😬
Well.... kind of. You can probably use clips up to 5 seconds, but will almost never get away with using long scenes. I'm not sure how the channels using long scenes get away with it. The may have consent from the studios. You MIGHT be able to get away with a longer scene, but most likely will get a copyright claim and not be able to monetize.
I started this channel very recent. Just started like 4 months ago. I also want to use other clips of movies and also of military. I want to know how to do this.I don't even see any credits in your description. Plz tell
Come on, no one is going to contact the copyright holders to use a few clips in their videos. We're just looking for the loophole on how we use these clips without getting in trouble from big brother. :)
What if I use a 5 minute clip with no sound as a video for my music? Basically using just the video for instrumental/beat to keep watchers entertained as they listening
Hey Trevor - thanks for another great video. Do you have any tips for using music in the same manner? I've added popular songs to my fun, non-commercial videos and UA-cam bans them (Facebook does too) since the songs have a copyright. Any suggestions for getting around this?
Hey Zach! Ya, music is way more uptight. They catch it right away. My advice: Don't use copyrighted music ever. I get my music for $15/month from epidemicsound.com Good luck Zach!
I screen record some clips that I use for memes and Everytime I upload them, I always credit the videos so I can mention that I’m not pirating, or plagiarizing. And to claim that the content is not mine at all. What I do is pretty correct? Right?
The best practice is for sure to credit the copyright holder but between you and me... I never do it.. Takes too long. And I think the bigger factor by far is the length of the clip. Shorter is better. Like under 5 seconds in my experiecne. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules. But yes, you should give credit to the studio for sure.
I made a review of Renfield (2023) and used clips transformatively throughout my video to address key points. But it was still hit by a copywrite claim.
Ya... if they're over about 5 seonds (maybe a bit more) that's gonna happen... Keeping them super short has given me the most success in not getting nailed. Long clips and full scenes? Ya, you'll get hosed.
So, this video gives us reasons why we can use copyrighted content, but I'm looking for the "how". How did you get these clips of movies and how did you edit them in!?
Heck yea! Thanks for this awesome video! Btw, I was wondering where you source the clips from? Is that also a factor? Any tips on where you source clips from?
