Being a professional video creator involves a whole lot of work. Not only do you have to spend tons of time editing, but also your day doesn’t end in the edit bay.
There's a whole other legal side that you need to know about as you create. It’s a little thing called copyright law.
Copyright is nuanced, so keeping a finger pulse keeps you armed with knowledge — because if you're blithely creating without an understanding of copyright, the work you create could get you sued.
Copyrights protect creative work, like books, movies, videos, music, sculpture, choreography, poems, and photographs.
Using a part of someone else's video? Get a license. Using someone else's music? You guessed it…get a license.
Fair use allows people to use other peoples' creative work without permission if they use that work for criticism and commentary on the original work or to transform it into something else.
