Hi there. It's my first post here although I've been reading this forum for couple months now.
I'm starting a YT channel tomorrow (educational/entertainment material - spanish YouTube) and there's this copyright thing I can't understand. I've read the official Google's Fair Use explanation, but I still have a question:
If I'm making a video about, let's say, wild animals, and I put some 5-20sec. cuts from, let's say, National Geographic videos, would that video of mine get flaged? I'm using my voice, I'm explaining stuff they didn't on their original videos and I don't just copy-paste it. I combine it with some other royalty free videos/images and I bring a whole new concept or idea to it. Also, in the future, as I get some money, I will invest it on creating animations for my videos and I'm going to be their "copyright owner" (not sure how it's called lol).
If I'm not mistaken, I would be under "Fair Use"s protection. Is that correct?
Thanks for your time!
