Hi there, I've been looking forward to starting a youtube channel about GTA V and GTA V only. Not like a let's play video channel but rather a Tips and Tricks / Tutorial informative channel about the new and upcoming PC version where I will talk about the Online game mode, review DLC's, etc.
I have a little studio set up (mixer, studio mic, studio monitors, a decent PC and I want to get a video capture card).
I have skills in video editing, photoshop, audio editing and modding. I really want to do this channel the right way, I've been thinking for a long time about this and putting all my ideas on paper. I'm a die hard GTA fan and this is what I want to do.
The only thing I'm not familiar with is the whole google partnership and networks business.
Regarding Rockstar's (the company who created the game) copyright policy I found this:
(www) support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200153756-Policy-on-posting-copyrighted-Rockstar-Games-material
They don't actually say anything about monetizing your youtube videos, they just say that you shouldn't use spoilers, cut-scenes, radio music, in game tv-shows and entertainment scenes. Or the "Non-commercial use" reference refers also to monetizing on youtube?
I would like to start professional with this channel from graphics, voice, material to titles descriptions and everything else but I'm not sure how does this monetizing thing works and I wanted to know in advance if I have a chance of being a YT partner with this kind of channel.
Any knowledge regarding this specific example?
EDIT:
I've contacted take2 (the company that owns rockstar) regarding this issue and they replied with this, tho I think its left for interpretation don't you think?
