Step 9: Creating and Using Video (lll)

 Copyright and Videos
  Video is more confusing than images you see a lot of remixed videos online or videos using commercial music, especially on YouTube. You are free to embed any video from YouTube, Vimeo, BlipTV, WatchKnowLearn, etc. on your blog or website as long as it gives you the embed option.
 That being said, you (or your students) can’t necessarily use parts from videos on YouTube (or other sources) to make mashups or as part of another video. If you use any video that you are cutting, Making changes to, or adding to a project (or adding audio) it is better to either:

• Use Creative Commons content.
• Use free or public domain content
• Request permission from the copyright holder.

Note: Refer to The Educator’s Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons for comprehensive information on the use of images, curriculum docs, text and quotes, music,videos.
YouTube Copyright Basics
If you do use copyright content on YouTube  this is what might happen:
1. The video and/or audio is pulled because of a DMCA complaint, copyright infringement or content ID match.YouTube in Education
2. No action is taken but they might add an advertisement to your video that says, ‘Buy this song’.
Video Hosting Website
Videos from video hosting websites such as YouTube,Vimeo, Media Core, SchoolTube, and Google Drive can be easily embedded into posts or pages. This is handy when you:

•  When you have large video files you want to add to your blog posts 
• When you want to play your video within an embedded player, or
• When you want to embed a video created by someone else into your posts.

 YouTube
 YouTube is the most popular video sharing and viewing website on the Internet. While some schools  block YouTube there are lots of educators who use YouTube to share videos. These videos could be created by the teachers, the students, or someone else.
We recommend you set up a class or teacher YouTube account if you plan to upload videos or create YouTube Playlists because this helps separate your work videos from your personal videos. YouTube Playlists are a fantastic way of compiling a list, or group, of videos that play in order to share with students. When one video finishes playing the next video starts. Using YouTube Playlists you can control the start and finish times of each video — this is handy if you want students to watch specific parts of videos.
