How do you credit third-party materials in your videos? (2024)

If you want to use third party material in your video first make absolutely sure that you are allowed to use it. And if so, what are the terms. If you are not sure, rather don't use this content then get into trouble later.

Olá, Geralmente nos vídeos de conteúdo, compartilho tanto na fala que a fonte me enviou um vídeo sobre o assunto, bem como dou o crédito na escrita também. Isso assegura credibilidade e valorização do trabalho do próximo

Given that the third party material has been allowed by the owners to be used, you can mention them in the lower thirds or in the roll credits at the end. This would depend of course on the nature of the video that you are using the said material.

Personally I would always add the credit in text on the screen. It’s important to be there and legible. Don’t let it flash on the screen for one second just to say you did it! In fact that would distract the viewer from the main content you are showing. At the same time the credit can be discreet and in a corner, it doesn’t have to be a big banner on the screen.

To avoid getting yourself and your organization into trouble, the most important thing to do when using a third party material is understanding the legal implications associated with it. Is it a free material or do you have to seek permission to use it from the owner or do you have to pay? If it is a music or video how many seconds are you allowed to use it?

You can simply credit third party materials in your videos by simply highlighting with pop up lower thirds while in usage of the third party materials in your video or you can decide to do a 8 to 10 seconds full flash of the third party company logo while giving credit to them on your video production.

When using third-party material, the most important thing to do is to be aware of the legal terms of companies many websites share assets for free for a small price and that price is mentioning Tada✨It's not hard to mention them in your description because truth be told legal trouble is way harder than this small price to pay.If using someone's Clip too you can always go for the credit on screen. I always try to give callout to that in Left top Corner with readability font size or Left Down Corner (because the Brain indicates signals to the eyes while reading goes from Left to Right)It was fun to answer this question I can feel it when you see something enticing enough your brain starts ringing the bell is it legal to use it?

Following guidelines ensures respect for creators and compliance. Personally, I incorporate clear attributions in the video description and end credits, adhering to industry standards. Always respect intellectual property and give credit where it's due!

For some YouTubers that use music in their content, some websites have a guideline that you must credit in your own description.So read what their guidelines are.For others might be different.

And it's not just about avoiding legal trouble. It’s also about being ethical and respectful to the creators whose work you're using. After all, the materials they've created have taken time and effort to make, and they deserve proper credit for that. So, when you use their work, it's important to credit them in a way that they would appreciate. In some cases, the creator may have specific instructions on how to credit them, so it's best to follow those instructions to the letter.

Biggest thing to consider is being a good faith actor with your content. Taking the extra time to make sure your assets are within proper guidelines is ethical and respectful to original asset holders, while having the right assets you need to ensure a videos engaging.
