Motion Array

Can I use Motion Array Assets (templates, videos, music, sound, photos, etc) for my YouTube videos?

You absolutely can use our assets for YouTube videos. 👍 If you have a paid account, or even if you have a free account, you can put our assets into a video for publication on YouTube. You don't even have to credit us: just enjoy our content!

Yes you can! However, videos with editorial content cannot be monetized because those clips are non-commercial. You can identify "editorial" content by checking the product page for the Editorial use only. Not for commercial use label:

Are there any rules for uploading to YouTube?

There are just four rules about using our assets on YouTube:

Do not post songs or videos on YouTube for the purpose of distributing them to people for free. When incorporated into a larger work, it is hard to download the song or video to use for free. However, if you post just the song with a visualizer or logo, then it is very easy to download the song for free, even if you don't mean for that to happen.

You need a paid account to publish videos with premium assets on YouTube. Once published, they are licensed forever even if you cancel.

Do not advertise a paid service to customize templates for a 3rd party.

Editorial content cannot be monetized or used for commercial projects.

One more thing...in the event that you get a copyright notice for a video you uploaded to YouTube using Motion Array assets, check out this handy article for <a href="http://help.motionarray.com/en/articles/5979900-what-if-i-get-a-copyright-claim-from-youtube" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clearing YouTube copyright claims</a>. It's also a great idea to save a log of the assets that you downloaded and used for each video, as each asset has a unique asset number and can be helpful if you ever need to find this asset again:

Are some songs registered with content ID?

Some of the songs in our library are registered with content ID. This information is always visible on the asset download page: 

You can learn more about how you can use our content ID registered music <a href="https://app.intercom.com/a/apps/o71yvg8m/articles/articles/4270564/show" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Rest assured, you can monetize videos that contain content ID registered music. 

We hope this has been helpful, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions.
