Questions channel owners ask
- Who owns the finished videos?
- You do, subject to the licenses of the footage inside them, which we list shot by shot.
- Can you guarantee monetization?
- No. YouTube reviews each channel on its own. We give you original research and clear records.
- What if a shot can’t be cleared?
- We replace it, or use an illustration that is clearly labelled as one. We never pass off a generated image as archive footage.
