Ian Corzine Hi Ian, I wanted to try a new concept of showing videos from different perspectives, then having my audience & I work towards a solution. Obviously this will take much longer then the 3-5 second rule. I assume it would be ok to “link” these videos in the description of the show, play them in their entirety & that way I am not violating “fair use.” Would that still meet guidelines?
Hopefully not. The problem is that sometimes people claim other's work as their own and they are successful in getting the other person's video blocked. So frustrating. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
Thanks for the tips and pointers to what to do to avoid copyright issues. Commenting regarding the last video to with gaming copyrights. Love your stuff man and helping to create legit TH-cam channels
Hi, Ian. You've once answered my a question I had in this video, and you replied about using portions of the video and commenting and/or reacting to it. Based on this, I have a follow-up question from you: where you said about clips being short (2 to 5 seconds long) at 6:28, is it possible to do a longer clip of the copyrighted work, but comment or react during most of it?
Don’t really have a favorite commentator. . . 🤷🏻♂️ Here’s a question for you- if you use copyrighted material and get a strike from TH-cam, is there a way to remove the strike, either by taking the video down or altering the copyrighted material? Or is the strike permanent?
My channel is centered around reaction/review/commentary/critique (mostly of movie trailers). When I get copyright claims I often use the "review" fair use argument (in the beginning I used "reaction"). But I've wondered if I should use "commentary" instead. Because that is what I often do in reaction to a trailer I watch. I don't just play the trailer and film my facial reactions. At the end, I discuss my thoughts about the trailer, the story, the actors, review how well the trailer was done, etc - various things. So is "commentary" more accurate than "reaction" or even "review?"
I am confused over the time element here. If I want to analyze a photograph and tell why it works, such as where the lights were placed and the depth of field and how the background was handled, I would have to leave the copyrighted photograph up on the screen for most of the duration of the video. Would this not be allowed because of the time? So far I haven't done this because when you look on Getty, for example, there is a cost for editorial use. Any advice appreciated!
Hey Jill -- I mean, you could. It's just a risk you take. You have to remember we're dealing with TH-cam policies here and bots. What you've described is Fair Use, however, bots sometimes make mistakes. My advice is better be safe than sorry.
i am so glad i found your channel, whenever i read a creator comment about copyright anywhere i let them know about your channel it helps us all make better videos
Yoo! ✌️😀 Ian.. thank you so much.. 😁 I just uploaded my latest video on which I've used 25 songs with commentary and only got 2 copyright claims... I already disputed the claims with appropriate reasons and hoping that they'll remove copyright claims..! Thank you so much Ian! You saved me.. 😊
Appreciate these videos so much. Would you happen to have any advice for doing commentary on lengthy clips? Sometimes the really crucial one-liners I want to reference can run longer than 5 seconds. Thank you so much!
Wow fantastic. What about reaction to music videos? Iv tried this and got copyright notification but no strike. I'm sure lots of other people do too. So any advice on this is great 😀
that's the thing about fair use it does not eliminate copyright claims it just allows you to use copyrighted content without being liable or having to explictly give credit to the copyright holder. they can always issue a claim until youtube deem it a false claim because it was fair use
@Mobile Freelancer SupineSmokey is pretty accurate. The only thing I would add is that if your channel is monetized YT will not usually take down your video, but will direct your profits to the owner of the music video. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching. 👊😁
@@iancorzine but what if you do commentary about a video that happens to be a music video and upload it to other sources that aren’t TH-cam such as an online course? Are you legally liable if you provide legitimate commentary? The only way to teach my students this specific topic I would need to commentate on a music video
Regarding commentary, and I hope someone can answer ...if you are reviewing a song, for example, and you are listening and commenting throughout the video, is that considered fair use? Thank you 🙏
Hi, Ian. I have a question for you regarding your critique/criticism and commentary videos I just saw: at one point, I've seen videos of people talking about certain DVDs from their favorite movies or TV shows they've obtained. Does that count as critique/criticism, commentary, or the creators original work?
Hi Emily. To answer your question, If the creators show portions of the video and then comment and/or react to it, it is considered Fair Use and it becomes their original work. However, they need to abide by the Fair Use exception laws which includes keeping it short and giving credit to the original creator. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching AND for reaching out. 👊😀
Hey Chris -- it's possible that parody covers what you describe but I'd have to see it. Generally, what most YT are doing today is not parody -- it's just using copyrighted material for the punchline, which is not Fair Use.
I understood this to be the case in the context of video essays, however I've been struggling to find information on what would be considered commentary in reference to something like a game mod. What I mean is, would someone basing their mod off of copyrighted material be considered a commentary on the material itself in that it's their interpretation of and expression of said material showing appreciation? If so, what would be the limitations and exemptions in this regard? I'm asking due to the current situation with Nintendo going after modifications for the game Garry's Mod, an 18 year old game, out of the blue and very harshly. Do these creators have any legal standing or defense? I'd love to get more information about this and considering how well you explained this I hope you'd consider covering this topic!
Just to add, in case you're not aware of the situation, these mods made by the community are not for profit (as far as I am aware, if there are outliers they are not the norm and shouldn't be taken into consideration anyway, however I'd be interested to know how this would affect the majority if there was a small few that were profiting where they shouldn't be, and if this would basically destroy any defense others who were not being scummy would have) but I'm sure if you cover this you'll look into it. I just thought I'd add some extra info that could help you decide whether it's worth you're time or not
Do reaction videos like anime reaction videos considered as commentary and fair use? Lately, anime channels haven been receiving a lot of demonization, claims and strikes and even some being terminated(like mine). It would be great to know your view on this. 😁
Hi! Love your youtube channel. I am only starting out and would like to ask if below is copyright if i post on youtube.. I take an online survey like a "personality test" or "which disney character i am", etc. give my thoughts about myself. Thanks!
Hello! Does the audio source used for a reaction video matter, whether it's a TH-cam video on the artist's official account, a YT video uploaded by a fan or audio from a CD? Thanks!
Hi Ian, thanks for your video. If I am correct in my understanding, you can no longer do music reaction videos where you let the video play and simultaneously describe the musical techniques the artists are using. You would get a copyright claim. If you dispute the claim under fair use, even though You Tube has a category for reaction videos and you can state that you were simply providing a review of the video, if the copyright holder wanted to they could actually cause you to go from a copyright claim to a copyright strike?
Kindly advise If the commentary can be a non-verbal one? For example, me reacting to a copyrighted video and giving my opinions in the form of texts displayed on the screen. Can I do that? Thank you...
I love your videos. I have a question though. I want to make tech videos in my Native language. Can I use short clips other peoples tech videos and make a voiceover in my Language. Explaining what's happening on the screen. Is it considered fair use?
I do language -learning-related content for the somewhat obscure language Esperanto. One idea I've had is to dub and comment on other people's videos into .... uh .... better Esperanto. Ideally, I'd like to get permission to do this, but I wonder if it could be considered fair use - education, commentary.... The clips would probably not be short - which is something you keep saying. And again, I think I would rather get permission to use the clips because I'm sure people would appreciate feedback better if they knew it was coming and gave permission first.
So if any youtuber talks about memes,music,gameplays, or even paintings and they pull out of that picture video clip or audio, will that consider as a fair use?
I love the vid! Very relevant. Quick question.. What if my commentary is in a form of text? No voice and with noncopyrighted background music Would it still qualify the fair use? Thanks!
Can I download someone’s entire workout video, and do a picture in picture of me trying their workout. with me adding commentary about the workout? Maybe add some copyright free music in the background.
Hi Thank you for your awesome videos. I learned so much and I already subscribed to your channel. Can you please help me with my questions? I couldn't find a good answer anywhere. How can we use copyrighted movies or videos to make countdown list like top10 lists from watchmojo. I also recommend you to make a video about this because I saw on many forums people were looking for an answer. Thanks
hello Ian great video this is exactly the info i needed, i ask if you do all this, and properly to fall under fair use through commentary, would you still be constrained to using minimal amount of video/song 3-5seconds?
Hi, im pretty new to this TH-cam adventure. I’m trying to understand Fair Use on historical pictures, newspapers clips, and pictures/ drawings out of books in a series I’m working on my other channel. Basically it will be me revisiting locations and wanting to show and talk about a historical event. I understand anything created before 1927 is public domain. But, some of these pictures I have found are on the local public library website and they ask for permission to use pictures, etc. My goal is to be factually informative in my videos by helping the viewers to get a better understanding on the history I’m covering in each episode. I just want to do it the right way from the beginning!! Any suggestions?
Can 'Fair Use' apply to videos that are being interpreted to English, where the video was originally posted on social media, in a foreign language other than English? In other words, would I be able to post videos by using other people's content that I translated into English with added voice interpretation and English subtitles?
Do you think we can monetize videos where we add unique comments to "content uploaded many times by other creators"? Because while commenting on videos makes using other people's monetizable. "Content uploaded many times by other creators" falls into the content reused policy and seems to imply that using other people's videos are not monetizable. I am confused.
Quick question- creators like Linus and Charisma for sure monetize their videos, so is it still considered fair use even if they're making money off of other people's work? And with that being said, am I allowed to monetize a video of me commentating over a video that I didn't create?
Thanks for your videos! I'm learning a lot! I have a question tho, what if I want to create a mashup video of different clips from other TH-cam videos? Like for example, could I use 15 20 seconds of different videos of people talking about motivation and put them all together in one video?. Is that allowed?
And is it possible also, to do this, and use a popular song in the background in a lower volume, but still have the audio from each of the different clips?
What about affiliate marketing videos or compilation videos for example top 10s or tech channels with compilations videos without commentary just a series of clips and still getting monetized.

this information is PARAMOUNT!!!!! does using the copyrighted material/GIFS (7 seconds and under) to comedically comment/compliment what im talking about in the video?
So I was wondering, what if I am interviewing a person that was on a late night talk show? What if I used the clip that featured the person I am interviewing? And we talked about what happened and how did they get to be featured on that talk show after I showed the clip? Does that count as part of the fair use guidelines?
Yes, as long a you follow the Fair Use rules. Make sure the clip is only 2-5 seconds long (10 secs max) and that you comment and/or react directly to the clip you just showed. You may want to watch some of my other videos that talk more about this. Thanks for watching AND I hope this answered your question. 👊😁
Everything has a copyright attached to it by whomever created it (whether they have registered it or not), therefore you can just assume that ALL videos are copyrighted. You cannot use material that is not yours or that you do not have permission to use. It's really that simple. 👊😀
Im planing to make a channel to review movies and top10list and such,similar to watchmojo channel.is it ok to follow the approach of watchmojo channel????commenting while playing movie parts in background??
Hey Ian! Thanks for directing me to this video. I am still confused about something. I want to make a reaction video featuring clips from the Dr. Phil show. How do I avoid copyright strikes? Any input appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Marina (again)!! I believe you watched my previous video about Fair Use. There are 5 guidelines in there that you must abide by: The video you share can only be 3-5 seconds long, and then you must comment and/or react to the video you just showed. The video on Fair Use is the main video and then I have made other videos to explain more of it. I would suggest you watch several of my videos and then I bet you will begin to understand it. 👊😀
What if I want to use video game footage in my video but then I talk about how these clips relate to what I am discussing? Is this considered fair use? I just want to make sure that I won't get copyrighted before I start posting videos. Like if I played a clip then talked about how it helps prove my theory?
Are videos like what Ray William Johnson did considered fair use? Would it be fair use to play a copy righted video and pause it every 4-5 seconds to commentate it and give your own twist about what is happening?
You must have permission to use the video you will be sharing. Otherwise, you can only use 2-5 seconds (10 secs max) of all the videos AND then you must comment and or react to the video you showed. Make sure you totally understand this principle or you will lose your channel before you even begin. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Good luck. 👊😀🍀

Hi! Thanks for this video! I`m preparing a channel that will have commentaries and reviews on fashion shows, editorials and fashion collections, along side video commentary on styling from kpop mvs. So.... just because i will put my opinion, describe and analyze in details what is going on and explain the complicated aspects of them, the videos will be under fair use and not be claimed or struck????
Thank you for this information. My channel is to teach people to be Script Supervisors, and I want to use movie scenes to show how to describe them. Can I get away with showing a 1-minute clip, then commenting on it, and then disect each section. But I want to show the sequence all together first. How can I do that?
I have 2 questions: 1. Is copyright strike and copyright claim the same thing? 2. I used some songs in my video and I wrote comments on the clips but the audio still got copyright claim. I cannot remove the audio because well if I'm giving my feedback on the song, I'll have to play it i guess. What should I do?
Hi alot of info on your channel thank you 😊 i got a question what if the artwork on sale comes with terms such as “cannot be publicly reviewed ...” Can others still review it according to fair use law?

Hey Ian Corzine!!! What about real estate listing photos for transformative content? When does fair use kick in if you are a realtor making shorts on youtube of other peoples listings.
Hello Mr. Corzine! I was wondering, my friends and I have started this TH-cam channel where we react to and review movies (in separate videos). For the reactions, we watch through the movie together and then cut out most of the movie for the final video. While we record, we usually speak over and discuss the movie as it is playing, thus preventing us from using a short clip, which you mention is preferable. Would this still be considered commentary (or any other form of Fair Use), even though we are not distinctly pausing the movie and discussing it? Thank you for all of your videos on the copyright and fair use ideas and laws! I am actually starting to understand!
Hey quick question Ian. Are TH-camrs like Ozzy Man within the rights of Fair Use, as he does comical reviews on the various videos on the Internet? Thanks you!
Good evening Ian, I would like to play some movies on my channel and then comment of the movie. Will I get a copyright? Can I play the whole video and comment on it throughout? Thanks.

Hi Ian, I'm thinking of starting a TH-cam channel where I'd teach plot structure using TV episodes as examples. The way that I wanted to do it was by having my voice talking about the structure of the particular episode that I'm talking about (say, The Office Season 4 Episode 1), and while I'm talking about the structure of that episode, I'd have relevant clips from that episode playing, although the audio from those video clips wouldn't be playing, just the video. My questions are: if I monetize the video, does that fall under fair use, and am I okay to start making videos like that? If not, then would I be alright to do that WITHOUT monetizing the videos? And failing that, what if I used pictures of the SCRIPT from that episode instead of actual video clips? As in, the video would just be me and then images of relevant portions of the script from that episode? Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. I love your videos!
Who is your favorite COMMENTATOR on TH-cam? Does that person comply with ⭐️ FAIR USE ⭐️rules?

Written words are subject to copyright, too, and so you have to put Fair Use principles to work!

So if any youtuber talks about memes,music,gameplays, or even paintings and they pull out of that picture video clip or audio, will that consider as a fair use?
I love the vid! Very relevant.
Quick question..
What if my commentary is in a form of text? No voice and with noncopyrighted background music
Would it still qualify the fair use?
Thanks!
Nothing better than getting free advice from a lawyer!
Haha! Thanks man -- I so appreciate it!
Can I download someone’s entire workout video, and do a picture in picture of me trying their workout. with me adding commentary about the workout? Maybe add some copyright free music in the background.
Hi
Thank you for your awesome videos. I learned so much and I already subscribed to your channel.
Can you please help me with my questions? I couldn't find a good answer anywhere. How can we use copyrighted movies or videos to make countdown list like top10 lists from watchmojo. I also recommend you to make a video about this because I saw on many forums people were looking for an answer. Thanks
hello Ian great video this is exactly the info i needed, i ask if you do all this, and properly to fall under fair use through commentary, would you still be constrained to using minimal amount of video/song 3-5seconds?
you my man are a saint
Hi, im pretty new to this TH-cam adventure. I’m trying to understand Fair Use on historical pictures, newspapers clips, and pictures/ drawings out of books in a series I’m working on my other channel.
Basically it will be me revisiting locations and wanting to show and talk about a historical event.
I understand anything created before 1927 is public domain. But, some of these pictures I have found are on the local public library website and they ask for permission to use pictures, etc.
My goal is to be factually informative in my videos by helping the viewers to get a better understanding on the history I’m covering in each episode.
I just want to do it the right way from the beginning!! Any suggestions?
Can 'Fair Use' apply to videos that are being interpreted to English, where the video was originally posted on social media, in a foreign language other than English? In other words, would I be able to post videos by using other people's content that I translated into English with added voice interpretation and English subtitles?
I'm unclear what the difference is between critique and commentary. Could you clarify that, please?
Thank you so much! You’re amazing and I appreciate this channel 🎉
Do you think we can monetize videos where we add unique comments to "content uploaded many times by other creators"?
Because while commenting on videos makes using other people's monetizable. "Content uploaded many times by other creators" falls into the content reused policy and seems to imply that using other people's videos are not monetizable. I am confused.
Can i add text caption on copyright video instead of commentary?
Quick question- creators like Linus and Charisma for sure monetize their videos, so is it still considered fair use even if they're making money off of other people's work? And with that being said, am I allowed to monetize a video of me commentating over a video that I didn't create?
Thanks for your videos! I'm learning a lot! I have a question tho, what if I want to create a mashup video of different clips from other TH-cam videos? Like for example, could I use 15 20 seconds of different videos of people talking about motivation and put them all together in one video?. Is that allowed?
And is it possible also, to do this, and use a popular song in the background in a lower volume, but still have the audio from each of the different clips?
Wow. Great video, Im loving this series. Thanks for following up!! BEST YT LAWYER :)
Aww thanks!!! 💗👊😀
What about gameplay commentary 10 - 15 minutes? is it okay?
Appreciate the information, thank you.
What about affiliate marketing videos or compilation videos for example top 10s or tech channels with compilations videos without commentary just a series of clips and still getting monetized.

This helps me because I've gotten into music remixes and it can kick me in the behind
Yep! Really hard stuff to do on TH-cam.
@@iancorzine I agree! But I have rights as long as the music is my own work
Thanks for the help Ian! 😉❤️
Well, thanks so much for watching JD!
this information is PARAMOUNT!!!!! does using the copyrighted material/GIFS (7 seconds and under) to comedically comment/compliment what im talking about in the video?
Best channel on the subject!
So I was wondering, what if I am interviewing a person that was on a late night talk show? What if I used the clip that featured the person I am interviewing? And we talked about what happened and how did they get to be featured on that talk show after I showed the clip? Does that count as part of the fair use guidelines?
Yes, as long a you follow the Fair Use rules. Make sure the clip is only 2-5 seconds long (10 secs max) and that you comment and/or react directly to the clip you just showed. You may want to watch some of my other videos that talk more about this. Thanks for watching AND I hope this answered your question. 👊😁
I've been searching for this information. Thank you
Best video on this topic! Good work
EXACTLY what i needed to hear.
Thank you.
Hey Ian! How do you know if a video is copyrighted? Any input appreciated. Thanks!
Everything has a copyright attached to it by whomever created it (whether they have registered it or not), therefore you can just assume that ALL videos are copyrighted. You cannot use material that is not yours or that you do not have permission to use. It's really that simple. 👊😀
Are you allowed to create a reaction video that only shows 7 second clips at a time? Thanks Ian.
But how can channels like Watchomjo use clips from hollywood movies in their videos without doing commentary over it when giving examples?
Im planing to make a channel to review movies and top10list and such,similar to watchmojo channel.is it ok to follow the approach of watchmojo channel????commenting while playing movie parts in background??
Hey Ian! Thanks for directing me to this video. I am still confused about something. I want to make a reaction video featuring clips from the Dr. Phil show. How do I avoid copyright strikes? Any input appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Marina (again)!! I believe you watched my previous video about Fair Use. There are 5 guidelines in there that you must abide by: The video you share can only be 3-5 seconds long, and then you must comment and/or react to the video you just showed. The video on Fair Use is the main video and then I have made other videos to explain more of it. I would suggest you watch several of my videos and then I bet you will begin to understand it. 👊😀
What if I want to use video game footage in my video but then I talk about how these clips relate to what I am discussing? Is this considered fair use? I just want to make sure that I won't get copyrighted before I start posting videos. Like if I played a clip then talked about how it helps prove my theory?
Are videos like what Ray William Johnson did considered fair use? Would it be fair use to play a copy righted video and pause it every 4-5 seconds to commentate it and give your own twist about what is happening?
I want to make a sports channel on youtube....with my own voice and commentary.....I want to know if it will be under fair use
You must have permission to use the video you will be sharing. Otherwise, you can only use 2-5 seconds (10 secs max) of all the videos AND then you must comment and or react to the video you showed. Make sure you totally understand this principle or you will lose your channel before you even begin. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Good luck. 👊😀🍀
@@iancorzine this guy makes documentaries of football players...compilation of videos from several sources and commentary in his own voice throughout the video....he does not show his face.....his channel is official and ads play while i am watching his videos...i am wondering if i can make videos like that without permission?

@@iancorzine Very Imformative, WHY I have A Lot of CopyRight Strike and Take Down My Videos?? I Copy There Script for Around 4 Minutes The Video Was 15Minutes OF Voice Over Basketball Content But I edit The Video and Not Use There Video ...Question What Is my Violation??? if i Do Counter Notification it Is Worthwile or Not? Please Answer Me Thank YOu
if i edit one minute video and make it 5 secs video without commentary is it fair use?
Hi! Thanks for this video! I`m preparing a channel that will have commentaries and reviews on fashion shows, editorials and fashion collections, along side video commentary on styling from kpop mvs. So.... just because i will put my opinion, describe and analyze in details what is going on and explain the complicated aspects of them, the videos will be under fair use and not be claimed or struck????
Thank you for this information. My channel is to teach people to be Script Supervisors, and I want to use movie scenes to show how to describe them. Can I get away with showing a 1-minute clip, then commenting on it, and then disect each section. But I want to show the sequence all together first. How can I do that?
pretty sure u can
i think u can get away with under 3min
but try doing even less
I have 2 questions:
1. Is copyright strike and copyright claim the same thing?
2. I used some songs in my video and I wrote comments on the clips but the audio still got copyright claim. I cannot remove the audio because well if I'm giving my feedback on the song, I'll have to play it i guess. What should I do?
Hi alot of info on your channel thank you 😊 i got a question what if the artwork on sale comes with terms such as “cannot be publicly reviewed ...” Can others still review it according to fair use law?
Favorite? Actually, I have a few.
Midnight's Edge
Nerdrotic
DVD Overlord
Anna That Star Wars Girl
Just to name a few commentators of Pop culture who depend on Fair Use and Commentary
I had never of Nerdrotic! Thanks!
Are you sure that I can get a copyrighted media on my videos with fair use?
Hey Ian Corzine!!! What about real estate listing photos for transformative content? When does fair use kick in if you are a realtor making shorts on youtube of other peoples listings.
Hello Mr. Corzine! I was wondering, my friends and I have started this TH-cam channel where we react to and review movies (in separate videos). For the reactions, we watch through the movie together and then cut out most of the movie for the final video. While we record, we usually speak over and discuss the movie as it is playing, thus preventing us from using a short clip, which you mention is preferable. Would this still be considered commentary (or any other form of Fair Use), even though we are not distinctly pausing the movie and discussing it?
Thank you for all of your videos on the copyright and fair use ideas and laws! I am actually starting to understand!
You deserves a million views.
Thank you so much!!! I'm trying to help creators be successful. 👊😀
Hey quick question Ian. Are TH-camrs like Ozzy Man within the rights of Fair Use, as he does comical reviews on the various videos on the Internet? Thanks you!
He sir can I make my own sports video and then can use commentry from professional match is that copyright or not?
Love the Charisma on Command channel.
You should be teaming with TH-cam ian... just saying. 😎
In the play book, DSLR!!
Good evening Ian, I would like to play some movies on my channel and then comment of the movie. Will I get a copyright? Can I play the whole video and comment on it throughout? Thanks.
That’s the same question I have. Can you please let me know if you come across the answer.

Hi Ian! I find your videos so helpful. Thank you for making this kind of content! I'm trying to upload a reaction to a new music video, and I want to show the entire video pausing along the way to interject with my thoughts. Do you have any suggestions for trying to react to longer stretches of content? Because every time I upload the video it keeps getting a copyright claim and/or taken down entirely despite the fact that I am offering commentary throughout the entire thing. Thank you so much!
I would love to help out and answer any questions you may have!
You can book a call and set up a scheduled 1-on-1 call with me.

Hi Ian, I'm thinking of starting a TH-cam channel where I'd teach plot structure using TV episodes as examples. The way that I wanted to do it was by having my voice talking about the structure of the particular episode that I'm talking about (say, The Office Season 4 Episode 1), and while I'm talking about the structure of that episode, I'd have relevant clips from that episode playing, although the audio from those video clips wouldn't be playing, just the video.
My questions are: if I monetize the video, does that fall under fair use, and am I okay to start making videos like that? If not, then would I be alright to do that WITHOUT monetizing the videos? And failing that, what if I used pictures of the SCRIPT from that episode instead of actual video clips? As in, the video would just be me and then images of relevant portions of the script from that episode?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. I love your videos!
