Video Studio Pro X5 Samples + Commercial Use

Post by corel500 »

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to Corel products. I have a question that I have not been able to find through Google searching. I have pulled up some other posts on this forum but nothing that I see that fits my questions directly.

1) Can I monetize (on YouTube) the sample video and audio clips that come with the Corel Video Studio Pro x5 software? There is a link in the program to share files to YouTube. However, is it correct that I have to attribute the use of these clips to Corel? Can I use these samples commercially?

2) If I cannot monetize these samples (or even if I can as long as I attribute to Corel), I would like to find out who has the original license to certain video and audio clips that come with Video Studio and possibly look into purchasing a license to be able to use these samples without attribution. Who and how do I contact to find out how to do this?

Thank you.
Kingston

Corel won't provide you with opinions or advice, and they tell you to talk to your attorney or legal counsel.

Here is the legal web page for the United States:

To add to Kingston's advice, this is a user to user web board. With one exception, none of us work for Corel, and the one person who visits here and is a Corel employee, nonetheless does so in his own time. We are otherwise volunteer users from around the world, just like you. So we can't offer the type of legal advice you are seeking.
