Music included with VS

[Pete Waterman]

Hi all
My question is about the music you get when you buy Video Studio?
I understood right or wrong that this was free to use and distribute as you wish? IE copyright free no fee to be paid if you use it on say You Tube and the like.
Am I correct in thinking this or is it copyright protected and only supplied for your own use or as a sample?
I hope someone can help and advise me?
Thanks All

All music supplied with VS is from SmartSound and as such is free to use for whatever purpose you want, there are no copyright issues, although it must be said, YouTube does on the odd occasion throw a wobbly and you then have to contact them and advise that the tracks used are SmartSound.

Thanks for the reply Robert

But what about all the standard music clips IE M01, M02, M03 etc.
These are not used within the SmartSound third party add-on?
From what I can make out reading the EULA the last paragraph is giving the rights to use all included clips images etc.
Or am I not reading it correctly?
Thanks

Yes you are reading the EULA correctly - you can use ANY clips images or music in your videos - the only restriction being that you do not sell or otherwise make money from the videos using them

As Robert has said occasionally You-tube throw a wobbly about music - but you just refer them to the VideoStudio EULA

Thanks Brian
But I cannot see any reference to not making any money from them?

This is what I need to find out, if you are correct, as a user of VS you cannot upload to You Tube and monetise your videos at all?
Thanks

looks like they have removed the financial gain restriction now then - so it looks like you don't have a problem
